This latest edition of the best-selling civil procedure casebook retains the flexible organization, manageable length, and accessible style that earned it the number one position in the field while incorporating a wealth of new material. Refined through years of classroom use, Yeazell's Civil Procedure has been proven effective in explaining the procedural system and demonstrating its application in practice.
Professor Yeazell builds on the strengths that make the casebook so popular:
 The text is accessible to students, without being oversimplified;
An overview of the system and the ways in which the Rules shape it;
Designed for teachability, the book offers a clear organization, concisely edited cases chosen for their suitability for first-year students, and textual notes that introduce each section and highlight connections between class material and practical problems;
Manageable length allows coverage of complex material in a limited number of hours and lets instructors supplement with collateral readings without overloading students.
In a clear and logical fashion, this highly-regarded Civil Procedure casebook first introduces the constitutional framework for civil litigation, then details the litigation process, and progresses to an exploration of complex litigation, where students see the framework in context.
