The new edition of this thought-provoking casebook incorporates important new material into a framework that has been proven and updated through classroom use. CIVIL PROCEDURE: Theory and Practice, Second Edition, integrates traditional, thorough doctrinal coverage and the Socratic method with contextual, strategic lawyering perspectives and the opportunity to explore challenging theoretical questions.

The casebook helps students recognize the relevance of procedural issues in litigation by:

• using the Socratic method to encourage student thought, with introductory text, examples, and hypotheticals to equip students for the challenges of practice


• creating a sophisticated yet clear and straightforward text that provides students with clear exposition that never -hides the ball- yet still requires students to work to achieve deeper insights


• opening with an overview of the entire civil litigation process, using the landmark N.Y. Times v. Sullivan case, real pleadings, and actual discovery materials to introduce basic elements of civil litigation


• showing the connection between the classroom and the courtroom with an innovative -Anatomy of a Litigation- case study chapter that leads students systematically through the process from pleadings to verdict and requires students to apply what they learn to a factually complex tort case centered around an airplane crash


• providing comprehensive coverage of the full range of topics, including in-depth treatment of personal and subject matter jurisdiction, complex joinder, preclusion, and alternative dispute resolution


• facilitating analysis with accessible background material for each major case


• utilizing extensive notes and questions to frame conceptual issues and provide the beginning of the answer so students have a starting point and are able to develop strategic and critical thinking skills
