Personal Injury Attorneys
Personal Injury Attorneys deal with a specific type of Civil Litigation cases, namely those involving physical injury or emotional harm to the damaged party. Due to the large number of Personal Injury cases and the relatively large settlement amounts that are involved, many Personal Injury attorneys restrict their practice to this very specific field of Civil Litigation, while others may practice in related areas such as Employment Law.
Divorce and Family Attorneys
While some aspects of Divorce and Family Law do not involve Civil Litigation, Divorce itself is a specific form of Civil Litigation. Due to the large number of Divorce cases and the nuances involved, many Family and Divorce attorneys do not handle Civil Litigation cases that fall outside their realm of expertise, while others may practice in related areas such as Employment Law.
Employment Attorneys (Wrongful Dismissal Attorneys)
While some aspects of Employment Law do not involve Civil Litigation, Wrongful Dismissal itself is a specific form of Civil Litigation. Employment Attorneys may also practice in related areas of Civil Litigation such as Divorce and Family Law, or Personal Injury Law.

In such cases there is overlap between our Wills & Estates Attorneys category and our Civil Litigation Attorneys category, and you may wish to contact lawyers in both categories to determine the best course of action depending on the nature of the dispute.

Cop gets two months for shooting trainee during an exercise
Posted Dec 17, 2013 on www.baltimoresun.com William S. Kern, a Baltimore Police instructor, was handed a 60-day jail stay, for shooting Raymond Gray, a police recruit, while they were doing exercises. Kern, who has been in service for 19 years, told the court during his trial that he had brought a live gun to the exercises and he had accidentally used it instead of the training weapon. Gray was hit in the head and was blinded in one eye when Kern fired his gun through the window to show the recruits the danger of lingering near the door, the window or the hallway. Kern said that he brought his gun to the training for the safety of the recruits because the facility where they were having their exercises is not secure. Baltimore defense attorney Shaun F. Owens had argued for Kern's release saying that his client's eventual dismissal from the service would already be enough of a punishment. Kern is on a 60-day suspension while the Baltimore Police conducts an investigation within its ranks. Gray's family, who expressed dissatisfaction with the sentence, has also filed a civil lawsuit in relation to the incident and is being represented by Baltimore litigator A. Dwight Pettit.
