Description

Award-winning author and professor Laura E. Little has updated her approachable and practical study guide to what is considered one of the most challenging and abstract subjects in the law. Examples & Explanations for Federal Courts grounds the law of federal courts for students by providing brief textual introduction to doctrines, as well as examples, analytical answers, and graphical depictions of the legal doctrine. The new edition of this highly acclaimed volume maintains the straightforward Examples & Explanations format while including many important cutting-edge developments in the field, and documenting the renewed interest in federal courts and federal jurisdiction reflected in U.S. Supreme Court decisions.
