Publisher's summary

This audiobook provides legal briefs for the top 100 cases that have formed the foundation of civil procedure in the United States.

Each case brief will cover the facts, procedural history, issue, holding, rule, reasoning, disposition, dissents, or concurrences.

Civil procedure can be one of the most difficult areas to study in the law. This audiobook will go over some of the most important cases that have shaped civil procedure over the decades. You'll learn everything from jurisdiction, venue, how to plead a complaint properly, and even an overview of class actions. The most important part of each case will be the holding and rationale, so you can use these cases to apply to future fact patterns you encounter both in studying for a bar exam or practicing the law.

Also included is our civil procedure course outline. This outline is detailed and comprehensive, covering everything you might expect to learn in a typical law school civil procedure course.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Certainly not for everybody

Indeed, this is probably for very few. Do you like picking through case summaries from jurisdictions all over the USA, sizing up their rationales from quick sketches? I thought not. But I actually do like it. It does for me what a beer after work does for Joe Six-Pack.

Terrible

I am returning to civil litigation after 15 years and wanted a refresher. The audio is simply a recitation of the federal rules together with various court holdings, but does not discuss, or even mention by name, any of the caselaw interpreting the rules. There is no discussion of the fun facts and circumstances of federal case law, so it's incredibly boring and difficult to listen to just ruling after ruling with no context of the caselaw they came from. The caselaw is summarized in the poorly-written guide. Full of grammatical errors, missing some rulings, and clearly not written by a lawyer, it seems nobody proofread the written guide before publishing. Here's a sample: "The law would be Scotland, as the courts determined that the UK would be better suited court."
