Product Review

This casebook is the concise, and very modern, version of a classic civil procedure casebook. The key to its brevity is its tight, systematic survey of the subject in Part One. In 265 pages, the survey progresses from pretrial and settlement to trial, judgment, appeal, jurisdiction, and complex litigation. This coverage leaves time for in-depth treatment of a few selected problem areas regarding the system€s fundamental structure in Parts Two, Three, and Four. The eleventh edition covers major new cases on personal jurisdiction, and it fully incorporates the new Federal Courts Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act.
