Product Description
Product Description
There is much more to consider in drafting pleadings than simply making sure that the document meets bare notice requirements. Commencing suit is one of the most critical points in any piece of litigation and starting the case out right is crucial.
This program provides practical guidance for drafting pleadings thoroughly and well, in a manner that both complies with the requirements of the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure, and avoids issues of insufficient pleading that may arise under those rules. Learn what you need to know about drafting effecting complaints, service of process, and preparing equally effective answers in a variety of civil actions.
