The Role of the Litigation Professional
The role of the civil litigation professional is challenging and diverse. Since civil litigation is an adversarial process, litigation attorneys and paralegals must be on their toes and prepared respond to actions undertaken by the opposing party and counsel.
The lifespan of a lawsuit can range from several months to several years. Complex civil litigation often takes years to from pre-suit investigation through settlement and/or trial.
Discovery is typically the longest and most labor-intensive part of civil litigation. Contrary to the image portrayed on television, civil litigators spend relatively little time in trial; most time is spent in the discovery stage of litigation and pre-trial preparation.
Unlike criminal prosecution, civil actions are brought in order to recover monetary damages or to recover a right. Civil litigation usually involves disputes of private law issues between individuals, businesses or non-profit organizations, and sometimes governmental entities.
