Download or read book Civil Procedure written by Rory Bahadur and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book incorporates modern pedagogy principles and active learning. It employs a directed reading approach to flip every class session resulting in higher student readiness and doctrinal understanding. Alternative contextualization, spaced repetition and interleaving are employed in every lesson to facilitate student cognitive schema formation. Active learning exercises result in students reading the rules more carefully and creating deeper and more meaningful context for the rules they are learning than when using traditional, passive casebooks. Formative assessment is continuous and expertly incorporated into the book's structure such that students continuously receive extensive feedback about their learning without any extra labor expenditure on the professor's part. Because active learning at its core, is a constructivist pedagogy that recognizes student learning is achieved through engagement with content rather than hierarchical delivery of information, every chapter in this book and the accompanying directed reading questions are carefully designed discovery sequence exercises that result in deep and efficient understanding of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the cases interpreting those rules in significantly fewer pages than is possible with traditional casebooks. Finally, the book is deliberately designed to be used in both the traditional law school classroom and in the synchronous or asynchronous online setting if the professor chooses to use online instruction rather than traditional face to face instruction methods.

Download or read book Learning Civil Procedure written by Jeffrey W. Stempel and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 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. It engages students through presentation of examples and analyses that build mastery of the material before moving on to more involved problems similar to those students 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. But it includes the core "canon" of civil procedure opinions as well as sufficient historical background necessary for producing culturally literate lawyers better equipped for actual real world litigation practice. For those teachers who want more cases, the accompanying website includes edited versions of all the traditional cases found in most civil procedure casebooks. The website also provides exam questions, multiple choice practice questions, and a Comprehensive Study Guide.

Download or read book Civil Procedure written by A. Spencer and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 1129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 5th Edition of Civil Procedure: A Contemporary Approach is designed to provide a clear and actively engaging presentation of civil procedure in a manner that enables both students and professors to assess learning success throughout the course. The Fifth Edition fully incorporates the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as a few case law developments since the 2015 publication date of the Revised Fourth Edition. Two particularly noteworthy new cases that are included in this edition are the Supreme Court's personal jurisdiction decisions in Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Superior Court, 137 S. Ct. 1773 (2017) (elaborating on specific jurisdiction), and BNSF Railway Co. v. Tyrrell, 137 S. Ct. 1549 (2017) (remarking on general jurisdiction). This edition, like the one that preceded it, integrates references to online assessment tools in the CasebookPlus(tm) platform. These consist of a bank of 300 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. The bank of questions also serve as excellent preparation for the civil procedure component of the Multistate Bar Exam, which was added to the MBE in February 2015. Finally, in what is a significant change, the material pertaining to notice and service of process are removed from Chapters 2 and 6, respectively, and consolidated into a new Chapter 2. Personal jurisdiction, which previously made up Chapter 2, is redesignated as Chapter 1 (former Chapter 1 is now an "Overview").
Download or read book Using a Simulated Case File to Teach Civil Procedure written by David B. Oppenheimer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil procedure is a challenging course for most first year law students. Part of the challenge for our students comes from confronting new and exciting ideas about dispute resolution. But part of it also comes from the difficulty of relating the course to anything they already understand - the students lack context, and context matters. And if we don't engage them through active learning, we compound the problem. Our students arrive in our classrooms knowing something about the operation of the criminal law. (More than a few have probably experienced it more closely than they would have preferred.) They probably think they know something about the concepts that underlie our foundational courses in Torts, Contracts and Property. But few of them have had much contact with our civil dispute resolution system. As educators, we have responded by trying to provide context and engage them through active learning, by assigning them to read fictional and non-fictional accounts of cases; having them participate in litigation-oriented pro bono or clinical projects; recommending movies; passing out pleadings; using CALI exercises; incorporating moot court arguments into our courses; combining civil procedure with First Year Writing courses; inviting lawyers and/or judges as guest lecturers to talk about their cases; asking them to read stories about the background of cases we assign; using problem sets; experimenting with experiential approaches to learning; and (as an experiential approach) organizing our syllabi around simulation problems based on actual or simulated case-files. All of these strategies are potentially useful, but the most useful require a substantial time commitment, which is increasingly challenging as the number of units reserved for civil procedure is reduced. In this essay, I describe how I use a simulated case-file from which I assign regular drafting exercises that are already largely completed, so that the students only have to draft the key portion of the pleading or brief. I call this the 90% solution, since 90% of the work is already done, but the final 10% preserves most of the educational benefit of using simulation. I then review the literature on how others have addressed this problem, and on the value of context and active learning in legal education, and relate it to the benefits of using a simulated case-file using my 90% solution.

