The Glannon Guide to Civil Procedure: Learning Civil Procedure Through Multiple-Choice Questions and Analysis

Civ Pro is not something that ever really "clicks" all at once for most students. For me, reading this book cleared up most of my confusion. Highlights of this title are Joinder, Supplemental Jurisdiction, Claim and Issue Preclusion, and the multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. I would rely on E&E for a clear picture of Erie. One thing this book does not cover is Class Actions, a topic most classes spend a decent amount of time on, although not an easy topic for a prof to test on in essay format...then again, any Class Action chapter will be outdated due to the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. All in all, get this book if you are the least bit confused about Civ Pro

This book is worth the money. I also bought Glannons E&E and its great but this definetely easier to read through and with the constrictions on your time this book doesnt get in the way.

I purchased this book by mistake, as I thought we would have multiple choice test on the final exam. I wish I had this book from day one, 1L. This is not so much of a book on multiple choice, as it is an easy to use, hornbook supplement, presented in multiple choice format.

There were small areas covered in this book that I did not find anywhere else. Coincidently, some of these areas were covered in my final exam essays.

If you are taking CivPro now, you will probably agree that Supplemental Jurisdiction, Erie v. Tompkins, and joinder issues, can get confusing. This book helps clear them up.

A great thing about this book is that is is broken into sections, so it can be used to supplement cases, and hornbook reading, and does not add too much work load to do so.

Get this book from day one of Civ Pro, and use it. It will make a huge difference in your outline taking, and exam scores.

This book is the absolute best supplementary guide to any class in the first year of law school. I survived civil procedure with this book!

I currently have Glannon as my professor for Civil Procedure, and we use his "Examples and Explanations" book as our official guide to the course. However, I was advised by other law students to pick up this book as a supplement to E&E when studying for the midterm.

In my opinion, the Glannon Guide is the better book of the two. It is easier to read (certainly faster) and the examples are completely relevant to the material. The multiple choice format is a great way to test yourself on whether you're adequately familiar with the basics. While E&E is certainly thorough, the Glannon Guide moves along quickly and nails down the rules without getting bogged down in potentially confusing details.

If you need to brush up on Civ Pro (especially if you're short on time), pick this one up.
