Using the Socratic method, Civil Procedure: Theory and Practice helps students develop strategic, critical thinking, with introductory text, examples, and hypotheticals that equip them for the challenges of practice. Sophisticated yet straightforward, the text strikes an important balance, providing clear exposition while requiring work to achieve deeper insights. An opening chapter gives an overview of the entire process, using real pleadings and discovery materials in the landmark N.Y. Times v. Sullivan case. The innovative “Anatomy of a Litigation” case study chapter systematically leads students from pleadings to verdict, using leading cases to deepen the connection between the classroom and the courtroom. Civil Procedure: Theory and Practice covers the full range of topics, including in-depth treatment of personal and subject-matter jurisdiction, joinder, preclusion, and alternative dispute resolution. Accessible background material for each major case facilitates analysis, and extensive notes and questions frame deep, conceptual issues.

Bundle also includes Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 2025-2026: With Study Resources -  An ideal accompaniment to any civil procedure casebook, this new statutory supplement presents the current Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) along with amendments that may take effect on December 1, 2025. This comprehensive supplement is designed specifically for students, offering not only the rules but also forms, examples of statutes, and study resources. Whether students are enrolled in a civil procedure course or preparing for the bar exam, this book provides an all-in-one resource to navigate the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with confidence and clarity.
