Pleading Your Case is your first step towards crafting a complaint or response that effectively tells your client's story.

When you think of pleading your client's case, you undoubtedly envision delivering a stirring oral argument in front of a judge or a jury. While that is certainly the endgame in litigation, it is not the beginning. In Pleading Your Case, author Janet Kole offers new and experienced litigators step-by-step advice through the phases of drafting a complaint or response and provides helpful tips and strategies to make your pleadings more effective. Pleadings do not need to be dry. They can and should convey your fervent belief in your client's cause. This book shows you how to accomplish that.
