The Law of Pleadings Self-Directed Study Course – CLAIMS ONLY

NOTE: THIS COURSE IS FOR ADJUSTERS. IF YOU ARE NOT AN ADJUSTER, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT FOR TAKING THIS COURSE.

This course reviews the Law of Pleadings. Civil cases vary in nature, but they all have similar pleadings and motions. A pleading is the process of filing a document, while a motion is a request either party makes to a judge. In this course the student will study some of the most common pleadings and motions in any civil trial or case: complaint, answer, counterclaim, cross claim, pre trail motions, and post trial motions. We will also review the basic structure of pleadings. The course has numerous interesting and on-point case studies as underpinning of the legal doctrines studied.
