Practice Guides

A practice guide is a book or manual that explains the specific procedures an attorney must follow in order to successfully represent a client. These guides often include checklists and sample pleadings and may also set forth the underlying substantive law.

Examples of practice guides are: – California Uninsured Motorist Practice, a step-by-step guide to personal injury in the state – California Automobile Insurance Law Guide, a comprehensive resource that covers insurance law and litigation and – California Government Tort Liability Practice, a practice guide for representing parties who have a claim against the government.
