Civil Procedure

This is the single best resource on Civil Procedure that I have ever encountered. Easy to read yet comprehensive, this book demystifies a subject that gives many first year law students difficulty. I consider this an essential resource for any serious law student.

I was "forced" to purchase this book (in addition to a casebook) for my law school civ pro class. I avoided the "red book" as much as possible and sold it at the end of the year. However, I soon came to realize that the book contains a great wealth of info from basic stuff to very cutting edge theory. Although my first year I struggled through the material in my civ pro course, I could have done much better had I utilized this book! Now, I have repurchased this book and rely on it immensly. This book is teaching and reteaching me the civ pro course.It is not for the extreme beginner (i.e. it is not a replacement for an emmanuel), but Civil Procedure is a very academic and intellectual source worth the 40-something bucks.

This book offers the civil procedure beginner easily accesible and easy to read information on basic civil procedure concepts on up to more advanced problems. It is easily read and I would recommend it to any first year law student looking for a source that gets to the point, while offering basic reasoning behind the concepts that one would apply on a law school exam.
