Synopsis

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.

From the Back Cover

From the introductions to A Documentary Companion to A Civil Action "A Civil Action and A Documentary Companion taken together offer...the fullest opportunity to render your own judgment about the merits of the case itself and how well or poorly the civil justice system dealt with it." Jonathan Harr, author of A Civil Action "You have the benefit of Jonathan Harr's brilliant portrayal in A Civil Action of the human drama of this litigation. You now have, thanks to the work of Professors Grossman and Vaughn, a unique opportunity to examine firsthand the legal implements we wielded. You can judge for yourself how effective they were in resolving that conflict." Jan Richard Schlictmann, attorney for the plaintiffs
