The fourth edition of Civil Procedure: Cases, Text, Notes, and Problems continues to cover the full range of civil procedure topics, but it is specifically constructed to accommodate the demands presented by both three-credit as well as traditional five- and six-credit courses. The new edition carefully integrates both basic and more complex issues of federal and state civil procedure, presented in a user-friendly format. Throughout the book, explanatory text has been interwoven with illustrative cases, notes, questions, and figures to make the presentation of the material more efficient for the professor and more understandable for the student. As an additional teaching feature, the textbook contains over 250 carefully drafted problems following each topic section, designed to provide maximum teaching flexibility―enabling a professor to utilize the problems in each section to teach all or part of the material. The new edition also includes the latest decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court on subject-matter and personal jurisdiction, venue, the Erie doctrine, class actions, pleadings, joinder, and preclusion, and has been updated to reflect all current amendments of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and relevant federal statutes.
