A Short & Happy Guide to Civil Procedure

by Richard D. Freer

Of the first-year subjects, Civil Procedure is the most foreign to students’ experience. This book unlocks Civil Procedure by explaining doctrine and rules and placing them in context – explaining the role of each and how each doctrine relates to the others. It includes a chapter on how law school differs from college and what that means for class- and exam-preparation. It provides concrete analytical frameworks for resolving exam questions. And throughout, scores of examples allow you to apply the law to fact patterns.

[Caroline Shannon · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was good for what it was but I just can’t say I enjoyed a lot of it. Great intro for CivPro that I’m sure will be very helpful in the next year but i would be lying if I said I was super entertained by the detailed explanations of jurisdictions. I would recommend to someone entering law school but if not you should not buy this. For that reason I arrived at a 3 star rating.
