Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure

This law school casebook covers important developments in several areas of civil procedure, and incorporates comments from users of previous editions. Significant changes have been made in the materials on class actions and alternative dispute resolution. The authors have looked for modern cases in which the facts are interesting, in which the conflicting policies seem to be in state of equilibrium, or in which the context has extrinsic fascination, rather than for cases in which the opinions offer tight little monographs on various aspects of procedure. The authors have concentrated on the operation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
