The basic plan of this book is first to introduce readers to the nature of the judicial power itself and to basic issues of Congress's power over the jurisdiction, and then to follow the litigant's more or less in order through the federal courts. Chapter 2 and 3 spell out the basic contours of district - court jurisdiction in federal - question, admiralty, and diversity cases, with notes on venue and on the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction. Chapter 4 tells the student something about the applicable law governing federal proceedings, including remedies against government officers. Chapter 5 and 6 deal with limitations on the exercise of jurisdiction that cuts across the various jurisdictional categories: sovereign and official immunities a variety of statutory and judicial abstention doctrines. Chapter 7 follows the litigant into situations in which a federal court is asked to pass upon what another tribunal has already done.

Updated to include a contemporary perspective, this popular classic casebook covers important developments in several areas of civil procedure and incorporates student and professor comments on previous editions. While it retains a focus on procedural evolution, the new ninth edition also discusses cutting-edge issues, such as transnational litigation and technology's effect on jurisdictional doctrine. To make way for new material, this edition abbreviates a few older cases and commentaries and streamlines some notes.
