We will also tackle the Erie cases, one of the more challenging areas in Civil Procedure, and one that raises questions about our uniquely American form of government. Fourteen class assignments for this semester are listed on the following pages. Note that in addition to the casebook, we will again be using the supplement, which contains the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as federal statutory and constitutional materials. Even more so than in the Fall, it is critical that you read and study the rules and statutes very carefully in conjunction with your study of the materials in the casebook. Miscellaneous information about office hours, attendance requirements and the examination is included on the last page of this handout.
Probable format is mostly short essays in rolling hypo format.
You may not bring any material into the exam except for your supplement containing the Federal Rules and Statutes. Your grade on this semester's exam will be averaged with your grade from last semester. First, you need to subscribe to the list. When you subscribe, you may receive an automated confirmation request. If you do, follow the directions therein to the letter.
