The Fourth Edition and its three paperback break-outs offer detailed information about the current use of ADR techniques in a variety of settings. In its treatment, for example, of the problem of arbitration agreements in employment contracts and other contracts of adhesion, or recent controversies over mediator ethics, mediator credentialing, and required participation in court-ordered mediation, it contains abundant and timely discussion found in no other book on the market. The Teacher’s Manual contains a large number of detailed exercises for classroom use.

Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach, Updated 4th Edition

(This Updated 4th Edition revises the casebook to account ...)

This Updated 4th Edition revises the casebook to account for the restyling of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The pagination has not changed from the 4th Edition (2005). Students will be alerted to the new numbering and wording of the Rules; but teachers can continue to use their current versions of the 4th edition as originally published. On December 1, 2007, the restyled Federal Rules went into effect. The hope is that this restyling will pay dividends for decades, and that beginning law students will be among the first beneficiaries. For them, the restyled rules will be the only rules they will know in their professional careers. We assume that most teachers will have their students read and learn from the restyled rules. But this watershed does not change what's in the decided cases under the rules as they were written before Dec. 1, 2007. So students may find it unnerving for their rule pamphlets to say something different from what they find quoted in the cases in the casebook. The Updated 4th Edition is designed to deal with these issues. It has been changed only to reflect changes in numbering or wording of the rules that resulted from the restyling project. Teachers who have been using the 4th edition as published in 2005 can continue to use it; they need not start working afresh with the updated 4th edition. To facilitate that continued use of the existing book, we will soon circulate a listing of the changes in this revised edition. Teachers will therefore be able simply to annotate their copies of the original 4th edition and have the equivalent of what the students possess in the updated 4th edition. In addition, the authors have added an Appendix including two post-publication decisions that were previously handled by circulating edited versions suitable for class handouts--Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly and Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Allapattah Services, Inc. The authors have included footnotes on the pages where they recommend substituting these cases to refer readers to them. In 2009, we expect to publish the 5th edition. That will, of course, be based on the restyled rules, but it move far beyond the minimal accounting for small numbering and wording changes resulting from restyling. We are pleased to announce that Professor James Pfander, of Northwestern University Law School, will be a new co-author on the 5th edition.

For 30 years, this casebook has been the staple of Complex Litigation courses. It covers a wide variety of cases – civil rights, mass torts, securities, consumer rights – and provides a strong foundation for classroom coverage regarding any type of complex litigation. The current edition retains the book's familiar broad coverage while adding coverage of important recent developments. The class action chapter includes the recent Supreme Court class-action decisions. The first chapter has been revised to provide more consideration of the role of complex litigation in private enforcement of public norms. The book's treatment of multidistrict litigation has grown substantially in recognition of its increasing prominence, including a new section on the BP Oil Spill litigation. The treatment of electronic discovery takes account of ongoing changes in practice and further revisions expected in the Federal Rules. As in the past, teachers will be able to address a variety of contemporary issues using this book. And as in the past, teachers will receive further support in preparing to address these changing subjects. A comprehensive Teachers' Manual and annual Teachers' Updates are expected.
