Lively and engaging, Civil Procedure, Second Edition, breaks down the complex principles of Civil Procedure into its constituent parts, and then reassembles them into a cohesive model that students can readily grasp. Popular bar lecturer and casebook author Richard Freer offers an invaluable learning tool for students struggling to understand this challenging course. Eminently suitable for use alongside any casebook, Civil Procedure, Second Edition, features: broad coverage that reflects the topical content of the leading casebooks defining the issue, a chapter opener that clearly explains major concepts and places them in context salient connections among related concepts, (e.g., personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, and venue are all discussed in terms of the overarching theme of selecting a court) strategically positioned hypotheticals that show students how to apply the doctrine and rules.
CivPro is notoriously the most difficult first-year course. F & P, while not simplifying the material, does help make the material more comprehensible. The authors use a socratic method in the casebook. If you read the case and work through the questions after the case, you should have a pretty good understanding of the case and why the authors included it. They also, and this will kill some who read it unknowingly and skip over notes habitually, hide a LOT of really good info (terrific testbait) in their NOTES. Read the notes. Digest the notes. Learn the notes. Get a decent grade in CivPro.
