Product Description
The Fourth Edition of the Hornbook on Civil Procedure gives a straightforward, no-nonsense assessment of the law as it exists, including the highlighting of areas where cases conflict or there is some other uncertainty in the law. This method of direct analysis provides answers when needed, benefiting students, professors, and practitioners alike. Important new cases have been added or substituted as the situation dictates; some of the most dramatic alterations in the material involve significant amendments to the Federal Discovery Rules promulgated after the last edition.

Good Review for 1L May 28, 2007
Wrench (Houston, TX)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This text contains more information than the average 1L will cover in a civil procedure course, but this text is an excellent summary on the most commonly tested areas (pleadings, discovery, federal jurisdiction, etc.)Recommended as a review and/or supplement to any text.
Excellent In-Depth Book; Higher-level thinking than E&E January 21, 2009

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read Glannon's Examples & Explanations before my civil procedure course began. While this was helpful for guiding me through class discussions without getting lost, when it came to really learning the material, Friedenthal, Kane, and Miller (FKM) is simply far superior to Glannon's book.
Reading Glannon will get you to the same, base level as your 1L cohort. If you read FKM, or at least have it available for reference, it will put you into that next level. In law school, where separating yourself from the pack is the name of the game, this book will allow you to do it. Could not recommend it more highly.
Excellent April 19, 2009

This volume comes highly recommended. Civil procedure is often difficult for 1Ls and a particularly important class during that first year (mine was 4 credits). Helped me grab an A, I'd say get this along with Glannon's E&E and you will do well.
Good for reviewing material December 19, 2009
E. Jessica (New Jersey)
Found this book helpful for reviewing material before finals. Sometimes it's hard to get the picture through reading a casebook...this hornbook helps fill in the gaps where classes didn't. I didn't get to reading this until before exams, and I'd recommend it to anybody who needs a refresher, or is confused about the black letter law after class.
Sure way to get an A in Jack's Civ Pro class June 3, 2010
Marky Mark
GW graduate here - I had Prof. Friendenthal for Civ Pro a couple years ago.
In an effort to be concise:
1. I didn't buy a casebook for this class (well I did, but it got lost in the mail and I never replaced it).
2. I never went to Jack's lecture because I liked sleeping in.
3. Yet I easily pulled an A because I read Jack's Hornbook thoroughly.
4. Current CoA clerk...I reference Jack's Hornbook along with my Wright and Kane Fed. Practice Deskbook pretty much once a week. Essential if you practice or plan on practicing law in the federal system.
5. Look up the word "concise" in the dictionary and there is a picture of Friedenthal's Civ Pro Hornbook.
