Contains more than 2,000 new citations not found in the previous edition. One of the significant additions to is a discussion of procedure after removal of a case from state court, an area not covered in previous editions. Some particularly important points included in this discussion are the time limits for some motions to remand, a federal judge’s lack of jurisdiction to reconsider remand order once that judge has entered such order, and a federal appellate court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear an appeal of remand order.

New book purchase includes complimentary digital access to the eBook.What Makes A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Different?Text of the Rules, Title 28, and Constitution: The 2022-2023 edition supplies what your students need―the text of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (as amended through December 1, 2021), the frequently-consulted sections of the U.S. Judiciary Code (as amended through February 1, 2022), and the text of the U.S. Constitution. Most Rules Supplements available to students contain that same content. But where most supplements stop, A Student’s Guide continues on….PLUS… Student-Friendly Orientation to Each Rule: What many students often find challenging in studying Civil Procedure―and what is less likely to be found in either a casebook or a conventional study aid―is an understanding of how each Rule "fits" into the master scheme of federal civil practice generally. A Student’s Guide offers students that very guidance. Three features follow the text of each Rule:"How This Rule Fits In" explains for students the broad context of each Rule and the role each plays in federal civil practice;"The Architecture of this Rule" guides students in unpacking the structure of those Rules that are especially long and confusing;“How This Rule Works in Practice” helps students understand each Rule’s application, subpart by subpart, in the real-world, practical life of practicing attorneys.PLUS… Citations to Interpretative Case Law: Also unlike most other Rules Supplements, A Student's Guide provides students with select, leading interpretative case law analyzing the Rules and their subparts (current through March 2022). This, then, converts this resource into a "finding aid” of sorts, as students work through applied problems in the context of the Rules.PLUS… A “Getting Started” Overview to Federal Practice Concepts: Because many of the related core concepts of federal practice are an amalgam of law found in Rules, statutes, constitutional provisions, and case law, A Student's Guide bridges that gulf with quick, orienting discussions of central practice concepts like personal jurisdiction, subject-matter jurisdiction, removal, venue, forum non conveniens, the Erie Doctrine, and claim and issue preclusion. These distillations allow students to acquire a broad view of those related practice contexts.PLUS… A Handy Overview of Federal Appellate Practice: A Student’s Guide also includes a concise, student-friendly overview of federal appellate practice.PLUS… A Helpful Orientation to the Rulemaking Process: A Student’s Guide also includes a brief orientation for students to the process of federal rulemaking, how the Rules originally came into existence, and how they are amended.

What Makes A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Different (and why it helps give your students an edge in learning Civil Procedure):•  Rules PLUS Commentary on the Rules: Most Rules Supplements available to students are austere reprints of the Rules, some selected U.S.C. sections, and the Constitution. But what students often find challenging in studying Civil Procedure, and what is less likely to be found in either the casebook or a conventional study aid, is a Rule-by-Rule dissection of language and meaning. Students may feel themselves comfortable with "big-picture" concepts addressed by the Rules, but less comfortable on the Rules' practical application. The commentary in A Student's Guide helps fill that gap and manage that natural student apprehension. Treating the Rules in order, students are given the full Rule text, followed by the "Purpose & Scope" of that Rule, followed by the "Core Concept" of each Rule sub-part, followed lastly by extensive practitioner-developed analyses and discussions of that Rule subpart in application. It is a level of Rule-based analysis found in few other student materials.•  Distillation of Critical Federal Practice Concepts: Because many of the related core concepts of federal practice are an amalgam of law found in Rules, statutes, constitutional provisions, and case law, A Student's Guide tries to bridge that gulf with quick, orienting discussions of central practice concepts like personal jurisdiction, in rem jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, removal, venue, forum non conveniens, the Erie Doctrine, and claim and issue preclusion. These distillations allow students, struggling to make applied sense of Rules-based concepts, to acquire a bit more broadened view of how the Rules fit within those related practice contexts.•  Interpretative Case Law: Also unlike most other Rules Supplements, A Student's Guide offers students a strong introduction to the interpretative case law analyzing the Rules and their subparts. This, then, converts this Rules Supplement into a "finding aid,” of sorts, for students as they work through applied problems in the context of the Rules. The case law is extensive (though introductory), and very current. This edition of A Student's Guide, for example, contains more than 1,000 new citations to primary authorities―most of which were decided within the past 12 months. This new edition also contains fulsome discussions of both Twombly and Iqbal, as well as the Supreme Court's recent personal jurisdiction opinions (Goodyear and J. McIntyre Machinery), and class action ruling (WalMart v. Dukes).

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, 4th Ed.

Learning Civil Procedure provides a broad, student-centered, user-friendly approach to civil procedure that is both simplified and sophisticated. It engages students through presentation of examples and analyses that build mastery of the material before moving on to more involved problems similar to those students will encounter on final examinations, bar examinations, and as lawyers. This new publication, like West's Learning Evidence, makes great use of problems to facilitate dialogue in class and correspondingly uses many fewer case excerpts than does the typical casebook. But it includes the core "canon" of civil procedure opinions as well as sufficient historical background necessary for producing culturally literate lawyers better equipped for actual real world litigation practice.
