How do law students - or junior lawyers, for that matter - learn how to get things done in a courtroom? Certainly not by listening to the war stories told by accomplished litigators. This handbook offers a practical solution, and an experiential one. Advocacy can be taught, and this handbook takes on that task. Readers are led through all the steps of the civil litigation process that require oral advocacy, starting with the initial client interview. Civil litigators must learn the facts - all the facts. Then they have to analyze them. This handbook takes case analysis very seriously. If the reader learns nothing else from these pages, the techniques of case analysis will stand out as a major value. Case analysis informs all of the advocacy decisions and tactics that guide the litigator to a successful outcome. Even if taking the last offer is that outcome. Without proper analysis, how can the litigator create and implement an examination strategy? Students who "learn" case analysis by reading court decisions fail to grasp what trial lawyers know. Before the witnesses testify and the judge decides, the lawyers do not know what the "facts" are. Or how the judge will spin them to the ultimate conclusion. This handbook is written to arm the reader to analyze and strategize from the known facts. And to recognize the risks and to mitigate them as best as possible. The handbook presents the techniques to outline examinations, whether for discovery/depositions, direct (chief) or cross. Often, success depends on preparation. Preparation in gathering the facts, marshalling them and ordering them into an outline. A litigator who wings it is rarely acting professionally. The handbook then presents the techniques to conduct those examinations. The formula for a successful examination is part of the holistic structure that marries case analysis and fact gathering to telling the story persuasively. A major plus in these pages is the use of the example. The chapters refer to a simple legal case study, and then demonstrates the techniques using the characters and facts of that case. The handbook was written for Canadian lawyers and law students, but the lessons are applicable in all common law jurisdictions. Witnesses and judges are similar everywhere. So, from initial interview to final argument, this handbook informs the reader about the art of civil advocacy.

This book contains the first major comparative study of litigation costs and methods of funding litigation in more than 30 jurisdictions. It was linked with the most comprehensive review of costs ever carried out in England and Wales by Lord Justice Jackson in 2009 and benefited from the assistance of leading practitioners around the globe. The study analyses the principles and rules that relate to paying courts, witnesses and lawyers, and the rules on cost shifting, if any. It also notes the major ways in which litigation can be funded, identifying the global trend on contraction of legal aid, the so far limited spread of contingency fees, and the growing new phenomenon of private third party litigation funding. The study also presents the results of nine case studies of typical claim types, so as to give a first overview comparison of which countries' legal systems are cheaper or more expensive. The book further contains national chapters with in depth analysis contributed by scholars in 18 jurisdictions (Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, England & Wales, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan and USA) and a further chapter on Latin American jurisdictions. 'Dr Hodges, Professor Vogenauer and Dr Tulibacka have conducted an excellent and thorough comparative study of litigation costs and funding across a wide range of jurisdictions ('the Oxford study'). The Oxford study is important, because it provides both context and background for any critical examination of our own costs and funding rules... I commend this book both for its breadth and detail and also for its percipient commentary. This work will make a valuable contribution to the debate which lies ahead about how the costs and funding rules of England and Wales should be reformed in order to promote access to justice.' From the Foreword by Lord Justice Jackson, Royal Courts of Justice, 16th July 2010

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • The true story of one man so determined to take down two of the nation's largest corporations accused of killing children from water contamination that he risks losing everything. "The legal thriller of the decade." —Cleveland Plain Dealer Described as “a page-turner filled with greed, duplicity, heartache, and bare-knuckle legal brinksmanship" by The New York Times, A Civil Action is the searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry—one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice. Yet it is also the story of how one man can ultimately make a difference. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. With an unstoppable narrative power reminiscent of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, A Civil Action is an unforgettable reading experience that will leave the reader both shocked and enlightened. A Civil Action was made into a movie starring John Travolta and Robert Duvall.

Outlining an examination is no different than preparing to write a book. Both exercises start with the relevant material - facts, arguments, stories. Then both break the material into suitable components - chapters, if you will. Each chapter consists of sub-chapters, and so on. But ultimately, the success of an examination or book depends upon the identification and nailing of the points needed to persuade, amuse, or inform. This requires that the outliner adopt a theme, complete with evocative words and phrases that make all those points into weapons. This handbook is a stand-alone DIY presentation of the techniques lawyers need to create and implement a successful outline. It works for discovery and deposition. It works for direct (chief). And it really works for cross-examinations. Any successful trial lawyer will point to all the preparation that goes into the winning cross. The outline is where that preparation finds its home. -What points will you make? -How will you introduce them? -How will you organize them? -What could go wrong? -What happens then? This handbook identifies the steps that lawyers use to convert the jumbled mass of "stuff" on their desks into a persuasive examination outline. From blank page to winning verdict. While it stands on its own, this handbook works on the same principles as and serves as a companion to Introduction to Trial Advocacy, the first in the Advocacy Club Series of handbooks. As with the other handbooks in the Series, a legal case study guides the reader through the process - with tips, techniques, templates and examples. Although written for Canadian lawyers and students, the principles are universal. They apply as much to legal writing and argument as they do to outlining examinations for civil litigation. Of course, the handbook was itself written using an outline. One that used the same techniques as are presented here. Preparation for trial is difficult enough, fraught with time shortages, gaps in the evidence, fear of the unknown. This handbook helps the lawyer to overcome some of the obstacles - to convert risk into opportunity, enemies into supportive allies.

The volume describes and analyzes how the costs of litigation in civil procedure are distributed in key countries around the world. It compares the various approaches, draws general conclusions from that comparison, and presents global trends as well as common problems and solutions. In particular, the book deals with three principal questions: First, who pays for civil litigation costs, i.e., to what extent do losers have to make winners whole? Second, how much money is at stake, i.e., how expensive is civil litigation in the respective jurisdictions? And third, whose money is ultimately spent, i.e., how are civil litigation costs distributed through mechanisms like legal aid, litigation insurance, collective actions, and success oriented fees? Inter alia, the study reveals a general trend towards deregulation of lawyer fees as well as a substantial correlation between the burden of litigation costs and membership of a jurisdiction in the civil and common law families. This study is the result of the XVIIIth World Congress of Comparative Law held under the auspices of the International Academy of Comparative Law.
