Knowing your case inside out: How to make litigating easier through case mapping

Few things are more gratifying to a litigator in a case than having a thoroughgoing command of both the facts and the law. But how do you achieve that level of mastery?

On July 8, Denver lawyers Andrew Lillie, Jessica Black Livingston, and Mark Gibson led a virtual presentation with the Faculty of Federal Advocates (FFA) that focused on tools to lawyers can use for both nailing the facts down cold and learning the corner of the law that your case involves backward and forward. The presentation also highlighted the benefits that flow from putting in this work to marry the facts and the law—such as better, more-precise discovery, easier motions practice, and crystal-clear thinking about witnesses and evidence needed for trial. Topics covered included:

• How to develop a thoroughgoing command of both the facts and the law in your case early in the proceedings—which will become your faithful guide from discovery through trial;
• How to create and use the tools you need to achieve that level of mastery, to nail the facts down cold and learn the corner of the law that your case involves backward and forward; and
• How to marry the facts and the law with precision and confidence—to unify your team around shared concepts, do better, more-focused discovery, make motions practice easier, and promote crystal-clear thinking about witnesses and evidence needed for trial.

FFA is a Colorado-based organization that is committed to improving the quality of legal practice in the federal courts in Colorado by enhancing advocacy skills, professionalism, and the integrity of practice.
