Years ago, NCLEJ was tasked with rescuing and preserving this resource for the legal community, and we are delighted to make our revised edition available in a modern digital format to all.
The Manual offers a framework to guide public interest lawyers in their federal litigation, and covers a wide range of topics including:
Strategic factors to consider in preparing a lawsuit
Litigation tactics and practice tips for both novice and seasoned practitioners
Constitutional and statutory requirements of federal jurisdiction
Barriers encountered in seeking federal jurisdiction
P.S. The work of public interest lawyers to fight for marginalized people is more important than ever. If you are not a member of the legal community but would like to support our efforts to advocate for low-income people, you can help by making a charitable donation today. We have invested considerable time and resources to revive and republish the Federal Practice Manual, and your donation will make sure we can continue to provide this critical resource to the legal community.
