Litigation By The Numbers®
The Essential California Civil Litigation Handbook
(Revised January 2025)
There’s a rule for everything in California state court litigation. The ones you have to follow to prepare and timely file and serve your document could be in the Code of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Court, local rules, or, as is often the case, all of the above! There are mandatory state and local court forms for various procedures as well. And these all change often!
Litigation By The Numbers® (“LBTN”), updated every January and July, is a California civil litigation practice guide which brings those state codes, rules, and forms (as well as L.A. County local rules and forms) together to explain key procedures step-by-step. LBTN is relied on throughout California by attorneys, their entire staff, as well as self-represented individuals. LBTN is delivered in instantly downloadable PDF format.
California Civil Litigation and Discovery
LBTN Substantive Companion
(Revised January 2025)
California Civil Litigation and Discovery (“CCLD”) takes a substantive approach to litigation, e.g., what the pleadings should say (naming parties, jurisdiction, stating elements of causes of action), rather than what they look like and how they are filed and served; discovery strategies and drafting hints (scope of discovery, discovery plans, drafting written discovery, objections, and responses) rather than format, limits, and deadlines, etc. CCLD is delivered in instantly downloadable PDF format.
