Mistakes happen in the course of a civil lawsuit. For example, a defendant may fail to respond to a lawsuit within the required time, resulting in a “default,” which terminates the rights of the defendant to dispute the allegations. Or, a plaintiff may fail to respond to a defense motion, resulting in dismissal of the lawsuit. In this class, learn how to get back on track by asking a judge to “set aside” (vacate or undo) defaults and other mistakes in California state courts.


Class covers:

· California Code of Civil Procedure § 473: what it is, and why you need it

· When and how a party may seek relief from his or her mistakes

· What constitutes “default” and “dismissal,” and what may be “set aside”

· Preparing a motion to vacate default

Class approved for Court Interpreter Minimum Continuing Education (CIMCE) credit.
