Commentary

In legal contexts, curricula vitae are distinct from resumes in their comprehensive nature and are often submitted to demonstrate expertise or background in litigation or legal proceedings.

Nothing herein constitutes legal advice or creates a lawyer-client relationship. Users should consult qualified counsel for advice on specific matters or jurisdictions.
