A proven success in hundreds of classrooms nationwide, Maerowitz and Mauet's introduction to litigation features greater teaching flexibility than the other leading texts. It covers every step of the litigation process in depth, from the moment the client walks in the door to final settlements - yet never burdens students with needless details and digressions. The writing is friendly and intelligent - with a unique ability to clarify the reasoning behind legal procedures. The pedagogy is expertly crafted for paralegal courses, especially the case materials. They include examples and documents in the text itself, along with a complete litigation file in the appendix, and six separate case scenarios in the accompanying electronic workbook. The quality and variety of the case materials allow you to teach as you wish, rather than locking you into a single case or running scenario.
