The third edition of Civil Procedure: A Context and Practice Casebook not only teaches students about civil procedure – it teaches them how to be successful in law school at the same time.

Each chapter begins with a problem that students should be able to analyze and resolve after completing the chapter. Additionally, there are questions before cases that are designed to encourage students to engage in active reading as they read cases, and there are problems at the end of every subject area that provide students with the opportunity to apply what they've learned to new fact patterns.

The book also contains guides to case reading and briefing, as well as to case synthesis, and has exercises on how to read code sections as well. Graphics and visual aids are included to explain concepts, demonstrate processes, and emphasize relationships between concepts.

The new edition is thoroughly revised and updated to facilitate effective teaching and student learning. New principal cases illustrate current developments in personal jurisdiction and pretrial motion practice, while each chapter includes new and revised notes and exercises.

A comprehensive Teacher's Manual offers practice quizzes and exams that can be used by professors to assess student learning. Teaching methods and pedagogy are discussed, as are the exercises and problems from the book.

This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.
