Pretrial Litigation: Law, Policy and Practice (American Casebook Series)

The fourth edition of Pretrial Litigation: Law, Policy & Practice incorporates the 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as other recent changes in pretrial law and practice. The text contains significant new material concerning the Federal Rules amendments governing electronic discovery and the impact of technology on civil litigation. Allowing professors to choose how much to focus on these developments, the text contains notes and exercises concerning electronic discovery, civil actions in cyberspace (involving service, filing and personal jurisdiction) and discovery in cyberspace (raising attorney-client privilege, confidentiality, and other issues presented by the technological revolution).
