Civil Procedure: Cases, Problems and Exercises (American Casebook Series)

By John T. Cross, Leslie W. Abramson, Ellen E. Deason, et al.

This book differs from other Civil Procedure casebooks in several ways. The most and most significant is that it is structured around an extensive set of problems and exercises. This approach helps students become accustomed to reading and using the rule itself, rather than relying on a court's paraphrasing of that rule. Second, the book whenever possible uses cases decided in the last decade, underscoring that Procedure is a subject in constant flux. Finally, it is one of the very first to incorporate the 2007 complete rewrite of the Federal Rules. All of these materials are supplemented by extensive notes. The overall result is book that is very teachable, as well as a useful desk reference.
