This supplement brings the principal text current with recent developments in the law and contains the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with selected advisory committee notes and key provisions from the United States Code. It also contains selections from the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the United States Constitution that are useful for teaching Civil Procedure.

This book differs from other Civil Procedure casebooks in several ways. A new feature uses a "modular" approach, enabling you to choose from "long" (paper) and "short" (electronic) versions of several chapters (including pleading, jurisdiction, and Erie). Because of time constraints, several topics are in electronic formats only (including advanced joinder, alternate dispute resolution, and full-faith and credit). YOU have the option to select the depth of coverage for these topics. Extensive problems and exercises encourage the student to read and apply the actual rule rather than a court's paraphrasing of that rule. Extensive notes materials supplement the cases and problems. The overall result = a very teachable book for you, as well as a useful long-term desk reference for your students.
