To view or download the 2021 Online Update to this book, click here. The seventh edition of Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure is updated to reflect recent changes in procedural rules and practice. While essentially a traditional casebook organized along the lines of the events in a lawsuit, this edition retains the unique features that have made prior editions a success, including Chapter Summary Problems―optional comprehensive problems requiring the student to "put the chapter together" and apply to the problems the material addressed in the chapter; "Improving the System" sections challenging students to think more deeply about cutting-edge issues; Litigation documents showing actual litigation sequences; "How to Read This Case" notes preceding particularly difficult cases; and A chapter devoted to Alternative Dispute Resolution methods. Some materials in this edition have been rearranged for ease of use. Cases and Materials on Civil Procedure is supplemented annually and a comprehensive Teacher's Manual is available to professors.
