The fourth edition of Civil Procedure: Cases, Text, Notes, and Problems continues to cover the full range of civil procedure topics, but it is specifically constructed to accommodate the demands presented by both three-credit as well as traditional five- and six-credit courses. The new edition carefully integrates both basic and more complex issues of federal and state civil procedure, presented in a user-friendly format. Throughout the book, explanatory text has been interwoven with illustrative cases, notes, questions, and figures to make the presentation of the material more efficient for the professor and more understandable for the student. As an additional teaching feature, the textbook contains over 250 carefully drafted problems following each topic section, designed to provide maximum teaching flexibility―enabling a professor to utilize the problems in each section to teach all or part of the material. The new edition also includes the latest decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court on subject-matter and personal jurisdiction, venue, the Erie doctrine, class actions, pleadings, joinder, and preclusion, and has been updated to reflect all current amendments of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and relevant federal statutes.

No less than in other jurisdictions worldwide, conflicts law in the US continues to undergo a major transformation.

American Conflicts Law Student Edition

Civil Procedure: Cases, Text, Notes and Problems is designed for use in law school courses on Civil Procedure. This casebook begins with a comprehensive overview, followed by in-depth topical coverage. Its extensive textual discussion along with the cases, notes, questions, and problems helps students develop rapid comprehension of the subject. The problems throughout the casebook present students with the opportunity to apply the legal rules and policies studied in the previous materials in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts. This innovative approach provides both efficient and effective coverage of all the major areas of civil procedure, even in courses with reduced hours of credit. The 2008 second edition fully incorporates the new "re-styled" Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the latest "e-discovery" amendments, and the most recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, including Grable, Exxon Mobil, and Bell Atlantic.

American Conflicts Law is a comprehensive text designed to be used as a companion to all modern casebooks currently used in courses in Conflict of Laws in United States' law schools. The sixth edition of American Conflicts Law continues the tradition of the first five editions in covering all important topics included in the Conflicts course. However, the text has been completely reorganized and shortened to achieve a succinct, but in-depth, treatment of this conceptually difficult subject. The revised and shortened version of the text will better meet the needs of law students for an informative and manageable study aid for the course in Conflict of Laws. Chapter One briefly introduces the subject and traces the historical evolution of Conflicts doctrine in the United States. Chapters Two and Three then establish the foundation for the exploration of conflict-of-laws in the United States by providing background in the modern law of personal jurisdiction and interstate judgment enforcement subjects that provide critical background for understanding choice-of-law theory. Chapter 4 introduces students to the choice-of-law systems currently prevailing in the United States, together with critical commentary on each system. Chapter 5 rounds out the coverage of choice-of-law systems with a discussion of numerous topics, such as Domicile and Proof of Foreign Law, that are common to all systems. Chapter 6 then explores the constitutional limits that exist on state conflict-of-laws doctrine in the United States, with special attention to the Due Process and Full Faith and Credit Clauses of the United States Constitution. Chapter 7 ends the general material with an examination of 'vertical choice of law,' the so-called Erie doctrine that governs the obligations of federal courts to apply state law in diversity and other actions. After this general background material, Chapters Eight through Twelve apply the general principles examined in Chapters One through Seven to particular topics. These chapters include coverage of conflict-of-laws problems in Torts (Chapter Eight), Contracts (Chapter Nine), Property (Chapter 10), Inheritance (Chapter 11), and Domestic Relations (Chapter 12). The revised text of the new sixth edition has, of course, been updated to include coverage of all modern developments since the fifth edition. This includes coverage in Chapter 4 of the Illinois Supreme Court's decision in Townsend v. Sears Roebuck & Co., 879 N.E.2d 893 (2007) and, in Chapter 7, the United States Supreme Court's decision under the Erie doctrine of Shady Grove Orthopedic Associates v. Allstate Insurance Co., 130 S. Ct. 1431(2010). The most important and relevant contemporary writing on Conflict of Laws has also been added to the footnotes. The authors believe that the revised sixth edition of American Conflicts Law will provide a useful tool with which to complete the understanding of modern choice-of-law doctrine in United States law schools.
