The 6 Types of Lawsuit Complaints

09 Dec

Know the 6 types of lawsuit complaints.

Every lawsuit starts with a complaint.

See how easy it is?

  1. The plaintiff in the chart sues Defendant A and Defendant B.
  2. Defendant B counter-claims against Plaintiff.
  3. Defendant A cross-claims against Defendant B.
  4. Defendant B counter-cross-claims against Defendant A.
  5. Defendant A files a third-party complaint against Third Party Defendant.
  6. Third-Party Defendant counter-claims against Defendant A.

That’s all there is to it!

See how easy it is?

Lawsuits are “ridiculously easy-to-understand” once the Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course shows you how the parts fit together.

If you have a lawyer, you’ll know what your lawyer should be doing!

If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll know what it takes to win!

The course offers many diagrams just like this plus charts, sample forms, simplified explanations, and practical tactics that give you power to win … with or without a lawyer!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

It’s not rocket science.

It’s straight-forward once you see the step-by-step procedures and how they’re controlled by a simple set of rules an average 8th grader can understand.

Everyone knows a baseball game has at least 9 innings.

Everyone knows the visiting team is first to bat.

Everyone knows the batter goes back to the dugout after 3 strikes.

It’s simple.

It’s baseball.

It’s America!

Lawsuits are just as easy as baseball, once you see them with the explanations and examples the course provides.

Not many people know how simple lawsuits really are. My profession has kept this knowledge secret from you on purpose!

It shouldn’t be that way!

Now YOU can know how to win … with or without a lawyer!

Future of Legal Education

21 Apr

Last week I was privileged to attend a Conference on the Future of Education, sponsored by New York Law School and Harvard Law School. This conference was the third in a series on this subject. The purpose of this conference is to initiate a conversation among and between law schools on how to make legal education better, cheaper, and faster, as Dean of New York Law School, Richard Matasar frames the issue. Personally, I think that Matasar’s presentation on the problems and prospects for legal education was the best that I have ever heard.

The format for the conference was a series of presentations of very inventive proposals presented by teams of legal educators and other legal specialists, mostly academics, 12 teams in all.

As participants, we each had $1,000,000 to spend as if we were venture capitalist’s listening to start-up pitches.

The team that I was part of actually won the competition, by receiving the most "venture capital" dollars. Credit goes to  Ron Staudt from Chicago-Kent Law School and Marc Lauritsen from Capstone Practice who did the heavy lifting on developing the proposal. The proposed project called for law students in clinical programs to be engaged in the development of "Apps for Justice" that could be used by legal service programs to provide tools for access to justice. The title of the project is "Learning Law by Creating Software"  Click here for a copy of the proposal.

Applications for the James Keane Award for Excellence in eLawyering Are Still Open.

20 Jan

The eLawyering Task Force of the Law Practice Management Section of the ABA is seeking recommendations and applications for the James Keane Award for Excellence in eLawyering which is awarded annually at ABA Tech Show in Chicago ( April 11-13, 2011). This will be the fourth year that the Award has been made. Previous award winners include Stephanie Kimbro for her work in creating the virtual law firm of KimbroLaw and Lee Rosen of the The Rosen Law Firm (both coincidentally located in North Carolina).

The purpose of this Award is to give recognition to law offices that have developed legal service innovations that are delivered over the Internet. The focus of the Award is on the innovative delivery of personal legal services, with special attention given to firms and entities that serve both moderate income individuals and the broad middle class. 

The Award is technology-focused, in the sense that the Award Committee is seeking innovations that demonstrate the concept of eLawyering – which can be  further defined as the delivery of online legal services. Examples of elawyering include the development of online web advisors, expert systems, innovative uses of web-enabled document automation, on-line client collaboration systems, and on-line dispute settlement systems, to name a few examples.

Nominees may be any individual lawyer, law firm or other deliverer of legal services to individuals within the United States.

The nominee can be a large or small law firm, public or private, or a legal services agency. More than one entry may be submitted, and the Task Force encourages self-nomination. The Application deadline has been extended to March 15, 2011.
