Black Letter Outline on Civil Procedure (Black Letter Outlines)

The Black Letter Outline on Civil Procedure is an exhaustively-prepared study and review aid for students. The book is designed to provide students with an easy, user-friendly, and accessible guide to the first year course in civil procedure. It is intended to provide both a quick overview of the range of civil procedure topic areas, along with an in-depth analysis of the leading case law, doctrine, rules, statutes, and theory in a standard civil procedure curriculum. The text is current through the Federal Rules Amendments effective December 1, 2003, and includes discussion of Supreme Court and federal appellate decisions through summer 2004.

In addition to textual analysis of procedural cases, rules, statutes, doctrine, and underlying theory, the book also includes sample essay exam questions with model answers. A thirty-page glossary of legal terms assists students in quickly understanding the vocabulary of civil litigation.
