Civil Procedure in Focus (Focus Casebook)

Product Description

Civil Procedure in Focus uses a combination of accessible explanatory text, cases, and other primary legal sources to teach civil procedure, and then provides opportunities to apply the law to multiple sets of facts in every chapter. Instead of using the “hide the ball” approach of traditional casebooks, selected cases illustrate key changes in the law and show how courts develop and apply doctrine. The approachable manner of this casebook provides a comfortable experiential environment that is essential to student success.

With this new text, students apply concepts to real-world scenarios. Simply knowing the facts of a benchmark case is not enough: knowing how to apply the doctrine in a case to a different set of facts enhances a student’s ability to succeed after law school.

Key Benefits:

• 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.
• 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.
• Applying the Concepts and Civil Procedure in Practice. 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.
