Book Pleading and Procedure  Cases and Materials

Download or read book Pleading and Procedure Cases and Materials written by Geoffrey C. Hazard Jr and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 1200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic casebook has been thoroughly updated for 2020-retaining what has made it a favorite for decades while also remaining current and user-friendly.

  • Pages : 1515 pages

Download or read book Civil Procedure written by Jack Friedenthal and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 1515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thirteenth Edition of this very popular casebook provides a framework for studying the essential and cutting-edge issues of civil procedure in an accessible but rigorous way. The authors of the prior editions, Jack H. Friedenthal, Arthur R. Miller, John E. Sexton, and Helen Hershkoff, welcome two new authors to their team, Adam N. Steinman and Troy A. McKenzie. The new edition reflects the uniqueness, talents, and special expertise of these new authors, who individually and together bring tremendous new experiences and backgrounds to an author-team already known for its excellence and distinction. Adam N. Steinman, the University Research Professor of Law at the University of Alabama School of Law, is an award-winning teacher and scholar whose work has been cited in hundreds of articles and dozens of judicial opinions. He is an author on the Wright & Miller Federal and Practice & Procedure treatise and an elected member of the American Law Institute. He is also the co-organizer of the Unavailability Workshop for Civil Procedure and the co-editor of the Law Professor Blogs Network's Civil Procedure & Federal Courts Blog. Prior to joining the University of Alabama faculty, he was a Professor of Law at Seton Hall University and the University of Cincinnati. His practice experience includes both complex civil litigation and public-interest appellate work. Troy A. McKenzie, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, is an award-winning teacher and scholar who has taken an active role in the procedural rulemaking process. He is a member of the Council of the American Law Institute and has been appointed to the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States. At NYU, he co-directs the Center on Civil Justice and the Institute of Judicial Administration. Among his practice and public service experiences, he served for two years as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. The Thirteenth Edition, like the predecessor editions upon which it is based, is designed to reinforce doctrinal understanding, to foster case reading skills, to encourage critical thinking about the real-world context of procedural decisions, to motivate discussion about diversity, inclusion, and equity and the role of courts and civil procedure in promoting those values, and to help develop a sense of litigation strategy in a world that is at once local and global. The casebook covers all of the major topics that a professor might wish to teach in a first-year course, and can easily be adapted for courses of one or two semesters, of different credit hours, and with varied practical or theoretical emphases. A supplement includes all updated Federal Rules, federal statutes, and constitutional provisions pertinent to procedure, the pleadings in Twombly and Iqbal, a model case file, a litigation flow-chart, state materials, and other important teaching tools. The casebook can be used for in-class and remote instruction.

Book Civil Procedure

Download or read book Civil Procedure written by A. Benjamin Spencer and published by Ingram. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revised 4th Edition of Civil Procedure: A Contemporary Approach is updated with references to the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as case law developments since the 2014 publication date of the Fourth Edition. Major recent case law developments included in this revised edition consist of decisions from the Supreme Court addressing personal jurisdiction (Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v. Brown, 131 S. Ct. 2846 (2011), J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, 131 S. Ct. 2780 (2011), and Daimler AG v. Bauman, 134 S. Ct. 746 (2014)), federal question jurisdiction (Gunn v. Minton, 133 S. Ct. 1059 (2013)), removal of class actions (Standard Fire Ins. Co. v. Knowles, 133 S. Ct. 1345 (2013)), change of venue and forum-selection clauses (Atl. Marine Constr. Co., Inc. v. U.S. Dist. Court for W. Dist. of Texas, 134 S. Ct. 568 (2013) [now a principal case]), class certification (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S. Ct. 2541 (2011), Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, 133 S. Ct. 1426 (2013), Amgen Inc. v. Conn. Ret. Plans & Trust Funds, 133 S. Ct. 1184 (2013)), class arbitration waivers (AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, 131 S. Ct. 1740 (2011) and American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, 133 S. Ct. 2304 (2013)), and offers of judgment (Genesis HealthCare Corp. v. Symczyk, 133 S. Ct. 1523 (2013)). Regarding the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, this revised edition makes reference to them in the text where appropriate. The changes include the "Duke Rules" package, which alters Rules 1, 4, 16, 26, 30, 31, 33 and 34 to make proportionality a main component of the scope of discovery, to eliminate access to subject matter discovery, require early discussions regarding preservation and privilege protection, permit early document requests, and shorten the time permitted to issue scheduling orders and to achieve service of process. The amendment to Rule 37 codifies an approach to preservation and spoliation that favors curative measures unless there is intentional spoliation, in which case more severe sanctions such as adverse inference instructions or dismissal become available. This edition also fully incorporates recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and to Title 28 of the U.S. Code, including the Federal Courts Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act of 2011 and the 2013 amendment to Rule 45 (subpoenas). Finally, the Revised Fourth Edition integrates references to online assessment tools in the Casebook Plus platform. These consist of a bank of 200 multiple-choice questions that provide comprehensive assessment of the topics covered in this book, with detailed feedback consisting of explanations for both correct and incorrect responses. This feature provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the material actively as the course progresses and permits students and professors to determine the extent to which the material is being learned.

Book Criminal Law and Procedure

Download or read book Criminal Law and Procedure written by Donald A. Dripps and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a part of our CasebookPlus offering, you'll receive the print book along with lifetime digital access to the eBook. Additionally you'll receive the Learning Library which includes quizzes tied specifically to your book, and outline starter and digital access to leading study aids in that subject and the Gilbert Law Dictionary. This casebook provides the most comprehensive treatment available, including the theoretical foundations, the common-law origins, the statutory structure, and the procedural context of modern criminal law. The book concentrates on doctrinal materials that can support both rigorous technical and sophisticated theoretical discussions. The purposes and limits of punishment are addressed through Supreme Court decisions, a focus on statutes throughout the substantive law sections enables training students in the legal art of statutory interpretation as well as exposing them to the hard moral and political problems of legislative choice, and the sentencing materials reprise the theory of punishment in the context of the practically most important stage of the modern process. The 12th edition carries forward the comprehensive approach of prior editions, empowering the teacher to design a course suited to the needs of the teacher's students and institution. New Supreme Court's decisions, changing the landscape of both substance and procedure, include Skilling v. United States, McDonald v. City of Chicago, Graham v. Florida, United States v. Jones, and Michigan v. Bryant. The material on self-defense has been comprehensively revised, both for the sake of clarity and to include discussion of so-called "stand your ground laws." Statutes (e.g., the New York and California homicide statutes) and the caselaw (e.g., up-to-the-minute material on "willful blindness") have been updated. We also now include a case about the admissibility of neuro-imaging evidence to support a diminished-capacity defense, thus acknowledging how modern brain science has begun to raise both practical evidentiary issues and a substantial challenge to important theoretical premises of the criminal law.

Download or read book Learning Civil Procedure written by Jeffrey Stempel and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 883 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Civil Procedure provides a broad, student-centered, user-friendly approach to civil procedure that is both clear and sophisticated. Students build mastery of the material through the presentation of examples and analyses. Students then move on to involved problems similar to what they will encounter on final examinations, bar examinations, and as lawyers. The book makes great use of problems to facilitate dialogue in class and correspondingly uses many fewer case excerpts than does the typical casebook. Students will emerge as competent and culturally literate lawyers because the book also includes the core "canon" of civil procedure opinions as well as sufficient historical background. Learning Civil Procedure is a book designed by authors who both teach and litigate, making it the perfect tool for ensuring that students are ready for the classroom, the bar exam, and real-world litigation practice.
