More about Civil Procedure in Focus, Third Edition:The reader-friendly approach of this casebook provides a hands-on, experiential learning environment that can be essential to many students’ success. 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. With the practice-based exercises in every chapter, students learn to apply legal principles and concepts to real-world scenarios.

Bundle also includes PracticePerfect: Civil Procedure, a visually engaging, interactive study aid designed to help students review core course topics and test their ability to recall and correctly apply the law. PracticePerfect contains a library of animated videos that explain course topics through hypothetical situations, quizzes to test knowledge and understanding, and progress trackers so students can identify their strengths and weaknesses in the course. Designed to work with all major casebooks, PracticePerfect is the ideal study companion for today's law students.
