Clear coverage of Civil Procedure concepts

CivPro is notoriously the most difficult first-year course. F & P, while not simplifying the material, does help make the material more comprehensible. The authors use a socratic method in the casebook. If you read the case and work through the questions after the case, you should have a pretty good understanding of the case and why the authors included it. They also, and this will kill some who read it unknowingly and skip over notes habitually, hide a LOT of really good info (terrific testbait) in their NOTES. Read the notes. Digest the notes. Learn the notes. Get a decent grade in CivPro.
