Description
What Makes A Student's Guide to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Different?
- Text of the Rules, Title 28, and Constitution: The 2023-2024 edition supplies what your students need鈥攖he text of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (as amended through December 1, 2022), the frequently-consulted sections of the U.S. Judiciary Code (as amended through February 1, 2022), and the text of the U.S. Constitution. Most Rules Supplements available to students contain that same content. But where most supplements stop, A Student鈥檚 Guide continues on鈥�.
- PLUS鈥� Student-Friendly Orientation to Each Rule: What many students often find challenging in studying Civil Procedure鈥攁nd what is less likely to be found in either a casebook or a conventional study aid鈥攊s an understanding of how each Rule "fits" into the master scheme of federal civil practice generally. A Student鈥檚 Guide offers students that very guidance. Three features follow the text of each Rule:
- "How This Rule Fits In" explains for students the broad context of each Rule and the role each plays in federal civil practice;
- "The Architecture of this Rule" guides students in unpacking the structure of those Rules that are especially long and confusing;
- 鈥淗ow This Rule Works in Practice鈥� helps students understand each Rule鈥檚 application, subpart by subpart, in the real-world, practical life of practicing attorneys.
- PLUS鈥� Citations to Interpretative Case Law: Also unlike most other Rules Supplements, A Student's Guide provides students with select, leading interpretative case law analyzing the Rules and their subparts (current through February 2023). This, then, converts this resource into a "finding aid鈥� of sorts, as students work through applied problems in the context of the Rules.
- PLUS鈥� A 鈥淕etting Started鈥� Overview to Federal Practice Concepts: Because many of the related core concepts of federal practice are an amalgam of law found in Rules, statutes, constitutional provisions, and case law, A Student's Guide bridges that gulf with quick, orienting discussions of central practice concepts like personal jurisdiction, subject-matter jurisdiction, removal, venue, forum non conveniens, the Erie Doctrine, and claim and issue preclusion. These distillations allow students to acquire a broad view of those related practice contexts.
- PLUS鈥� A Handy Overview of Federal Appellate Practice:A Student鈥檚 Guide also includes a concise, student-friendly overview of federal appellate practice.
- PLUS鈥� A Helpful Orientation to the Rulemaking Process:A Student鈥檚 Guide also includes a brief orientation for students to the process of federal rulemaking, how the Rules originally came into existence, and how they are amended.
