Civil Procedure: Cases, Materials, and Questions

by Richard D. Freer, Wendy Collins Perdue, Robin J. Effron

This innovative casebook is accessible to first-year students and exposes them to the richness of the course. Each chapter begins with an "Introduction and Integration" section, which provides an overview and indicates how the materials relate to other topics. The book features clear original textual explication to set up consideration of cases, and addresses strategic, ethical, and remedial issues encountered in civil litigation. The eighth edition is wholly up-to-date through federal rule amendments of 2020.

Sorry to the author of this casebook but I actually didn’t read this textbook. Not because I’m that kind of student but because my Civ Pro professor wrote his own textbook because he says all the Civ Pro textbooks are bad, like really bad. So this gets a 1 star by default. Final Judgment in accordance with FRCP Rule 58

My class jumped around a lot, but sometimes the text (and I) spent a lot of time on previous standards that are no longer relevant, and when you turn the page you find out all you learned was history, and you should forget it and learn this next thing.

TLDR: Read the textbook in tandem with Professor Freer's lectures on "Law School Legends" and Barbri's 1L Mastery. You will be reading the book in his voice, and everything will be much clearer. 3/5 textbook, but 6/5 lecturer.

Boring

Godawful. Full of excess fat. Read or assign Richard Freer's Civil Procedure (Aspen Treatise Series) -- not this.
