Its clear,
straightforward writing style continues to make Civil Procedure accessible to
students without oversimplifying the material it covers. An effective overview
of procedure gives students a working knowledge of the system and offers
techniques for statutory analysis. Civil Procedure's teachable structure
features a clear organization, concisely edited cases--carefully chosen for
first-year students--textual notes introducing and highlighting connections
between sections, and practical problems. The casebook's shorter length assures
that each class will completely cover the complex course material in limited
hours, and a flexible organization adapts to a variety of teaching approaches.
The Eighth
Edition introduces innovative new features that highlight important and
engaging material. ""What's New Here?"" boxes briefly
summarize key points emerging from cases, statutes, and rules.
""Implications"" boxes make brief statements about connections
and extensions of doctrine, aimed at answering the perennial question students
ask, ""How does this connect with the rest of the
course?""; ""Perspectives"" boxes provide short
explorations of cases' historical context and related developments, addressing
the query, ""What does it mean that this happened at this historical
moment?"" The material is updated throughout, and new material
appears on Erie, pleading, discovery, arbitration, preclusion, class actions,
and joinder. The Eighth Edition is available as an eBook as well as a print
book.
