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.

(This book reflects the impact of contemporary development...)
This book reflects the impact of contemporary developments in civil procedure without losing sight of the fact that much of civil procedure still concerns traditional rules and mechanisms and time-honored policies. The chronological order of this book roughly follows that of a lawsuit - preceding from the initial complaint and pleadings to appeal and effect of judgment. This book also examines the policies and mechanisms of the American adversary system, including criticisms of the system and the procedural innovations that attempt to remedy the shortcomings. The authors include interdisciplinary materials reflecting practices in other countries and various states to introduce readers to alternative ways of dealing with various procedural issues.

It also offers carefully edited versions of recent Supreme Court cases like Ashcroft v. Iqbal and J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, along with textual and note material to identify and highlight the critical issues. The class-action section contains presentations on Wal- Mart v. Dukes and the key issues raised by the Court's decisions on class-action waivers in arbitration clauses that are appropriate for first-year students. Throughout, the material has been updated and revised to focus on the critical issues of 21st century practice.
