Business Litigation
Mr. Nelson Lovins
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
This course will examine the practical application of litigation tools and strategies in the context of business related problems. Students will be expected to draw upon the law of civil procedure and evidence and to a lesser extent business law. Some of the areas that will be covered are pleadings, dispositive motions, depositions and other discovery vehicles, emergency relief, post-judgment relief, expert witnesses in and out of the court room, the investigation and proof of business mismanagement, fiduciary relations in a closely held corporation, and practical trial evidence. Students are required to produce a complaint for an injunction and a memorandum in support. Students are also required to participate in mock trial exercises.
The final grade will be based on a combination of written and oral exercises.
 Prerequisite: Civil Procedure and Evidence. Corporations would be helpful, but not necessary
