A politically insulated judiciary and expedited trial schedules make the federal system a (generally) fair and (usually) fast method of resolving disputes.

I. Understand when a case can be filed in (or removed to) Federal Court (federal question and diversity jurisdiction)

II. Grasp the basics and background of federal pleading practice:

Pleading facts following the Ashcroft case
attacking Article III jurisdiction
facial vs. factual attacks on pleadings

III. Gain familiarity with federal discovery rules

IV. Navigate the phases of a scheduling order from Rule 26 conference through trial
