Complex Litigation

This text comprehensively treats all aspects of the complex litigation process ― from CAFA to the ALI Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation, from Internet personal jurisdiction to electronic discovery, and more. The text devotes attention to important and often neglected structural issues, including personal and subject matter jurisdiction, choice of law, mechanisms for coordinating overlapping federal and state litigation, and preclusion. It discusses the real-world conduct, management, and control of the pretrial and discovery process that characterizes complex cases, as well as trends and emerging legal doctrine that have promoted and facilitated the disposition of complex cases without trial.
