This innovative casebook, accessible to first-year students, presents Civil Procedure not as a hodgepodge of random topics, but as a cohesive whole. 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 and original textual explication to set up consideration of cases and addresses strategic, ethical, and remedial issues encountered in civil litigation. The book is intended to be a traditional casebook combined with aspects of a treatise. The ninth edition is wholly up-to-date through federal rule amendments of 2023.

This casebook is appropriate for Civil Procedure courses of either one or two semesters.
