Introduction
to Paralegal
Studies
Chapter
12
| Chapter 12 focuses on procedures used to initiate a lawsuit, as well as, those leading up to the trial. In a previous chapter, you studied the concept of jurisdiction and how it applied to various types of cases. You also learned the various types of jurisdiction including Federal, State, Personal, Subject Matter, etc. You will need to review that material before you begin the last three chapters of the course. If you don't it will make your work that much harder. Remember your manuals need to be updated and this review should help with updating your previous work product. You will continue your study of this material in LGS 253 Business Law I and in more depth in LGS 170 Civil Procedure. |
