Abstract: "Most everything we do as attorneys can be reduced to a checklist-a series of steps that if followed will allow you to achieve a given legal task-interview a client, prepare a pleading, or defend a deposition. To ensure we dot all our i's and cross all our t's, we as lawyers should take the time to list all the tasks we do and reduce each of those tasks to a series of steps that if followed will accomplish those tasks effectively and efficiently. Here you will find all my checklists, every last one, that I rely upon when representing my clients. I hope you find them helpful and that you take the time to modify them (and add to them) as you find necessary for your unique practice"--
