Product Description

Acing Civil Procedure is a new study aid by Professor A. Benjamin Spencer of the University of Richmond School of Law. This exciting new title features an innovative method of content organization, utilizing a checklist format that leads students through the questions they need to ask themselves in order to fully evaluate the legal problem they are trying to solve. By including the checklists, Professor Spencer provides students with the tools they need to conduct this navigation. Many other study aids provide sample problems for students to work on, but none provides the type of systematic approach to problem solving that can be found in Acing Civil Procedure.

A new way to organize
Unlike any study-aid I have come across. Prof. Spencer's reviews of the topics are clear and concise. The checklists both organize the many seemingly disparate pieces of Civil Proceedure into a logical whole and give students a practical and effective approach to exam questions. Furthermore, at 250 pages, that feel more like 100, this small book is comprehensive without being overbearing.

Excellent Study Aid
Professor Spencer has simplified civil procedure analysis by making checklists to help analyze all the major topics that you are likely to be tested on. The most helpful feature of this study aid for me though were the problems at the end of each chapter followed by his own analysis. It is helpful for studying to see exactly how your civil procedure professor expects you to analyze certain fact situations and apply the law, and that's what this study aid gives you.

Saved me During my Open Book/Open Note Civ Pro Fnal
This book was a lifesaver during my Civ Pro exam, which took place yesterday. I have all the other supplements--Glannon Guide (good too), E&E, Emanuel's, Gilbert's...the works. During the open book/note/everything exam I only really used this book. The checklists at the end of each section make it so easy to make sure you haven't missed an issue or just forgotten something. It is also an EASY READ...I can barely make it through 1/2 an E&E before finals. I have never reviewed a book before EVER, but if I had not had this supplement yesterday, I would have cried on the last question regarding the ERIE doctrine. It is worth it just for the checklists and sample (short) answers alone. Hope this helps!
