Summary

Civil Procedure: Cases, Text, Notes and Problems is designed for use in law school courses on Civil Procedure. This casebook begins with a comprehensive overview, followed by in-depth topical coverage. Its extensive textual discussion¿along with the cases, notes, questions, and problems¿ helps students develop rapid comprehension of the subject. The problems throughout the casebook present students with the opportunity to apply the legal rules and policies studied in the previous materials in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts. This innovative approach provides both efficient and effective coverage of all the major areas of civil procedure, even in courses with reduced hours of credit. The 2008 second edition fully incorporates the new ¿re-styled¿ Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the latest ¿e-discovery¿ amendments, and the most recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Grable, Exxon Mobil, and Bell Atlantic.
