For the project, you will study the Acme Corporation case and organize a trial notebook. A trial notebook is an outline that a trial attorney will follow during a trial. It contains case pleadings, motions, pre-trial orders, subpoenas, copies of the deposition transcripts that will be used at the trial, copies of documentary evidence, trial briefs and proposed jury instructions. You will put together a trial notebook using all the documents drafted for the project in each week and submit it in Week 4. Review the Acme Corporation case scenario.
In Week 1, the litigation partner has discussed with you, a paralegal, that the wrongful conduct of Acme Corporation has harmed many people. She asks you to prepare a complaint against Acme Corporation. Review the sample federal class action complaint.
Using the federal civil action complaint template, prepare a class action complaint against Acme Corporation. On a separate page, cite all sources using the Bluebook format.
