Civil Pretrial Practice

Catalog description

Identifies the skills needed for civil pretrial practice and to appreciate what is involved in developing and applying these skills. In addition to discussion of the rules and their application, class focuses on custom and practice with the goal of preparing students for the practice of law in Arizona. There is insufficient time in this class, or frankly any class, to develop the skills to a point where students can feel comfortable that they have sufficient expertise to competently apply these skills. However, by participating in class activities that involve implementing these skills in the context of a specific case, students should leave with sufficient understanding of these skills that they can move quickly into and through the learning process that comes with practice experience.
