Barb Pollinger, J.D., Instructor Fullerton College and Santa Ana College "I have been using Litigation By The Numbers® as the text for my civil procedure and litigation class at American River College in Sacramento.  The students in my class represent a wide range of experience and ability.  I have been very pleased with the text for use in my class.  It is clear, concise and is especially useful insofar as the step by step instructions are concerned.  I particularly like the examples of the custom drafted forms.  This gives the students a good example of how certain pleadings should be formatted.  I would recommend LBTN not only as a textbook but also as a practical guide for use by paralegals and legal secretaries who are involved in civil litigation practice." Stephen H. Johanson, Esq., American River College, Sacramento, CA "All of the Civil Litigation teachers on my staff have spoken to me of the value of the book.  I have also taught the courses myself, and know from personal experience just how valuable your book is to students.  . . . I especially appreciate the chapter introductions and vocabulary sections that precede the sample forms and pleadings.  . . . [It is] a wonderful classroom instructional manual and resource that students will be able to take with them when they go to work in law offices.  I should note that one student came to school with instructions to purchase a copy of the book for her lawyer-employer." William B. Dixon, Paralegal Program Director - South Coast College  "Litigation By The Numbers® is working out quite well.  The students love having something tangible that they can look at and relate to when I am discussing their assignments.  They appreciate the step by step approach you take with the creation of all of the documents.  I'll definitely be using it again the next time civil litigation is offered." Dr. Steven Dayton, Department Coordinator for Paralegal Studies - Fullerton College   Why Is Litigation By The Numbers® Such an Effective Teaching Tool?   ü       It is up-to-date (updated every January and July)!  You won't have to explain to your students that the CRC rule numbers or Discovery code sections cited in the book are obsolete, or that the filing and service deadlines for motions changed years ago.    ü      It is written in plain English, with clear and concise examples and instructions.   ü      It covers, in great detail, the procedure one typically encounters in California civil litigation.  Click here for the detailed table of contents.   ü      Each chapter begins with essential legal terminology introduced in that section.  (Click to see Chapter 1 (Appearance By Plaintiff) vocabulary, and Chapter 6 (Motions) vocabulary.)   ü      It explains the purpose of each phase of the lawsuit, putting each task in context.  (View excerpts of the Discovery and Motions sections.)   ü       Simple tables make teaching and learning easier, and are great on-the-job references!     The new Substantive Companion is an invaluable addition.  Click here to view the full Table of Contents and Excerpts.  Together, Litigation By The Numbers and the Substantive Companion surpass any other California civil litigation text on the market.   Instructors - please ask us to ship you a review copy of one or both publications today!
