The book contains over 275 pages of helpful practice hints for new and seasoned attorneys alike. Many claim that Young’s Checklist belongs in every litigator’s library.

“An essential guide to state court practice for the newly admitted Nevada lawyer, and insight of traps-for-the-unwary for all other lawyers, Jay Young’s new checklist for state court litigation goes beyond expectations by offering helpful examples of the documents a lawyer needs to create the client relationship through the conclusion of a litigation matter,”
