Context you provide

• {{legal_process}}: A specific legal process to cover in depth (e.g., civil litigation, contract formation).
• {{learning_objectives}}: What participants should be able to do after the course (e.g., understand key terms, navigate court procedures).

Instructions

2. Outline a crash course structure with modules covering fundamental legal concepts, terminology, and the specified legal process.
3. For each module, include clear explanations, practical examples, and analogies to make the content relatable.
