Materials for a Basic Course in Civil ProcedureThe most respected casebook on the subject, this sophisticated classic provides a fairly detailed overview and then in-depth coverage of the major problem areas, giving law students a solid and complete grounding. Retaining prior editions' range and depth of coverage, while undergoing a thorough rewriting to make it ever more smooth and logical, the tenth edition covers such major new cases as Tombly and Iqbal, and it fully incorporates the new rules of December 2009. This versatile coursebook can serve the most profound civil procedure course as well as a modern compact course with as few as three semester hours--thanks to its flexible structure, it fosters diverse teaching methods. |
