A case book with extensive commentary for first-year law students, introducing an area of law that exists only in the rarified realms of judicial litigation and formal dispute resolution, and so possesses a linguistic culture uncontaminated by the real world. Among the topics are service of process and notice, joinder of claims and parties, and class actions.
