Fantastic source
It made civil procedure so much more manageable. I highly recommend it to any first-year law student.

ace the exam
Buy this book at the beginning of the semester to help you through the class, and at the end of the semester before the exam to get ready. Final exam questions have been based off the examples in this book for years. Way, way better than the crunchtime review book. I would recommend this to every 1L taking Civ Pro.

Excellent resource - well worth the $
This E&E is an excellent resource - it breaks down topics that can easily be daunting into manageable sections, and by the time you're finished with a chapter, the doctrine/rules make perfect sense. For a civil procedure course, going through these types of examples is probably your best bet in getting the rules to stick in your mind.
I would recommend spending the money on this book solely for the chapters on joinder, which are exceptionally well written.
