In this video, Sol lays out the basic structure of a lawsuit, from the initial filing of the facts and allegations to the subsequent settlement or trial. He covers the discovery process and how information is obtained by both sides in a case through subpoenas and depositions. What types of documents will the opposition want from you? How will the facts of the case be determined? What about facts in dispute?

Sol also addresses mediation and how that part of a lawsuit is done. What is the goal of mediation? Who is in charge for this procedure? How long does mediation last? With only about 5% of cases going all the way to trial, the mediation process is an important part of any lawsuit.
