California Paralegal Manual: Civil Trials and Evidence (The Rutter Group Paralegal Series)

This manual is written for California paralegals by two Los Angeles Superior Court judges who have worked extensively in legal education for judges, lawyers, and paralegals. It is a tremendous resource for legal professionals interested in the role paralegals play in trial and trial preparation. Topics include trial setting, pretrial documents, the final status conference, jury selection, management and deliberation, evidence, direct and cross-examination, jury instructions, and verdict forms, as well as the use of technology in the courtroom.
