About the Book
The Fourth Edition examines all of the important new Supreme Court decisions dealing with Civil Procedure from the October 2008, 2009, and 2010 terms, including cases on personal jurisdiction, Article III jurisdiction, and class actions. A complete overhaul and reorganization of the pleadings coverage reflects major developments generated by Bell Atlantic v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal. Erie materials now include an optional “short version” that is teachable in approximately two class hours or less. The Class Action chapter now includes significant judicial opinions issued from the circuit courts, and an important new section on e-discovery has been added. Problems are updated and revised for currency; more factual details and structure have been added to the problems to make them more effective teaching tools. The Fourth Edition is available in e-version as well as print.
