Guide & Templates
No one taught us how to organize our litigation files in law school. And that's wild given:
- They help us get clear on our case's underlying facts, law, and deadlines, which frees up our brains to bring their intellectual and creative A-game when it comes to case strategy;
Since no one taught us how to keep our case files organized in law school, and, years ago, as a first-year associate buried under complaints and produced documents, I came up empty-handed after Googling around for answers...
- When a client calls or a colleague swings by, organized case files make sure we have critical case information at our fingertips; and
- They help clarify our game plan for our cases in a way that will significantly reduce stress and ups our confidence.
Here's the guide I wish had existed then.
This method will help you organize commercial litigation and patent litigation case files. It’s derived from my 5+ years of practicing IP and general commercial litigation at firms in Boston and California.
My goal is to pass on my tried-and-true method to you so it can serve you for years to come. It will help you hit the ground running in any civil litigation matter.
