- Develop scenarios involving tools such as e-discovery platforms (Relativity, Everlaw), litigation management software, and deposition/trial preparation tools used on major matters.
- Apply litigation methodologies (case strategy development, discovery and evidence analysis, motion drafting) to the standards track a world targets (US: FRCP, Federal Rules of Evidence, state court rules; International: CPR, international arbitration rules), and produce reference pleadings, discovery responses, motions, and trial memoranda.
- Author rubrics that distinguish authentic litigation judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.
