This coursebook explores both the practical and substantive aspects of Texas civil pre-trial litigation. The materials cover all aspects of the processing of a civil case up to the period immediately before trial. It addresses such issues as: •  The attorney's relationship with the client (when to take a case, forming the contract, Interviewing and counseling the client); •  When to file the suit (statutes of limitation and other pre-filing requirements); •  Protecting the right to recover (emergency relief such as TROs, sequestration, garnishment, and attachment); •  Deciding where to file the case (subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue); •  Defining and shaping the case (pleading practices, joinder, and preclusion doctrines); •  Obtaining relevant Information (scope of discovery and discovery devices); and •  Non-trial resolutions (default, summary judgment, settlement, and alternative dispute resolution).  All of the chapters have been updated to include new cases and changes in rules and statutes. In addition to cases and supplemental notes, Texas Civil Procedure: Pre-Trial Litigation includes sample pleadings and other documents to help students understand and apply the procedural rules. The text also includes thirty new sets of Practice Exerciseshypothetical problems that walk students through the application of the rules in increasingly complex situations. Professors adopting the book will be provided with suggested answers to the Practice Exercises. New softcover editions of this book will be issued each year.

Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure

The major emphasis of this new legal reasoning publication is the law-oriented uses of reasoning concepts. The author provides and interesting and fun approach to this thinker's tool kit, including such varied applications of logic as how to define a strike in baseball, or the reasoning underlying a joke's punch line, or how a mystery writer heightens suspense. Because the underlying concepts are so important, discussions of symbolic logic, statistics and game theory do not involve high-level mathematics. The author does not attempt to convert users to the fields of psychology, sociology or politic science, but rather uses these disciplines to hone reasoning and logical thinking.
How to Reason about the Law has a dual structure: Each chapter discusses a single discipline, or a single aspect of a complex discipline such as economics. These discussions provide the necessary background for the subsequent exercises, problems and examples, which are not all about the law but may refer to business, salesmanship, or other fields. Throughout, the author purposefully includes issues that are not normally taught outside of specific logic classes, such as entropy, correlation coefficients, Barbara syllogisms, cognitive dissonance, Nash equilibria, Shapley values, the Trolley problem, and more. These thinking tools will help students analyze arguments, their own and others', as well as guide later public policy and even personal decisions. The large section on economics, or portions on selected scientific principles, can be skipped in classes with strong backgrounds in those fields.
