Civil Procedure, Cases and Materials, Compact for Shorter Courses

Civil Procedure, Cases and Materials, Compact for Shorter Courses Synopsis

This compact eleventh edition of the popular casebook is designed for three- or four-credit civil procedure courses. It provides a framework for studying both the essential and the cutting-edge issues of civil procedure, while incorporating problems that test doctrinal understanding, foster case reading skills, and encourage a sense of litigation strategy. New Supreme Court cases have been integrated that impact critical areas of the curriculum. The casebook covers all of the major topics that a professor might wish to teach in a one-semester course of varied practical or theoretical emphases. A supplement provides important teaching material, including all updated Federal Rules, the pleadings in Twombly and Iqbal, and state materials.
