My worst first semester casebook. It’s got the important cases, some of which were interesting. I liked the class and find the subject matter pretty interesting. But as far as textbooks go, this one doesn’t add much value. They included the fundamental cases you’d find in any casebook on civil procedure. That’s nothing special. We often had to look outside the textbook for better examples of the less central topics. And the explanatory notes and hypotheticals confused more than clarified. I don’t believe this textbook did any favors in helping to learn civil procedure.

author uses this text in his course at Tulane Law, and spends, no shit, the first four weeks or so on pennoyer v. neff, and then tracks through the rest of the standard SCOTUS personal jurisdiction cases for another month. textbook is not so unbalanced as the course, but godsdammit it's awful stuff.

Fucking evil. Do not recommend. Will cause a mental breakdown at some point. Probably the night before your final.
