• Taking Stock textboxes summarizing the main ideas and themes from each chapter.
• Beyond the Doctrine textboxes that provide distinctive perspectives on the readings from practice and academic scholarship.
• Carefully-edited excerpts from the Constitution, statutes, and Federal Rules in the text, each with their own introductions, notes, and questions. No longer is codified law consigned to a "rules supplement" to be neglected by students!

The linked online materials include:

• Case Synopsis bullet points summarizing the background and holding of each case, which students can use to develop their note-taking and outlining skills.
• Videos colorfully illustrating empirical data on the federal courts' changing caseloads and examples of distinctive legal strategies from notable cases.
• Flowcharts summarizing main ideas from each chapter in an easy-to-follow graphical format.
• Self-Assessment Quizzes with answers that students can use to test what they've learned in each chapter.

This casebook sequences its topics to optimize students' success in the 1L curriculum. It begins with a broad overview of civil procedure and then covers the Federal Rules and the stages of the civil action. Placing these topics first ensures that your students will better understand materials in their other courses, where concepts like motions to dismiss and summary judgment arise frequently. Building on this foundation, it then introduces complex litigation, including class actions, jurisdiction, the Erie problem, and arbitration.

This casebook is suitable for all first-year Civil Procedure courses.
