Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This second edition incorporates the restyled federal rules of civil procedure and the Supreme Court's modification of civil pleading standards in Bell Atlantic v. Twombly. The casebook features a novel visual display and layout that uses text boxes, diagrams, and color/border segregated feature sections for hypotheticals, references to scholarly debates, useful information for students, and thought-provoking questions. A major distinguishing feature of the book is its inclusion of an accompanying electronic version with extensive hyperlinks to Westlaw versions of legal materials, Black's Law Dictionary definitions, supplementary online resources, and more.

5 out of 5 stars Not bad for a casebook   January 23, 2009

I'm a 1L currently in my second semester, and this has been the best casebook I've had so far. The hypos at the end of each case are actually helpful, and the explanations of latin and legal terms in the margins are helpful and save me time. I like how the print is fairly large and that there is at least some space between the lines of text. This casebook is well organized and it seems like the author actually wants you to learn CivPro rather than putting together a collection of poorly abridged cases and cryptic notes that suffices for most casebooks.

Book has expected writing and highlighting but is in good condition. I received it on time so kudos to you Seller. The only other comment I have is this seller likes to play tick tack toe. I guess you were bored in class on certain days huh? ;) Overall I'm fairly satisfied.


3 out of 5 stars meh, it was required for class. The electronic version is not a big deal.   August 28, 2009

The electronic version is not a big deal. Save your self some $$$ and buy a used copy.
