Litigation

Litigation encompasses our formal court-based dispute resolution processes.

From honing your skills in legal strategy to mastering effective courtroom advocacy, OU Law’s litigation concentration provides the fundamentals for those pursuing a career in the courtroom. Learn the intricacies of pre-trial practice, courtroom trials, and post-trial and appellate practice for civil and criminal disputes.

Courses

While many practicing lawyers do not regularly engage in litigation, it is the primary, formal conflict resolution process for disputes arising under all law areas. OU Law’s curriculum prepares you to litigate by offering classes in all substantive law fields, including litigation-specific classes.

In addition to the traditional classroom experience, you will experience various simulation courses such as Civil Pre-Trial Litigation, Trial Techniques, Civil Appellate Procedure, and Alternate Dispute Resolution. The litigation curriculum culminates in our live-client Civil Clinic and Criminal Defense Clinic classes.
