LW 105 - Civil Law

3 Credits
This course will explore the phases of a civil trial from the pre-trial stage, to the actual trial through post trial and appeal. Topics include court structure jurisdiction evidence, motion practice, discovery and alternative dispute resolution. Particular attention will be devoted to Pennsylvania civil procedure in addition to general principles of procedure. The student will gain both a theoretical and practical approach by not only studying rules which govern the civil case but also by drafting pleadings pertinent to such a case.
