In Civil Procedure, Twelfth Edition, the authors employ a pedagogical style that offers flexible organization at a manageable length. The book gives students a working knowledge of the procedural system and introduces the techniques of statutory analysis. The cases selected are factually interesting and do not involve substantive matters beyond the experience of first-year students. The problems following the cases present real-life issues. Finally, the book incorporates a number of dissenting opinions to dispel the notion that most procedural disputes present clear-cut issues.

New to the Twelfth Edition:

• Lengthier edited versions of the leading personal jurisdiction cases that allow students to grapple with the key issues while retaining a manageable length
• Replacement of Detroit Will Breathe with Winter v. NRDC to illustrate the preliminary judgment standard
• Return of Interpleader materials
• A new case, Bluegrass Marine, that clearly explains and applies the standards for defaults, default judgments, and motions to vacate
• Discussion of local and individual judges’ rules
• Larger, easier-to-read format

Benefits for instructors and students:

• Teachable, well-structured casebook featuring a clear organization, concisely edited cases chosen to be readily accessible to first-year students, textual notes introducing each section that highlight connections between material, and practical problems
• Manageable length which allows the class to get through this complex course material in limited hours
• Flexible organization, adaptable to a variety of teaching approaches
• Clear, straightforward writing style, making the material accessible to students without oversimplifying
• Effective overview of the procedural system, which provides students with a working knowledge of the system and of techniques for statutory analysis
• Assessment questions and answers at the end of each chapter, to help students test their comprehension of the material
• Sample complaints, briefs, discovery, dockets, and other materials from cases excerpted in the casebook that can be shared with students to illustrate civil litigation practice
