You can also refer to the Rules online, but you must be ready to apply these rules on the fly during class, so I suggest you just spend the $25 to buy a supplement. I recommend LegalPub's compact and inexpensive Federal Civil Rules Booklet ( /product-federal-rules-of-civil-procedure.html).
Any supplement containing the most recent version of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (including perhaps the one you might have purchased for the Yeazell book).2019), Aspen, ISBN 978-1-4548-9788-0 (the 10th edition is fairly substantially different from the 9th, so while you could struggle through with the 9th, you're better off getting and using the 10th). Yeazell & Schwartz, Civil Procedure (10th ed.and ultimately, synthesize the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the rules of former adjudication (preclusion) to analyze and evaluate fact hypotheticals to determine a litigant-client's legal position with respect at any given stage of a civil litigation case.interpret any given provision of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, both in isolation and in the broader context of the Rules and general practice within the federal civil justice system.differentiate among the various forms of discovery, and understand the limitations and potential of each type for pursuing information, including the financial implications of each.assess and evaluate federal civil complaints, answers, and pre-trial motions for compliance with legal requirements, appreciate lawyers' ethical obligations when drafting such documents, and develop strategies for both plaintiffs and defendants in advancing these documents.appreciate and explain to a litigant-client the various stages of a civil case in federal court, including the enforcement of judgments, and assess the potential financial benefits and burdens of pursuing or defending such a case.The principle focus of the rules covered in this course will be the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, because of their high profile, careful drafting, voluminous and easily accessible case analysis by generally thoughtful federal judges. The various courts (state and federal) in this country have various procedures, but all of them share a common core, which will be the focus of this class. As the case file supplement demonstrates, the rules of civil procedure are often just as decisive of the end result of a dispute as the applicable substantive rules (if not more so).
Most importantly, it focuses on how competent lawyers can strategically use the procedural rules to advance the interests of their clients, before, during, and after a litigated dispute.
On the contrary, since only a small fraction of disputes actually make their way into, let alone through, the court process, this course is practically best understood as an exploration of the (quite negative) alternatives to the most common dispute resolution outcome: settlement. This course is not just for litigators, however. After this course, law students can finally begin to feel as though they are clearly on the path to becoming lawyers, as opposed to any other well-educated members of our society. It explores what lawyers really do in civil litigation, effectively navigating the process and rules governing how civil disputes (that is, excluding criminal cases) are routed through the courts and the effects of judgments rendered by those courts. This course covers an area of law that clearly distinguishes "lawyers" from all others.
