Authored by Robert B. Hille, Esq. and written for both dedicated trial lawyers as well as occasional civil practitioners, LexisNexis Practice Guide New Jersey Pleadings provides quick, direct, New Jersey-specific answers to questions that arise in day-to-day practice. Topically organized, the LexisNexis Practice Guide New Jersey Pleadings covers a broad range of civil practice issues and takes a task-oriented approach to each subject via action-oriented section headings (e.g., “Satisfying Requirements for Issuance of Summons and Service of Summons and Complaint” and “Determining Whether Action in Lieu of Prerogative Writs May Be Brought”) and multiple checklists for each chapter that guide the user through each step of a task. It covers important topics related to pleadings, including commencement of action complaint, joinder, intervention and interpleader, satisfying requirements of service, responsive pleadings and affirmative defenses, filing motions in lieu of answer and other preliminary motions, filing and serving amended and supplemental pleadings, complying with provisional remedies, final remedies and special proceedings requirements, foreclosures, summary actions, actions in lieu of prerogative writs, and civil commitment. It includes more than 175 practice tips (Warning, Strategic Point, Exception, Timing) to ensure best practices and to help the attorney avoid potential practice pitfalls. A forms appendix contains more than 250 practice forms that are readily downloadable from the New Jersey Online Forms.
