About the Course

Civil litigation is undergoing a significant transformation. From drafting pleadings and filing suits to presenting evidence, advancing arguments and executing decrees, technology is increasingly influencing how civil cases are conducted.

For today's legal professionals, a sound understanding of the Code of Civil Procedure is essential. Equally important is the ability to appreciate how digital platforms, electronic records and emerging AI tools can support effective litigation practice.

Live Law Academy presents Smart Civil Litigation: CPC, Digital Tools & Courtroom Practice, a specially designed programme that bridges the gap between procedural law and its practical application in the modern courtroom.

Alongside this comprehensive exploration of the CPC, the programme examines technological tools relevant to civil practice, including digital documentation, electronic filing and service, online hearings, digital presentation of arguments and the responsible use of artificial intelligence in legal work.

The objective is to equip participants with a structured understanding of civil procedure and its application to contemporary litigation practice.

Civil Litigation Demands More Than Knowledge of Procedure.

Knowing the provisions of the CPC is one thing. Understanding how those provisions operate throughout the life of a civil dispute is another. This programme brings together three essential dimensions of modern civil litigation:

1.

Understanding the CPC

Develop a systematic understanding of the procedural framework governing civil suits, from the institution of proceedings to execution and appeals.

2.

Applying Procedure in Court

Examine the practical significance of pleadings, jurisdiction, discovery, examination of witnesses, interim orders, decrees and procedural remedies.

3.

Embracing Technology in Litigation

Explore how digital tools and emerging AI applications can assist with document preparation, case management, legal research, evidence presentation and other aspects of civil practice.
