Civil Procedure: Cases and Materials, 11th Edition

By John J. Cound, John E. Sexton, Jack H. Friedenthal

Book Overview

The Eleventh Edition of this popular casebook provides a framework for studying both the essential and the cutting-edge issues of civil procedure while incorporating problems that test doctrinal understanding, foster case reading skills, and encourage a sense of litigation strategy. New Supreme Court cases have been integrated that impact personal jurisdiction ( McIntyre, Goodyear ), subject-matter jurisdiction ( Grable, Gunn ), pleading ( Twombly, Iqbal ), joinder ( Pimentel ), class actions ( Dukes ), and other important topics, including statutory changes such as the Jurisdiction Clarification Act. The casebook covers all of the major topics that a professor might wish to teach in a first-year course, and can easily be adapted for courses of one- or two-semesters, of different credit hours, and with varied practical or theoretical emphases. A supplement includes all updated Federal Rules, the pleadings in Twombly and Iqbal , a model case file, state materials, and other important teaching tools.

As good a case book as any

Let's face it, Civ Pro is no picinic, but the notes will help you navigate the maze. They're worth reading.
