Product Details
Litigation By The Numbers® (LBTN)
There’s a rule for everything in California State Court litigation. The ones you must follow to prepare and timely file and serve your document could be in the Code of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Court, or, as is usually the case, both. There are mandatory state court forms for various procedures as well. In addition, each county has its own rules and local forms.
Litigation By The Numbers®, the California civil litigation practice guide (approximately 500 pages) relied on by legal practitioners and their entire staff, brings many of the state codes, rules, and forms, and the Los Angeles County rules and forms together in one place, explaining the procedures step-by-step. More importantly, it’s updated every January and July to keep up with the code, rule, and form changes. (See “LBTN Update Service” below)

LBTN Update Service
In California, changes are made to codes, rules, and forms every January and every July. Los Angeles County also changes its rules and forms every January and July. The author monitors those changes well before they are implemented, and has often been involved in the changes themselves [see comment matrix]. Nine times out of ten, those changes affect the accuracy of Litigation By The Numbers®.
The LBTN Update Service ensures that your copy has the latest rules, codes, and forms – so it remains as up-to-date as it was on the date of your initial purchase. You’ll receive notice of the availability of the newly revised PDF plus a Cover Memo highlighting the key changes. (See the January 2021 Update Service Cover Memo.)

California Civil Litigation and Discovery (CCLD)
California Civil Litigation and Discovery (“CCLD”) (approximately 220 pages) 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. Updated as needed (when C.C.P. changes).
