Description

Pretrial, 9E by Thomas A. Mauet and David Marcus is a clear and concise book that organizes pretrial planning into a series of steps students can easily master. Students have limited ways to learn about how lawyers prepare and manage cases while in ordinary law school classes.  Pretrial, 9E introduces students to aspects of case development and management, ranging from an initial client interview to the analysis of settlement strategy and terms, and it provides sample documentation for each stage of the civil case. These are the day-to-day tasks that litigators encounter, but they are neglected by most ordinary law school courses.  Pretrial helps to fill this void.

Key Features:

  • Text thoroughly revised by new co-author
  • Significant updates to sections on discovery and jurisdiction to account for numerous new developments since the last edition.
  • Expanded and revised discussions of core procedural doctrines, including the law of class actions, summary judgment, and choice of law
  • New material on e-Discovery, liens, and other rapidly evolving litigation issues
  • Thorough revision to discussion of personal jurisdiction
