Master the litigation lifecycle — from pleadings and discovery to trial prep — as a litigation paralegal. A practical, end-to-end guide to the litigation paralegal's role. You'll draft pleadings and motions, build reliable systems for calendaring deadlines and organizing case files, and work through both sides of the discovery process, from propounding requests and preparing depositions to responding and producing documents. The course then moves into trial readiness — assembling exhibits, briefs, and trial notebooks — and clarifies the paralegal's role at trial, closing with the ethics rules every litigation paralegal must follow.
