Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compact second edition focuses on a select core canon of the leading cases in civil procedure, including concurring and dissenting opinions omitted in many other casebooks. The second edition has added recent Supreme Court decisions in personal jurisdiction and amendment of pleadings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, without adding length to the casebook. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been updated to include rule amendments effective since the first edition. The text is based on a 14-week curriculum, with 14 chapters that provide simple guidance for working through the course. It assembles the core cases, statutes, and rules that students and professors reasonably may study in four hours of class time, and offers substitute materials for alternative weeks.
