• more than 40 thoughtful practice exercises
• practice exam questions
• two sample case files in the Appendix: two complete case files include transcripts, memoranda, exhibits, motions, pleadings, and more
• manageable overall length
• detailed Teacher’s Manual
New to the Third Edition:

• recent Supreme Court cases regarding pleading, summary judgment, notice, and subject matter jurisdiction
• legislative developments involving class action practice
• Coverage of the new e-discovery amendments as well as a new e-discovery exercise
