Civil Procedure in Practice, Volume Ii: Adjudication Process & Result

Publisher Marketing: The author designed this book on current education research. The book includes learner objectives, case studies, law summaries, skills and ethics paths, practice vignettes, court forms, sample pleadings and court papers, and career advice. Its design is to help you place civil procedure in its practice context, develop a professional identity, and give you greater control over your learning. In its report Educating Lawyers, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching urged reforms to integrate skills and ethics into the doctrinal dimension of law, to foster an apprenticeship of practice. This book is an example of the innovation that gives Western Michigan University Cooley Law School its preeminence at practice preparation.
