The focus of this course will be the interpretation and application of those rules in the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure that civil litigators regularly encounter in their practice. Special attention will be paid during the course to the most recent decisions by the Alabama Supreme Court and the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals addressing civil procedure issues. As time permits during the semester, we may discuss some specific procedural aspects of particular kinds of civil lawsuits, such as wrongful death actions and workers’ compensation case.