Download or read book Civil Procedure in Focus written by W. Jeremy Counseller and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-02 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Procedure in Focus by Jeremy Counseller and Eric Porterfield uses a combination of accessible explanatory text, cases, and other primary legal sources to teach civil procedure, and then provides opportunities for students to apply the law to multiple sets of facts in every chapter. Selected cases illustrate key changes in the law and show how courts have developed and apply doctrine. The unintimidating approach of this casebook provides a hands-on, experiential learning environment that can be essential to many students’ success. Through practice-based exercises, students learn to apply legal principles and concepts to real-world scenarios. Simply knowing the facts of a benchmark case is not enough; knowing how to apply the doctrine from one case to a different set of facts enhances a` student’s ability to succeed in and after law school. New to the Second Edition: Multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter Discussion of “Snap Removal,” a hot topic currently percolating through the federal court system Updates regarding recent US Supreme Court cases regarding personal jurisdiction Professors and students will benefit from: Applying the Concepts and Civil Procedure in Practice exercises. These end-of-chapter exercises encourage students to synthesize the chapter material and apply relevant legal doctrine and code to real-world scenarios. Students can use these exercises for self-assessment or the professor can use them to promote class interaction. Real Life Applications. Every case in a chapter is followed by Real Life Applications, which present a series of questions based on a scenario similar to the facts in the case. Real Life Applications challenge students to apply what they have learned and help prepare them for real-world practice. Professors can use Real Life Applications to spark class discussions or provide them as individual short-answer assignments. Case Previews and Post-Case Follow-Ups. To succeed, law students must know how to deconstruct and analyze cases. Case Previews highlight the legal concepts in a case before the student reads it. Post-Case Follow-Ups summarize the important points and go one step further—noting the significance of a case to current law as well as its later ramifications. Clear exposition of key concepts in the text that means professors can spend less class time lecturing students on the basics and more time discussing different perspectives on the law, current issues, etc. Essay, short-answer, and multiple-choice questions in every chapter Practice-based hypotheticals that challenge students to apply doctrine to different fact scenarios Exhibits that highlight the relevant rule of law and corresponding legal authority

Download or read book Civil Procedure for All States written by Benjamin V. Madison and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil Procedure for All States is unique in scope. No other casebook or textbook has sought to take the procedural doctrines that arise in the stages of a civil action and address them for each state. Each chapter describes the majority approach to a procedural doctrine, the significant minority approach, and those states that are peculiar in their approach. By taking this comprehensive approach, the book has been able to identify the common decision-making steps that a lawyer must take in handling any case, in any state. Thus, the book has the student-as-associate thinking through the questions that a seasoned litigator would consider at each stage. The student then applies the law of that student''s jurisdiction to the problems that arise at each stage of a case. After resolving questions that sharpen the student''s ability to deal with a given procedural issue, each chapter incorporates numerous questions that force the student to wrestle with matters of professionalism and ethics. This book is designed to follow the new Context and Practice Series. Books in the series will feature elements that recent studies of legal pedagogy (Best Practices in Legal Education and the Carnegie Foundation''s Educating Lawyers) recommend as essential to improving law school teaching. First, the books will emphasize heavily the practical application of the legal doctrines addressed in each book. Students will be placed in the roles of practitioners handling simulated cases. They will apply the legal doctrines that they learn in the book in exercises that require them to perform tasks that lawyers actually perform. As the studies mentioned above underscore, teaching in this manner will serve more than one purpose. It will not only better prepare students for practice. It will show students the significance of the material they are learning by demonstrating the reality that they will be using these doctrines. Second, the C & P Series will also accomplish another primary goal of the Best Practices and Educating Lawyers studies. That goal is to engage students in professional identity formation so that, when they begin practicing, they will have a better idea of the kind of lawyers they want to be. This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific. In April 2012, the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System recognized Professor Madison as an Educating Tomorrow''s Lawyers fellow and his course as one that advances reform in legal education. "Professor Ben Madison is a rising teacher and scholar of Civil Procedure. His sophisticated and thorough casebook, Civil Procedure for All States, contains subjects students need to know but may not learn elsewhere like the in-depth examinations of the statute of limitations, disability and capacity to sue. Carefully crafted problems develop a student''s thought process to develop actual solutions. One important theme and new direction is an ethical dimension named professional-identity focus. This lucidly written and well designed casebook will introduce law students to both professionalism and procedure." -- Doug Rendleman, Washington and Lee University School of Law "I knew I would be practicing in Ohio. When I saw Professor Madison had a casebook designed to teach procedure applicable to the state in which one intended to practice, I wondered how that could be done. Having now completed the course, I can say without qualification that this course did more to help me get ready to practice law than any other. First, the book tied together a great deal of what I had learned in law school, but had not connected. The method of introducing a Master Case (a complex civil case) and going through the decision-making and steps, in the order a lawyer would do it, is what helped me see the big picture. Second, the book offers not only traditional cases, but many practice problems which helped me to learn to apply the doctrines of Ohio procedure to a set of facts. The end of each chapter then reinforced the topics by including an assignment that a lawyer would actually perform--e.g., drafting a complaint, developing a discovery plan. Third, the book had something that I have never seen in courses other than Professional Responsibility. Every chapter wove in several questions that brought home to me the challenging ethical questions I will face in practice. I now have a much better sense of what limits I will set, and the professional identity to which I will aspire. In short, I received a lot more out of this course than I had ever expected." -- Robert Rice, 2010 graduate, Regent University Law School, on taking the Ohio Bar Exam
