Procedure

Procedure is courts, deadlines and stages that must go in the right order. Lumi quizzes you on the sequence until you can run through it in one go.

How to turn this subject into cards

Make one note per stage of a lawsuit, with the court, the motion or filing, the timing and the effect. Quiz yourself on the order of stages and on what each motion asks for. The trap is knowing the terms without knowing which court hears what. Lumi helps you retain jurisdiction rules, names of motions and the sequence.
