Practical Law Dispute Resolution has published a suite of new resources that will be of interest to litigators (law firm and in-house) practising in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia:

• New South Wales: Trial practice and procedure.
• Victoria: Trial practice and procedure.
• Queensland: Trial practice and procedure.
• Western Australia: Trial practice and procedure.

These resources provide comprehensive guidance on trial practice and procedure in each jurisdiction, addressing the key considerations and practical steps to follow for setting a matter down for trial, preparing for and attending pre-trial case management hearings, communicating with the court and other parties, making interlocutory applications ahead of the hearing, preparing outlines of argument, submissions and lists of authorities, and preparing document bundles and court books.  They also provide detailed guidance on the mode and order of a final hearing and use of technology during the hearing in each jurisdiction.
