Civil Procedure
Howard M Erichson, Maria GloverProfessors and students will benefit from:
Clear explanations of each topic to prime students for case reading and class discussion.
Careful case selection that highlights the core aspects of each topic in civil procedure.
Notes and Questions that guide students, step by step, not only to understand case holdings and procedural story lines, but also to appreciate the difficulties and nuances that may otherwise be invisible to first-year students.
"Terminology Tips" to define terms clearly--helping first-year law students learn the unfamiliar and sometimes-baffling language of civil procedure.
"Strategy Sessions" to help students see how procedural rules affect litigation strategy and settlement dynamics--allowing the book to speak to students as future lawyers in practice, not as merely academic learners.
"The Big Picture" boxes to help students step back from each topic to see broader trends, policies, and implications.
Up-to-date cases as well as chapters structured to take account of changes in legal doctrine.
