Civil Procedure: Territorial Jurisdiction and Venue (Turning Point Series)

(Clermont's Territorial Jurisdiction and Venue paints the ...)

Clermont's Territorial Jurisdiction and Venue paints the theoretical background and lays out the doctrine explaining the subject's practical importance and how it works. Introduces international and comparative aspects, as well as a firm reminder of where the law on forum fits into the structure of our own legal system. Coverage extends from the history of the law to its application in cyberspace. In brief, this book provides the theory, doctrine, and practice of territorial jurisdiction and venue.

Res Judicata: A Handbook on Its Theory, Doctrine, and Practice

(Res judicata is a major and critical topic in civil proce...)

Res judicata is a major and critical topic in civil procedure. At a mundane level, the term specifies the effect that an adjudication has on subsequent litigation. At a more profound level, it is the law that sets the boundaries on the output of the judicial branch of government. In other words, it specifies what a judgment decides and does not decide and how a judgment differs from legislation and administration. It is a policy-driven and judge-made body of law, generated independently by each of the states, by the federal system, and by each country. The book is written at a middle level of depth, between a simplistic summary of the doctrine and a personalized reformulation of the subject. The latter is the domain of difficult and theoretical law review articles, and the former is served by outlines and nutshells. The three major parts of the book cover theory, doctrine, and practice. Authors Casad and Clermont believe that attention to the basic concepts and policies underlying res judicata helps the reader understand this concept. This new book will be the only accessible, one-volume treatment of this important procedural topic. It will be useful for readers with some familiarity with the doctrine, for students reviewing the subject, or as a basic reference work.

Distorting the Law: Politics, Media, and the Litigation Crisis (Chicago Series in Law and Society)

( In recent years, stories of reckless lawyers and greedy...)

In recent years, stories of reckless lawyers and greedy citizens have given the legal system, and victims in general, a bad name. Many Americans have come to believe that we live in the land of the litigious, where frivolous lawsuits and absurdly high settlements reign. Scholars have argued for years that this common view of the depraved ruin of our civil legal system is a myth, but their research and statistics rarely make the news. William Haltom and Michael McCann here persuasively show how popularized distorted understandings of tort litigation (or tort tales) have been perpetuated by the mass media and reform proponents. Distorting the Law lays bare how media coverage has sensationalized lawsuits and sympathetically portrayed corporate interests, supporting big business and reinforcing negative stereotypes of law practices. Based on extensive interviews, nearly two decades of newspaper coverage, and in-depth studies of the McDonald's coffee case and tobacco litigation, Distorting the Law offers a compelling analysis of the presumed litigation crisis, the campaign for tort law reform, and the crucial role the media play in this process.
