It allows students to understand how their course materials fit together, doing so by conveying a conception of civil procedure–the relationships among the ideas and the law that constitute the subject. This book is carefully designed and written as a study aid in preparing for classes and as a review aid in studying for examinations, containing all the many special features that characterize the highly successful Black Letter Series of books, such as a glossary and sample examination questions and answers.

Black Letter Outline on Civil Procedure

Rules & Procedures

West Academic Publishing

This concise hornbook focuses on the material covered in a typical law school course on civil procedure, tied to no one casebook. It breaks down the subject of civil procedure along the standard lines: a brief orientation and a lengthier overview of the stages of litigation, followed by a close inspection of the major procedural problems (governing law, authority to adjudicate, former adjudication, and complex litigation), and then some reflections in conclusion. It discusses specific problems and illustrations, with the aid of generously sprinkled diagrams and special text boxes. Special attention was given to fitting the civil procedure course's main points together to form the big picture, with each topic ending in a section on the “big idea” the student is supposed to take from the topic.

This outline summarizes the black-letter rules of civil procedure. It covers general considerations, litigating step-by-step, authority to adjudicate, complex litigation, governing law, and former adjudication.

Black Letter Outline on Civil Procedure (Black Letter Outlines)

This concise hornbook focuses on the material covered in a typical law school course on civil procedure, tied to no one casebook. It breaks down the subject of civil procedure along the standard lines: a brief orientation; then a lengthier overview of the stages of litigation, followed by a close inspection of the major procedural problems (governing law, authority to adjudicate, former adjudication, and complex litigation); and finally some reflections in conclusion. It discusses specific problems and illustrations, with the aid of generously sprinkled diagrams and special text boxes. Special attention was given to fitting the civil procedure course's main points together to form the big picture, with each topic ending in a section on the “big idea” (separation of powers, vertical federalism, horizontal federalism, full faith and credit, or procedural due process) that the student is supposed to take from the topic.

Res judicata is a major and critical topic in civil procedure. At a mundane level, the term specifies the effect that an adjudication has on subsequent litigation. At a more profound level, it is the law that sets the boundaries on the output of the judicial branch of government. In other words, it specifies what a judgment decides and does not decide and how a judgment differs from legislation and administration. It is a policy-driven and judge-made body of law, generated independently by each of the states, by the federal system, and by each country. 
The book is written at a middle level of depth, between a simplistic summary of the doctrine and a personalized reformulation of the subject. The latter is the domain of difficult and theoretical law review articles, and the former is served by outlines and nutshells. 
The three major parts of the book cover theory, doctrine, and practice. Authors Casad and Clermont believe that attention to the basic concepts and policies underlying res judicata helps the reader understand this concept. 
This new book will be the only accessible, one-volume treatment of this important procedural topic. It will be useful for readers with some familiarity with the doctrine, for students reviewing the subject, or as a basic reference work.

Legal History

Carolina Academic Press

Clermont's Territorial Jurisdiction and Venue paints the theoretical background and lays out the doctrine explaining the subject's practical importance and how it works. Introduces international and comparative aspects, as well as a firm reminder of where the law on forum fits into the structure of our own legal system. Coverage extends from the history of the law to its application in cyberspace. In brief, this book provides the theory, doctrine, and practice of territorial jurisdiction and venue.

Fourteen law school professors collaborated to write Civil Procedure Stories, which provides deeper understanding of the great civil procedure cases. Each professor wrote a short chapter on one of the cases, retelling the case in his or her own voice and by his or her own method. Each chapter includes separate sections on: Social and legal background of the case Factual background of the case Lower court proceedings in the case Final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions Factual postscript to the case Immediate impact of the case on the development of the law (why the case is famous and when it became so) Continuing importance of the case today (why it is still a leading case)

Civil Procedure Stories (Law Stories)

The most respected casebook on the subject, this sophisticated classic provides a fairly detailed overview and then in-depth coverage of the major problem areas, giving law students a solid and complete grounding. Retaining prior editions' range and depth of coverage, while undergoing a thorough rewriting to make it ever more smooth and logical, the tenth edition covers such major new cases as Tombly and Iqbal, and it fully incorporates the new rules of December 2009. This versatile coursebook can serve the most profound civil procedure course as well as a modern compact course with as few as three semester hours--thanks to its flexible structure, it fosters diverse teaching methods.

This casebook is the Concise, and very modern, Edition of a respected classic of civil procedure casebooks. The Survey. The key to its brevity is its step-by-step survey of the subject in Part One. This survey is more than an introduction. It suffices to give the students a complete and solid grounding in civil procedure. There is a tight 250-page comprehensive treatment of modern civil procedure, comprising cases and commentaries and text and questions that progress from pretrial to settlement to trial to judgment to appeal to jurisdiction to complex litigation. In our casebook, brief yet thorough coverage can be effected through its efficient and systematic step-by-step survey. The survey in the Concise Edition has been somewhat beefed up to compensate for the omission of full chapters on pretrial, trial, appeal, and complex litigation. Moreover, the Concise Edition has been revised to account for changes in the law since the casebook’s Tenth Edition emerged las
