Student's Guide to Federal Procedure

This is a great book. It is really helpful for a student. It does more than just give the text of the rule; it provides guidance. I will probably keep this book even after graduation and probably buy each new edition to keep it up to date.

The MOST VALUABLE text for any Civ Pro class, Period.

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are a formidable thicket. This guide has been invaluable for me in breaking them down, and making them plain, understandable. The authors provide copious (but very focused), fantastic reference cases to illustrate the actual applications of the rules in federal court. I could not survive Civ Pro without this book. I even emailed the lead author about a question with one issue in Rule 4 and he wrote back the same day! Awesome

Damn Good

When you take your civ pro class for law school, get this book as your rule book. Believe me this book will make this class seem a whole lot easier.

Page Turner!

This book was fantastic! Once I started reading, I got so involved in the FRCP that I could not put it down. I declined dozens of social invitations due to my desire to memorize every rule! If you find yourself pondering the Erie Doctrine, or just want to impress your friends with your knowledge of Interpleader, this is the book for you! One more second you delay is a second of happiness delayed. You must buy this book!

Very Good

This text offers simple and well indexed definitions, rules, and explanations of civil procedure concepts and law.
