As far as law texts go this one is actual decent at covering cases and providing enough details to be able to teach yourself civil procedure of the professor is terrible.

Personal Jurisdiction, venue, subject matter jurisdiction, pleadings, motions for summary judgment, the list goes on....oh how enthralling.

I appreciate that it was concise! And for the most part, the prose doesn't take too terribly long to comprehend.
