This book is a collaborative effort by 14 law school professors to provide a deeper understanding of leading civil procedure cases. The professors each authored a short chapter on one of the cases, retelling the case in their own voice and by their own method. Each chapter contains sections on social and legal background of the case; factual background of the case; lower court proceedings in the case; final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions; factual postscript to the case; immediate impact of the case on the development of the law; and continuing importance of the case today.

A wonderful series,
By KB (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Civil Procedure Stories (Law Stories) (Paperback)
As everyone knows, stories are the most interesting way to present anything. I love this series of books. Not only does one understand the law a thousand times better with context, but I am much more likely to remember the case if I know the story. I have read this book and the book in the series on criminal procedure. I love law, and I intend to read all the books in this series eventually. It's like taking a course on the subject from the best professor. Of course with so many writers, the stories vary in quality. A couple of the writers achieved a boring presentation, even with a good story to tell. At least one writer had an axe to grind, but I still learned a lot from that one. The best recommendation is that I intend to read the whole series: they are that good.

This review is from: Civil Procedure Stories (Law Stories Series) (Paperback)
This book uses a series of key cases with detailed social and legal environment and background to provide a full picture of the subject. Fully agreed with the author's approach of studying fewer cases in detail to develop full understanding and development on the subject rather than studying too many cases attempting to grasp the development of the subject by bits.
