This lecture provides a thorough overview of the concluding phases of federal civil litigation, starting with the fundamental right to a jury trial and the selection process. It then details the structured progression of a trial, including opening statements, presentation of evidence, closing arguments, and jury instructions. The lecture further explains post-trial motions, such as judgments as a matter of law and requests for a new trial, which serve as critical checks on trial outcomes. Finally, it examines the appellate process, covering jurisdictional aspects, filing procedures, standards of review, and the preclusive effects of judgments.
