About This Course
Small Claims and Special Civil practice provides a practical proving ground for lawyers seeking to strengthen their courtroom capabilities. This CLE program explores how working within streamlined civil dockets allows practitioners to develop disciplined litigation habits that carry over to more complex and higher-exposure cases.
The course emphasizes transferable advocacy skills—case assessment, drafting and responding to pleadings, motion argument, evidentiary foundations, witness examination, and procedural navigation within the governing court rules. By engaging directly with civil procedure in their jurisdiction, attorneys will build fluency, strategic judgment, and the professional confidence necessary to handle larger civil disputes effectively.
