Litigation Training Your Associates Need

  • Law school + the early years of practice DO NOT teach Associates how a dispute unfolds.

  • It falls to law firms to train your Associates to move a case forward from first client call to Supreme Court.

  • To master the litigation life cycle, Associates need more than skills training (like deposition or trial simulations) or single subject courses (like motions to dismiss or for summary judgment).

Element Standard Introduces Litigation Cartography™

Litigation Cartography™ rationalizes the process of litigation by reimagining the learning process from a daunting mystery into a clear, manageable map. This course was specifically designed to provide Associates, especially those in the initial stages of their careers, with a deep, actionable understanding of the entire litigation journey, from the initial conflict check through to the final appeal at the Supreme Court.
