Civil Procedure: Cases and Problems, Fourth Edition offers both the classic and the more recent cases and thoughtful notes, questions and secondary materials. It places technical material in a larger thematic context, so that the students can appreciate the doctrinal and social significance of the individual cases and rules. Starting with due process of law, it emphasizes the constitutional underpinnings of procedural rules and the adversary system.

Illuminating the relationship between equality, accuracy, efficiency, and fundamental fairness to guide and inspire learning, Civil Procedure: Cases and Problems features:

  • due process at the beginning of the book to create a conceptual framework for understanding both jurisdiction and the procedural rules
  • constitutional context for understanding procedure that sets the groundwork for advanced courses on Procedure and Federal Courts
  • coverage of the social and economic context underlying procedural reform , particularly with regard to women, minorities and general financial constraints on access to the adversary system for the poor
  • lightly edited classic cases that promote case analysis and preserve the language and subtlety of procedural jurisprudence
  • major Supreme Court precedents, followed and complemented by lower court decisions to demonstrate core doctrinal principles
  • hypothetical problems that open each chapter may be taught or skipped in accordance with different teaching objectives; the problems also double as practice exam questions
  • concise and focused notes that echo the Socratic Method and prompt consideration of salient themes

Updated throughout, the Fourth Edition provides:

  • recent style changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, comprehensively integrated into the casebook, including individual case notes for all cases interpreting operative language of the rules
  • detailed coverage of the Supreme Court's attempt to reform pleading practice in Bell Atlantic and analysis of the effects of the decision in lower courts
  • extended coverage of new developments and scholarship in e-discovery, complex litigation, and alternative dispute resolution
  • updated and enhanced Teacher's Manual that is ideal for new professors and includes notes for every principal case

For an approach to Civil Procedure that creates context and connects procedure to its constitutional roots, turn to the Fourth Edition of this venerable casebook that features problems, great teaching cases, and contemporary issues of fairness. New professors and loyal users will especially appreciate the updated and revised Teacher's Manual.

Before joining the Stanford faculty in 1972, she served as the first director of the Public Defender Service of the District of Columbia. On leave from Stanford, she was assistant attorney general for the Civil Division in the U.S. Department of Justice in the Carter administration. Professor Babcock is a distinguished teacher, being the only four-time winner of the John Bingham Hurlbut Award for Excellence in Teaching at Stanford Law School.Upon her graduation from law school, she clerked for Judge Henry Edgerton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and worked for the noted criminal defense attorney, Edward Bennett Williams.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate Portrayal of Judicial Interpretation of the FRCP.
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013
Verified Purchase
As said in another comment, this is a case book, this should really only be for law school consumption and certainly not for those merely interested in civil procedure.

The book itself seems to accurately portray the current judicial interpretation of the FRCP. How interesting you find the book itself outside of the case law is determined by how fascinating you find discrimination cases. If you don't find discrimination cases interesting I recommend skipping the parts outside of the actual judicial opinions.

An "acceptable" book is a LAST resort. Almost every line in the book is highlighted and there are a TON of INCORRECT margin notes.
