What Is Litigation Law?
Litigation law is the process of resolving disputes through the formal court system, involving filing lawsuits, exchanging information (discovery), arguing in court (trial), and potentially appealing, covering both civil (e.g., contract breaches, personal injury) and criminal matters, though often used for civil cases. Litigation lawyers, or trial lawyers, guide clients through these stages, aiming for favorable outcomes, often starting with settlement negotiations before a judge or jury makes a binding decision.
Key Aspects of Litigation Law
- Process: It's a structured legal process from initial complaint to final judgment, governed by rules like the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
- Parties: Involves a plaintiff (who brings the case) and a defendant (who defends against the claim).
- Types of Cases: Encompasses contract disputes, business issues, personal injury, family law, intellectual property, and criminal matters.
Litigation vs. Lawsuit
- A lawsuit is a formal complaint, a part of litigation.
- Litigation is the broader process, much of which (like discovery) happens before a case reaches a courtroom.
