Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach

by Richard L. Marcus, Martin H. Redish, Edward F. Sherman

In this new edition, the authors have retained the basic structure of their successful casebook while updating materials, trimming, and substituting where needed to ensure that the material remains topical and current. Emerging personal jurisdiction problems in cases involving use of the Internet are explored. Extensive treatment of mass tort litigation has been added. Expected amendments to the discovery rules are included in the discovery chapter. Both the Supreme Court’s decision in Gasperini v. Center for Humanities and its 1999 removability decision, Murphy Brothers, Inc. v. Michetti Pipe Stringing, Inc., are included as principal cases with extensive Notes and Questions.

This book was essential to my success in Civil Procedure as the 1,370 pages detailed the ins and outs of common law, federal rules, and more! I’ve never hated myself more than when I read Pennoyer v Neff in the 2nd week of school. Do not recommend. Alexis Fuentes you might enjoy the Erie Doctrine from Erie RR v Tompkins

Loved my professor

A good textbook. Clear, definitive, exhaustive. Cases aren't edited as much as they could be, and you're gonna need the E&E to make sense of the second half of the book, but it does everything a civil procedure textbook should.

I mean - the book was a textbook. So not sure how to rate it any other way. It taught me what I needed to know. The teacher made the class, so this could have been saw dust I’d I would have enjoyed the topic.

Way too long; professor's "course packet" was much more helpful (and concise).
