Civil Dispute Consultants (CDC) is preparing to launch its initial programs for 2026. These virtual courses include sessions dealing with understanding the mechanics of collection practices, managing the various stages of civil (monetary) debt disputes, and factors affecting debt resolution, including potential or actual (in-progress) litigation.

A separate course will introduce the basics of civil litigation, including a breakdown of the various stages of a lawsuit from the initial filing to the conclusion of the dispute. You will learn the structure and purpose of the lawsuit (the Complaint); types of responses which are available; discovery (oral and written); what are called “dispositive motions” (such as motions for summary judgment); Mediation and arbitration; trial; post-trial filings; and appeals.

The course is scheduled to take approximately ninety (90) minutes and will include outlines to be provided to each participant. Time will be allotted for “Q&A” at the conclusion of the program.

The cost of the course is $195.00, which can be paid in parts so long as the full payment is made 5 calendar days before the date of the course presentation. Two sessions of the course will be offered live on the same day at different times to make the course conveniently available to participants in different time zones.

A course outline and application will be posted shortly. Inquiries may be made to Jeff Barnes, jeff@civildisputeconsultants.com.
