CASE MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
legal advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, case managementAbstract
this study examines key aspects of legal advocacy, focusing on the strategy’s attorneys use to plan and present their cases, as well as the preparation necessary for successful litigation. It highlights the importance of careful planning, such as determining the charges, analyzing disputed facts, and developing a working hypothesis to guide the case strategy. Essential concepts like crafting a case theory, organizing materials, and interviewing clients and witnesses are thoroughly discussed. The paper also covers best practices for advocacy, including maintaining checklists, setting priorities, and meeting deadlines. In the latter section, with a focus on arbitration in the case scenario, the discussion shifts to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), comparing methods such as mediation and arbitration.
