(PRWEB) October 06, 2017 -- The 15-volume treatise provides comprehensive guidance on all phases of commercial litigation, from the initial case assessment and prospects for trial and arbitration to pleading and discovery. In addition to Tom and Courtney’s section on expert witnesses, the treatise covers mainstay topics such as discovery, pleadings, venue, and jurisdiction. Other chapters include topics that have grown considerably in recent years such as social media, marketing to potential clients, mediation, and arbitration, among others.

The treatise breaks down the procedural steps in planning a case and provides attorneys with a method for conducting litigation risk analysis. It includes comprehensive checklists of allegations, defenses, and sources of proof to help attorneys plan discovery and evaluate a case as well as numerous jury charges and essential litigation forms.
Outstanding Reviews
The treatise and Tom and Courtney’s chapter have received a number of favorable reviews.

The treatise distinguishes itself from similar resources in at least two ways. First, it provides practical advice on all aspects of federal trials...Second, there are seven volumes addressing a broad variety of substantive areas of law.”
“...its depth and breadth of coverage on both procedural and substantive topics will allow you to become a more knowledgeable and efficient federal practitioner.” – John McEntee, Farrell Fritz, P.C.
