AFFIRMATIVE LITIGATION


Affirmative Litigation, offered through a combination of web-based and in-person learning activities, provides a comprehensive introduction to the process of prosecuting a complex affirmative case in federal or state court. It includes a mix of interactive sessions, webinars and multi-media lectures on the substantive law of claim justiciability, as well as practical exercises on discovery, complaint drafting, motion practice and emergency relief. Together, these elements and the course as a whole, provide a solid foundation for strengthening legal aid practice and moving our community toward a renewed focus on high impact, change oriented advocacy. It incorporates three weeks of web-based activities plus four days in-person.Learn more about Affirmative Litigation in action through our recent experience in Missouri and Illinois.
