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.

I’m counting this

[Shelby]

Disclaimer: This is 2/5 on the casebook scale, not to be compared to novels and non-casebooks that I read for joy (rather than for grades).

Pros:
- Not as long as it could have been, I guess
- It’s over now

Cons:
- DRY (it’s a dry topic but still)
- Fun cases were few and far between (again, the topic)

Note: I read the 13th edition, which is not yet available for review

Literally the worst thing I have ever read

[Fiona]

done for the term... and it feels correct

[William Snow]

Class taught by the author himself and the grandmaster of class actions, Arthur Miller….was kind of dope and analytically very challenging, but nice to steep super deeply in The Law (TM)

[julie seech]

another textbook i’m counting towards my reading goal

[Josie Wu]

ngl not my favorite read but SCOTUS opinions are always interesting

[Caroline Wolinsky]

Probably the most interesting one can make civil procedure.

[Michael I]

great casebook, but like all casebooks weakened because they don't tell you the law or give you practice

[Alan Edwards]

Pennoyer, whatever happened there

[Lucy]

It’s what you’d expect from a civ pro book… i learned a lot but it wasn’t my favorite textbook structure and setup but it’s over.

[Justin McAndrew]

Long live the erie doctrine that I might understand sort of
