This book is essential for: personal injury litigators from both the plaintiff and defence bars.

Current to: February 2012

What every defence counsel needs to know and every plaintiff counsel should know!
Last published in 2009, this popular set of course materials is a review of important topics currently shaping personal injury practice. The book examines a broad spectrum of personal injury practice related issues including developments in the law, the duty of implied confidentiality, managing conflicts in personal injury claims, cost of care at trial, cross-examination on plaintiff's experts, the law of costs, and self-represented litigants in personal injury. The overall emphasis of the publication is on practical information: matters that are relevant to the “cut and thrust” of everyday PI practice.
