Civil Procedure: Theory and Practice

Description
Because of the two recent Supreme Court decisions, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v. Brown and J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, Chapter 2 has been restructured. After a basic introduction to the concepts of general and specific jurisdictions, the chapter takes up the Supreme Court’s specific jurisdiction cases chronologically, culminating with McIntyre. We then move to general jurisdiction, discussing Perkins and Helicopteros in note material and use Goodyear as the principal case. We also review changes made in the 2011 Federal Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act. This edition integrates the Supreme Court’s decisions in Shady Grove Orthopedic Assocs. v. Allstate Ins. Co., a major ruling of the Rules Enabling Act; Ashcroft v. Iqbal, the latest installment in the Court’s most recent major statement on the requirements of Rule 23 for the certification of class actions. It also restructures and expands the discussion of arbitration in the chapter on ADR to account for major developments in the area of class-wide arbitration. And, responding to feedback from our adopters, we have tightened several chapters and added further social science perspectives throughout.
