Description
CIVIL PROCEDURE 2 builds on Civil Procedure I by covering key subjects of special importance to litigators. These include choice of forum which addresses questions concerning a court's power to hear a particular dispute, and the parties' options in selecting between or among courts. Topics usually covered include further in-depth treatment of jurisdiction, as well as venue, forum non conveniens, and rules governing joinder of multiple parties and multiple claims. The subjects also include choice of law, which involves questions about which forum's law will apply to a particular dispute. Topics usually covered include when state or federal law applies (i.e., in-depth treatment of the "Erie Problem"), when the law of different states or nations may apply (i.e., conflicts of law), and advanced issues in the law of preclusion.
