PARA 2107 - Civil Procedure and Litigation I

This course gives students a detailed knowledge of the law of pleading and practice in federal and state courts in Georgia. In learning the principles of civil litigation, students will learn how to begin organizing a civil case for trial beginning with the initial investigation, preparation of the initial pleadings, and written discovery. Students will learn causes of action and defenses, and the rules of procedure and discovery, along with ethical responsibilities. PARA 2107 will be followed by PARA 2109, which will cover those discovery mechanisms not covered in PARA 2107, along with pre-trial motions, the basics of a civil trial, post-trial motions, and appeals.
