Best sources for deposition questions
 and outline forms
 for lawyers and legal assistants

"Making Good Lawyers Better" ™ 

We believe that good litigation attorneys want to be efficient, and those attorneys are the ones that go to the Lawyer Trial Forms ( www.LawyerTrialForms.com ™) site. The intention is to bring attorneys a packaged advisor and senior partner coach. Although the original assumption was that lawyers in small firm practices would most appreciate this type of assistance, it has been found that today's younger lawyers in even large firms find it difficult to have senior mentors within their firm who have actually tried many cases and have experience to share.

Depositions are a key element in litigation.  A separate website at Lawyer-deposition-forms.com specializes in deposition checklists and forms.  Lawyer Deposition Forms also is known by its trade name of DepoForm™.  Among the sites selling Bucklin's forms, DepoForm™ is a specialist organization for legal forms involving depositions. The DepoForm™ site has the largest catalog listing of deposition outlines and deposition checklists (including witness preparation). Go to the Product Catalog Page of Lawyer Deposition Forms

LawyerTrialForms™, is the umbrella site for Bucklin's publications. This site has the largest catalog listing of litigation systems and forms of all the sites that sell his forms.   The site sells a trial notebook, deposition questions checklists, trial outlines, and various attorney litigation legal forms. The trademarked slogan of LawyerTrialForms™ is:

A good trial notebook focuses on the overall handling of litigation, from start to finish. A trial notebook is not just for trials anymore!  A trial notebook is a proven way to organize the entire process of handling litigation.  Discovery is easier and more organized. Depositions run smoother and with less wasted time in preparation.  Settlement in alternative dispute forums have more order and hence more power. Trial preparation takes less time because of the orderly preservation of materials as the case progresses.  The Trial Notebooks site has the information about trial notebooks, including questions checklists and forms and articles contained in that litigation system. The purpose of the trial notebook system is to win cases by being organized, and doing the organization in a time efficient manner.  The trial notebook system is the subject of the compact and immediately delivered e-book sold at TrialNotebooks and also the subject of a more extensive, traditional hard copy, book set, Building Trial Notebooks, which is shipped with a loose leaf binder ready to use, sold by James Publishing, an independent publisher.

LawyerLitigationForms™  is about the techniques which can be used in the adversarial settlement of lawsuits.  About 90% of cases in litigation are settled cases by a process of negotiation, but only after major witnesses and the parties have testified in depositions.  This site will become in the future the primary place for Bucklin's settlement related forms for litigation, reports and checklists, including Settlement Toolbox™.  The site is not yet active, but will be by the end of this calendar year.

The over-all umbrella organization for all of Bucklin's enterprises is Bucklin Of Counsel. (BOC).  BOC is a legal malpractice expert witness and ethics consulting firm. BOC is also the site for various journal (legal, business, history, ethics) articles.  It is the home site for Leonard Bucklin for his work as a legal malpractice expert.  Part of that work is constant observance of how lawyers work.  Bucklin's conclusion is that lawyers who are organized and use systems are the ones who make money and make clients happy.
