Civil Procedure: Examples & Explanations 5th edition

Read this book before starting law school, and I was honestly confused as to why everyone always says Civil Procedure is such a hard class, when Glannon makes it soooo easy.

You know this a good supplement when even professors (who traditionally do not like supplements) are recommending is, as mine did.

I had the pleasure of taking Glannon's course in civil procedure. We used his Examples and Explanations book as the primary text. I highly recommend it. It is substantive and clearly written. In addition, the hypotheticals will leave you well prepared for an exam, no matter who your teacher.

Enough said. This, as well as all other E&E's are worth your time and money.

Glannon is great and this CivPro book is undeniably the king.

This book and several others are the gold standard for supplements in law school. And don't listen to what anyone says, reading these books is not somehow cheating yourself out learning information from the cases. Case-analysis is a vital skill but it's not what law school exams test you on. They test primarially how well you can synthesize information over the course of a semester and then apply that synthesized information to the analysis of a fact pattern in a four hour exam. The E&E series generally mimics this process very well, but the Glannon Civil Procedure book is heads above the rest.

It's such a talisman for first year law students that anyone who advises against it should be regarded with grave suspicion.

I owe an A+ in Civ Pro to this book. It's the best study guide available.
