  • • What are some differences between the pre-suit phase of a case and the litigation portion of a case?
  • • What task comes next in the litigation process?
  • • Can you tell me about some real-life experiences of a paralegal in a trial practice?
  • • What really happens to get a case ready for trial?


The answers to these questions, in-depth and straight from inside the profession, are here!

Follow two cases, from intake to trial, through the entire civil process and gain a broad-based, big-picture understanding of the work involved as a paralegal in a trial practice.
