COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Pretrial Civil Litigation
Prof. Linda Sandstrom Simard, Mr. Michael Roitman
3 credits day; 3 credits evening.

This course covers the pre-trial events of civil litigation from initial client interviews through the final pre-trial conference. The course will cover civil discovery including document requests, interrogatories and depositions. Pre-trial motions including motions to amend, to dismiss, for sanctions and for summary judgment will also be covered in this course. Students will prepare two legal Memoranda in support of pre-trial motions and will conduct a deposition. Students should note that there are two discovery-related courses offered: Pretrial Civil Litigation and Drafting Discovery Documents. The content of these courses is substantially similar and thus students may enroll in only one of the two discovery-related courses.
