This book is a collaborative effort by fourteen law-school professors to provide a deeper understanding of the great civil procedure cases. The professors each wrote a short chapter on one of the cases, retelling the cases in their own voice and by their own method. Each chapter has a fairly consistent structure, with separate sections on: social and legal background of the case; factual background of the case; lower court proceedings in the case; final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions; factual postscript to the case; immediate impact of the case on the development of the law (why the case is famous and when it became so); and continuing importance of the case today (why it is still a leading case).The accompanying website, http://civprostories.law.cornell.edu, serves as a research tool for students, academics, and practitioners.

This compact second edition focuses on a select core canon of the leading cases in civil procedure, including concurring and dissenting opinions omitted in many other casebooks. The second edition has added recent Supreme Court decisions in personal jurisdiction and amendment of pleadings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15, without adding length to the casebook. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have been updated to include rule amendments effective since the first edition. The text is based on a 14-week curriculum, with 14 chapters that provide simple guidance for working through the course. It assembles the core cases, statutes, and rules that students and professors reasonably may study in four hours of class time, and offers substitute materials for alternative weeks.
