SPRING 2008 SYLLABUS

CIVIL PROCEDURE (Mueller Section)

(Prepared January 10, 2008)

The texts for the course are the same as last semester: (1) Marcus, Redish and Sherman, Civil Procedure: A Modern Approach (4th. 2005) (MRS); (2) Glannon, Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (5th ed. 2006) (Glannon); (3) paperbound Rules of Civil Procedure with selected statutes. Please note that on Friday February 1st and on Friday February 8th we will have makeup classes at 1PM, so on those days we will meet twice. You will get those days back on the Friday before Spring Break and on the Tuesday after Spring Break. As was true in the Fall, you are invited to bring the Rules to the final exam, so please do not write words in your copy (apart from name, address, and similar identifying information). You may underscore, highlight, and place index tabs (with rule numbers) if you choose (but again I advise against it).
