For the 2012 - 2013 program year, the Civil Litigation section held its Fundamental Sunrise Breakfast Series.
The first session was Pleadings and Facta.
Like a marriage, pleadings:
- provide a lasting foundation for your case.
- should follow the Rules but cannot be too rigid.
- require room to grow and change.
- should be built on honesty.
- require you to recognize and choose the best option(s).
- must accommodate alternative approaches.
- will be tried and tested, stressed, may cause one or both parties much frustration.
- must be tended to periodically after the honeymoon period.
