Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure

The seventh edition of Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure is updated to reflect recent changes in procedural rules and practice. While essentially a traditional casebook organized along the lines of the events in a lawsuit, this edition retains the unique features that have made prior editions a success, including  Chapter Summary Problems—optional comprehensive problems requiring the student to "put the chapter together" and apply to the problems the material addressed in the chapter;  "Improving the System" sections challenging students to think more deeply about cutting-edge issues; Litigation documents showing actual litigation sequences;  "How to Read This Case" notes preceding particularly difficult cases; and A chapter devoted to Alternative Dispute Resolution methods. Some materials in this edition have been rearranged for ease of use. Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure is supplemented annually and a comprehensive Teacher's Manual is available to professors.
