This book differs from other Civil Procedure casebooks in several ways. * A new feature uses a "modular" approach, enabling you to choose from "long" (paper) and "short" (electronic) versions of several chapters (including pleading, jurisdiction, and Erie).* Because of time constraints, several topics are in electronic formats only (including advanced joinder, alternate dispute resolution, and full-faith and credit). YOU have the option to select the depth of coverage for these topics.* Extensive problems and exercises encourage the student to read and apply the actual rule rather than a court's paraphrasing of that rule.* Extensive notes materials supplement the cases and problems.* The overall result = a very teachable book for you, as well as a useful long-term desk reference for your students.
