What is a civil litigation attorney?

A civil litigation attorney is a lawyer who specializes in civil trial law. In this career, your job duties are to build a case that seeks monetary damages rather than criminal prosecution and prosecute the case in court. You also file pre-trial casework, oversee depositions, and you may facilitate legal arbitration between the two parties rather than seek a trial. The qualifications for this career include negotiation skills, experience in the courtroom, and a law degree. You must be a member of the bar association in your state and have an excellent grasp of civil law.
