Being a party in a lawsuit is a frightening experience, whether you are suing or being sued. It is like traveling through a foreign country where you can neither speak the language nor understand the customs. You have to rely entirely on your guide. Would you not like to have a guide to the language and customs of this foreign land? That would reduce your dependence on your guide, not eliminate it but make the trip less frightening and more enjoyable. This book is intended to help you understand the foreign world of litigation. Written by a native of that foreign land, it will help you understand the language and the customs of the world of the courtroom. It lets you understand what the lawyer for the other side is trying to do and why. It gives you an understanding of what your lawyer should be doing and why. It is not a replacement for your lawyer, just a guide to help you understand what happens in the process of preparing for a trial and in the trial itself.
