LAW-214A - Civil Procedure and Skills A

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 16

Civil Procedure and Skills is the study of the rules of courts. Unlike other substantive courses, Civil Procedure and Skills is not the examination of rights, injuries, and available remedies. Instead, Civil Procedure and Skills is the framework upon which those rights are brought before the tribunal and how to collect on remedies awarded for injury. Topics include jurisdiction, venue, service of process, pleading, discovery, multiparty litigation, pretrial motions, trial, judgments, and appellate procedure. The course covers both federal and California civil procedure.
