For two decades Examples & Explanations: Civil Procedure has helped students understand the intricacies of civil procedure. Professor Glannon, using the extremely successful Examples & Explanations format that he created, teaches students about civil procedure in an entertaining and elucidating way. Now in its Sixth Edition, this amazing study aid continues to provide clear, engaging introductions to the principles of civil procedure, together with appealing examples that illustrate how these principles apply in typical cases.

Students and professors are united in their high regard for this text that helps make a difficult subject accessible:

  • Professor Glannon's unique and entertaining style engages students and helps them to more easily understand difficult concepts
  • Clear and accessible introductions and explanations cover all aspects of the first-year course including the difficult areas of res judicata, collateral estoppel, personal and subject matter jurisdiction, and three chapters on various aspects of the Erie doctrine
  • The proven and popular examples and explanations format is highly effective for learning and applying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
  • Examples progress gradually from simple to challenging and build students' confidence
  • The frequent use of visual aids including diagrams, charts, and documents helps students grasp complicated ideas

The Sixth Edition has been completely updated throughout, and all citations reflect the most current law. In addition:

  • A new chapter on joinder analyzing Rules 19 and 24
  • Revisions to reflect the extensive 2007 stylistic amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

Give your students the help they need to master difficult topics. Be sure to recommend this highly acclaimed study guide--tested by students, instructors, and time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent supplement for Law Students, October 10, 2009
This review is from: Examples & Explanations: Civil Procedure, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
I purchased this book to help me with my Civil Procedures course. I am a first year law student, and I am in an evening program. I work a regular job in Retail Bank Management, and juggle school, hobbies, and family, so my time is precious to me. I don't have time to spend sorting through supplements and slogging through information that seems to carry me further and further from understanding what I need to 1) have good input in class discussions, 2) not make a fool out of myself when called on randomly to discuss cases, and 3) do well on my exams.

This supplement has been an incredible resource for me. As the first six weeks of class slipped by, I found myself feeling a little lost in Civil Procedures. Two weeks before the midterm I was floundering. I had briefed every assigned case, outlined course reading, and worked problems that our class tutor posted on TWEN. I was still slightly confused. Then I bought this book. Without doing all of the work, this would have never been useful to me. So please don't think that this supplement will be your "cliff's notes" for Civil Procedure. However, if you just need extra help, Glannon delivers like gang-busters. This book is well organized, easy to follow (once you have done your homework), and most of all it is effective. Having just taken the mid-term, I have nothing but rave reviews for how this book enhanced my preparation for that exam.

Overall, I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the first-year E+E's, August 5, 2009
By 
UofL 2L "law student" (Louisville, KY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Examples & Explanations: Civil Procedure, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
I had every E+E last year and Glannon's Civ Pro was by far the best. The book does an excellent job of covering most of the first semester stuff like jurisdiction and the erie doctrine. Though it wasn't as useful second semester, it was worth it for the first semester material alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource - well worth the $, May 13, 2009
By 
1L (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Examples & Explanations: Civil Procedure, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
This E&E is an excellent resource - it breaks down topics that can easily be daunting into manageable sections, and by the time you're finished with a chapter, the doctrine/rules make perfect sense. For a civil procedure course, going through these types of examples is probably your best bet in getting the rules to stick in your mind.
I would recommend spending the money on this book solely for the chapters on joinder, which are exceptionally well written.
