Julie A. Goren, a Los Angeles attorney, wrote the first edition of Litigation By The Numbers® in 1982, a few years after she had become a self-taught legal secretary. Having searched in vain for a book which would take the mystery out of California litigation, she decided to fill the need herself by writing a book which enabled the reader to perform the functions of a litigation secretary simply by following step-by-step instructions.
After publishing the first edition, Julie attended Loyola Law School, graduating with honors in 1987. She later held associate positions at the law firms of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Buchalter, Nemer, Fields & Younger in Los Angeles.
Since 1982, and throughout law school and law practice, Julie has kept the book up-to-date, adding more substantive information of use to attorneys and paralegals. In 1992, she transferred the rights to the book to West Publishing Company, which published the book under the title California Litigation By The Numbers: Court Rules Companion. West later transferred the rights to Matthew Bender & Company, Inc., which published the book as California Litigation By The Numbers: Court Rules Companion – Second Edition.
Julie regained the publishing rights in 2002, and has since then devoted her professional time to: (i) keeping the Fourth Edition of Litigation By The Numbers® up to date, (ii) speaking engagements on the topic of calendaring and new rules in the Southern California area, and (iii) co-authoring and publishing the new Substantive Companion to Litigation By The Numbers®.
