Product Description

Popular with law students, A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides a lucid, up-to-date explanation of all of the major topics in a typical first-year course in civil procedure.

The guide also covers such areas of procedure as jurisdiction, venue, the Erie doctrine, forum non conveniens, and res judicata.

Very Good
This text offers simple and well indexed definitions, rules, and explanations of civil procedure concepts and law.

Student's Guide to Federal Procedure
This is a great book. It is really helpful for a student. It does more than just give the text of the rule; it provides guidance. I will probably keep this book even after graduation and probably buy each new edition to keep it up to date.

Damn Good
When you take your civ pro class for law school, get this book as your rule book. Believe me this book will make this class seem a whole lot easier.
