Civil Procedure: Theory and Practice
Files
Description
The Fifth Edition introduces Daimler AG v. Bauman, the Supreme Court’s paradigm-shifting decision on general jurisdiction, and Chapter 2 is substantially revised and reorganized to accommodate the impact of Daimler, which is now the principal case in the general jurisdiction section. The notes that follow highlight and explore some of the important questions in the aftermath of that decision. Chapter 3 has been trimmed to some extent and some details of the diversity jurisdiction are now explained in text rather than through principal cases. Throughout both chapters, we build on the robust treatment of doctrine and theory that has always been the book’s organizing principle. Chapter 5 introduces a new principal case for Rule 11, Christian v. Mattel, Inc., which offers a more recent and factually rich dispute for examination of that provision. The Fifth Edition also include substantial updates to class action doctrine in Chapter 8, foregrounding Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes and exploring developments in the standards for class certification in the aftermath of that major ruling while restructuring and streamlining the chapter to make room for the new materials. Chapter 10 presents AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion as a principal case and explores recent developments in the Court’s interpretation of the Federal Arbitration Act including a substantial treatment of American Express v. Italian Colors. And the Fifth Edition continues to provide an up-to-date comparative and international perspective in discrete, concise sections that adopters can assign or not as befits their approach to the course.
