This book reflects the impact of contemporary developments in civil procedure without losing sight of the fact that much of civil procedure still concerns traditional rules and mechanisms and time-honored policies. The chronological order of this book roughly follows that of a lawsuit - preceding from the initial complaint and pleadings to appeal and effect of judgment. This book also examines the policies and mechanisms of the American adversary system, including criticisms of the system and the procedural innovations that attempt to remedy the shortcomings. The authors include interdisciplinary materials reflecting practices in other countries and various states to introduce readers to alternative ways of dealing with various procedural issues.

Not the best subject, not the greatest casebook,
By A. Luch "_aya_" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach (American Casebook Series and Other Coursebooks) (Hardcover)
This is just TOO much, TOO soon for people just entering law school. EXTREMELY dry, and way too much info before the previous concepts have been explained clearly enough. Some chapters are better than others, but overall it's a headache. Perfect for law profs and treatise writers, confusing for the regular 1L.

Poor case editing,
By Poor student (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach, Updated 4th Edition (Hardcover)
Great case selection, but poor editing. Way too much irrelevant material. As I have personal experience with Prof Marcus, I have to think it's the fault of the other two junior casebook authors. Marcus himself gives incredibly succinct answers to complex questions. My suggestion if you have problems with the book is to email him a question!

An excellent casebook on Civil Procedure,

This review is from: Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach (American Casebook Series) (Hardcover)
This was my casebook for my first-year Civil Procedure class, and although I was not thrilled with the prospects of spending a year sorting through the quagmire of the F.R.Civ.P. this book made life and the rules much easier. If you have a choice as to which casebook to use, I would recommend this one.
