Features: This book is a training material for court staff at the Federal Judicial Center, consisting of written materials and a CD-ROM. It uses a model of a securities fraud case to provide a detailed introduction to the specific litigation process of civil cases in the U.S. federal district courts. In the written materials, readers can see the original and specific court documents—their litigation documents differ greatly from those in Chinese courts—while the CD-ROM vividly demonstrates the specific flow of the case through the court, including from the plaintiff filing the lawsuit to court investigation, arguments, and the final verdict. This set of materials includes three units: Unit 1: An Overview of the Federal Court System, Unit 2: Criminal Litigation Process in the Federal District Courts, Unit 3: Civil Litigation Process in the Federal District Courts. It not only helps Chinese judicial workers understand and observe the litigation procedures of the U.S. federal courts but also serves as an excellent reference for law school faculty and students to study and research litigation systems.
