"My LitigationReady!™ trial notebook index tabbed system with copyrighted trial forms and checklists gives you a head start in a trial.

Having a battle-tested system is the key to confidence and in the entire discovery / deposition / litigation / settlement / trial race. "

The reason attorneys miss deadlines or miss obtaining discovery opportunities or miss presenting information at trial is simple:

They are not organized.

Start your deposition or trial preparation by using single checklists and forms.  Get litigation, deposition and trial prep done faster and easier.  Use prepackaged forms to start your thinking and work.

Be better organized than your opponent.  Your trial notebook should be a part of your system for organizing the case from the first day the client signs the retainer agreement.  And you need to use deposition and trial checklists to move quickly without forgetting essentials.

Yes, we have individual legal forms for depositions and trials.  I'll tell you about those in a minute, but first let's look at a bundled system.   The word "system" is the key!

Get the benefit of a total system --- a senior trial attorney's experience delivered to you in a system of forms and advice on how to proceed. Lawyer Trial Forms™ copyrighted  forms give you the benefit of past experience of great trial lawyers.  We have bundled several of our basic forms with the pages of text in our trial notebook system, called LitigationReady™.

Litigation is a deadline and information business. The obvious deadline is the statute of limitations, but there are plenty of other deadlines that trial lawyers miss: deadlines to file motions; deadlines to take discovery; deadlines to file appeals.

The obvious information you need to present to others is your client's story. But there is plenty of other information you need to present to the other side and to the judge and jury.  What scares a lawyer the most is getting buried in unorganized information and then  -- forgetting to ask the critical question or introduce the critical evidence at trial, or just not getting an item you needed for trial.

I said this before, but it bears repeating.  It is important. "The reason attorneys miss deadlines or miss obtaining or presenting information at trial is simple:

They are not organized."

You have to be disciplined about deadlines and information ---  disciplined and organized.

Lawyers make mistakes because they're not organized. They keep putting things to the back of their desk, maybe they don't put a piece of paper in the right file, and they don't have an action to-do list.  

LitigationReady!™ solves those problems --- it puts lawyers on an auto-pilot system to stay organized.  It has standard operating procedures (the SOP) integrated with checklist forms you can use, now.  Click Here to find out more about LitigationReady!™, a trial notebook system with its integrated bundle of forms and SOP's.

Now let's talk about individual forms.  "Deposition checklists are "not just for depositions any more".  They are equally helpful in building your cross-examination questions for trial, or preparing your witness for the cross exam from the other side. Maybe  you do not have our trial notebook system (which contains many of our forms), or you want just one form, or a form not in the trial notebook system. Here are some examples of our individual deposition and trial forms.

Every attorney needs ready at hand a Expert Opinion Admissibility Checklist - from our Expert Series of litigation aids.
