A Documentary Companion to a Civil Action: Wi Notes, Comments, and Questions

This documentary supplement contains official documents from Anderson v. Cryovac, the toxic tort case portrayed in Jonathan Harr's bestseller, A Civil Action. Use the supplement in conjunction with Harr's book and any first-year civil procedure casebook or as the text for an advanced litigation class. Content is arranged topically to take students through an actual litigation process from start to finish, from setting the litigation to pretrial process and trial and post-trial motions. The authors, who extensively interviewed the lawyers involved, provide notes, commentary, and analysis of, as well as thought-provoking questions about, the legal, tactical, and ethical issues.
