Public Nuisance: The New Mass Tort Frontier

In Public Nuisance, Linda Mullenix describes the landscape of 21st century mass tort litigation involving public harms – including lead paint, opioids, firearms, e-cigarettes, climate change, and environmental pollution – and the novel theory of public nuisance that lawyers and local governments have used to receive compensation from those who have created public nuisances. The book surveys conflicting judicial decisions rooted in common law and statutory interpretation and evaluates the competing arguments for and against the expansion of public nuisance law. Mullenix argues that that the development of public nuisance theory is part of the historical arc of mass tort litigation and suggests a middle approach to new public nuisance law, namely that we should embrace the common law and legislated public nuisance statutes.

The Black Letter Outline on Civil Procedure is an exhaustively-prepared study and review aid for students. The book is designed to provide students with an easy, user-friendly, and accessible guide to the first year course in civil procedure. It is intended to provide both a quick overview of the range of civil procedure topic areas, along with an in-depth analysis of the leading case law, doctrine, rules, statutes, and theory in a standard civil procedure curriculum. The text is current through the Federal Rules Amendments effective December 1, 2003, and includes discussion of Supreme Court and federal appellate decisions through summer 2004. 
In addition to textual analysis of procedural cases, rules, statutes, doctrine, and underlying theory, the book also includes sample essay exam questions with model answers. A thirty-page glossary of legal terms assists students in quickly understanding the vocabulary of civil litigation.
