Civil Procedure Stories (Law Stories)

This book is a collaborative effort by 14 law school professors to provide a deeper understanding of leading civil procedure cases. The professors each authored a short chapter on one of the cases, retelling the case in their own voice and by their own method. Each chapter contains sections on social and legal background of the case; factual background of the case; lower court proceedings in the case; final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions; factual postscript to the case; immediate impact of the case on the development of the law; and continuing importance of the case today.
