Description: 

This book is a collaborative effort by fourteen law-school professors to provide a deeper understanding of the great civil procedure cases. The professors each wrote a short chapter on one of the cases, retelling the cases in their own voice and by their own method.

Each chapter has a fairly consistent structure, with separate sections on:
• social and legal background of the case;
• factual background of the case;
• lower court proceedings in the case;
• final appellate disposition, including issues, decisions, reasons, and separate opinions;
• factual postscript to the case;
• immediate impact of the case on the development of the law (why the case is famous and when it became so); and
• continuing importance of the case today (why it is still a leading case).

The accompanying website, http://civprostories.law.cornell.edu, serves as a research tool for students, academics, and practitioners. The posted materials, which will also appear on the TWEN site accessible from http://www.lawschool.westlaw.com, comprise the following with respect to each of the cases featured in the book:
• actual pleadings and other documents figuring in the case;
• lower court opinions;
• briefs of the parties and amici curiae;
• audiotapes (which exist for all post-1954 Supreme Court decisions) and sometimes transcripts (which consistently exist post-1967 and selectively exist back to 1935) of oral arguments;
• final appellate opinion; and
• any relevant documentary or visual enhancement available.
