Civil Procedure: Doctrine, Practice, and Context, Fourth Edition

by Stephen N. Subrin, Stephen N. Subrin, Martha Minow

The fourth edition, written by respected scholars and experienced educators, includes both classic and new materials. The book presents traditional topics in historical and empirical context, and it adds new and provocative materials as well as relevant theoretical and background readings. The procedural and nonprocedural aspects of the cases are thought-provoking, to hold students' interest. Each chapter contains a well-written introduction, cases, and clear explanations of the doctrine, supported by comments and questions which deepen students' understanding and clarify key concepts. The book includes more than forty well-crafted problems (both for class use and review) to help students solidify their understanding of the materials either in class or as out-of-class assignments. In-class exercises and simulations based on two sample case files are integrated throughout. Pleadings, memoranda, transcripts, exhibits, motions, and more--all taken from real cases--appear in the Appendix. Civil Procedure: Doctrine, Practice, and Context consistently emphasizes the skills and values of lawyering as it offers a consideration of social responsibility. At approximately 1,300 pages, it is designed for civil procedure courses of any length. The Fourth Edition has been updated throughout.

This book made me very sad and stressed. Probably my least favorite of the year. However the story about international shoe was very interesting. I will always do the shoe #richardfreer

Neff wins.

When does the government have power to adjudicate your disputes? This is a book about state-backed violence and funneling our messy world into a system that can make sense of a dispute and come to a conclusion both parties can abide by. A confusing, dense read, but rewarding if you stick it out.

Something about an international shoe and that’s about it.
