The Seventh Edition includes the latest developments in pretrial practice while enhancing the useful features of previous editions. The 2007 amendments to the federal rules are covered throughout, and the sections on pleading have been updated to discuss federal court pleading requirements in light of Bell Atlantic v. Twombly. Law professors and students praise the book's comprehensive coverage, thorough analysis of rules and procedures, balanced presentation of theories and skills, enjoyable writing style, and helpful questions and problems. It reflects 21st-century practice with the growing use of electronic discovery and court orders, the expanded use of pre-hearing discovery and motions in arbitrations and administrative hearings, and new procedural rule and case law developments across the spectrum of pretrial practice.

The sixth edition of Pretrial Litigation in a Nutshell addresses both the law governing pretrial litigation and the legal skills required for successful practice in this area. The text is fully updated to incorporate the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, the Federal Courts Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act of 2011, and other recent statutes and judicial decisions. Although the text's focus is on federal statutes and rules, the pretrial litigation skills discussed are essential to successful pretrial litigation in both state and federal courts. The text coverage proceeds in the same order as does most pretrial litigation, starting with client interviewing and the establishment of the attorney-client relationship, then considering pretrial planning and investigation, the complaint and responses to the complaint, disclosure and discovery, pretrial motion practice (including summary judgment motions), pretrial conferences and orders, and settlement.
