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.
