Renahan will provide a crash course on civil lawsuits, and explain the process of filing and responding to civil complaints. La Plata Branch -

William F. Renahan from the Law Offices of William F. Renahan will provide a crash course on civil lawsuits, and explain the process of filing and responding to civil complaints.

A civil lawsuit starts with the filing and service of a written complaint; the defendant must then file an answer or other response. These are called pleadings, and they set the stage for all that comes afterward in the lawsuit. In this class, learn how to prepare, file, serve, and respond to civil case pleadings in Maryland.

This program will discuss:

  • Is filing a lawsuit a good idea?
  • Identifying possible legal theories
  • Drafting the complaint
  • Service of summons and complaint
  • Answers and other responsive pleadings

This program is in partnership with the Charles County Bar Association.
