Civil Procedure 2011: A Coursebook

This innovative casebook, written by an outstanding team of Civil Procedure scholars and teachers, is more informative, transparent, and accessible than a typical casebook. For example, Civil Procedure provides an introduction to each case to help students understand the context for the opinion and to flag important issues to look for while reading the case. After each case, the book provides textual materials and questions, but, unconventionally, the book answers almost all of the questions that are posed. The book has short chapters of manageable scope and uses a different font and a shaded border for the text of opinions. The book also includes multiple choice questions to test students understanding of new concepts followed by an analysis. Each chapter ends with a summary of key concepts. The book also has a companion website and a Rules Supplement. This casebook aims to be approachable and accessible for students and professors alike. Characteristics that take it out of the realm of typical casebooks
