Litigating In America: Civil Procedure In Context (Coursebook Series)

Designed to introduce American civil litigation and process to a wide audience: foreign LL.M. students, beginning American law students, undergraduates interested in law, and foreign lawyers, judges, and law professors. This succinct new paperback <b>Litigating in America: Civil Procedure in Context</b> explains the institutional bases and legal meaning of our procedural system, and captures American civil process at a time of change. It presents American civil procedure from several vantage points: the procedural doctrine that has evolved over time; the practical implications of that doctrine; the social context in which the doctrine grew, is used and abused; and the global context of how other systems may have made different choices. It is an excellent supplement to any casebook. <p class="copymedium"> The highly respected authors combine their distinctive skills to create the ideal teaching tool: </p> <ul> <li class="copymedium"> Stephen Subrin is nationally known for his scholarship in the field of civil litigation and procedure, and he is the senior author of Aspen's popular casebook <i>Civil Procedure: Doctrine, Practice, and Context, Second Edition</i> </li> <li class="copymedium"> Margaret Woo is a leading teacher and scholar in comparative law, who brings her sociological, anthropological and legal expertise to the book. She is the co-editor of East Asian Law: Universal Norms and Local Culture (Routledge 2003). </li> </ul> <p class="copymedium"> This new text: </p> <ul> <li class="copymedium"> explains American civil litigation and procedure and the social/historical/economic context out of which it evolved </li> <li class="copymedium"> explores the major themes underlying American legal institutions and civil litigation </li> <li class="copymedium"> captures American civil process at a crucial time of change in the early twenty-first century </li> <li class="copymedium"> highlights the interplay between legal rules, doctrine, practice, and culture </li> <li class="copymedium"> covers all stages of civil litigation through the use of one hypothetical litigation </li> <li class="copymedium"> provides data and results of empirical studies to dispel myths about American civil litigation </li> <li class="copymedium"> presents the American legal system within a global context </li> <li class="copymedium"> is accessible to a wide range of audiences, including American and foreign law students, lawyers, judges, undergraduates, and graduates who want to understand American civil litigation and law </li> </ul> <p> Please visit the new companion website to learn more about this book. </p> <p> Website: <a href="http://www.aspenlawschool.com/subrin_woo" target="_blank"> http://www.aspenlawschool.com/subrin_woo</a> </p> <p> </p>
