Description

Pretrial Litigation: Law, Policy, and Practice 7th Edition R. Lawrence Dessem ISBN 9781647084660

The seventh edition of this text was developed with a clear goal: to modernize a classic pretrial litigation textbook for today’s law students while preserving the qualities that have long made it effective in the classroom. To that end, outdated historical material has been streamlined or removed, and examples have been thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary legal practice.

At the same time, the seventh edition retains the core features that have distinguished this text for decades. Students are immersed in a realistic, simulated lawsuit that allows them to gain hands-on experience with every major stage of modern pretrial litigation. Carefully selected excerpts from judicial opinions and popular nonfiction introduce ethical dilemmas and real-world lawyering challenges, encouraging thoughtful discussion and critical reflection.

The text also incorporates the most recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence, ensuring that students work with current law as they develop practical skills. The result is a modern, practice-oriented learning tool that prepares students to navigate pretrial litigation with confidence and professional insight.
