This is part 1 of 3.
The pleadings frame an employment case. In some cases, they can even be outcome determinative. When there is a choice of forum, what should each side consider in deciding on state court, federal court or arbitration? Which causes of action do employee lawyers often forget? Should the complaint be general or detailed? What factors should employer lawyers consider in deciding whether to file a demurrer, a FRCP 12(b)(6) motion, or a motion to strike? What should employers include, and not include, in the answer? Are cross complaints ever a good idea? These topics and more will be explored in depth.

Speakers: Christina Cheung and Daniel L. Gonzalez
