The casebook addresses procedures unique to California practice that are not generally presented in the first-year course in civil procedure. The case selection, notes and text all reinforce the perspective of a practitioner choosing knowledgeably between state and federal court. Cases and notes address many state/federal differences in all major areas of civil procedure, such as: pleading, discovery, right to trial by jury, alternative dispute resolution, settlement, res judicata, and appeals. Also included are topics unique to California state law, including anti-SLAPP litigation, prefiling requirements, and state choice of law rules.
