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.

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.

The most respected casebook on the subject, this sophisticated classic provides a fairly detailed overview and then in-depth coverage of the major problem areas, giving law students a solid and complete grounding. Retaining prior editions' range and depth of coverage, while undergoing a thorough rewriting to make it ever more smooth and logical, the tenth edition covers such major new cases as Tombly and Iqbal, and it fully incorporates the new rules of December 2009. This versatile coursebook can serve the most profound civil procedure course as well as a modern compact course with as few as three semester hours--thanks to its flexible structure, it fosters diverse teaching methods.
