The 6th Edition retains the features that have made it a classic Pretrial Litigation textbook. Litigation documents from an actual case and related exercises give students realistic experience with all aspects of modern Pretrial Litigation. Excerpts from popular nonfiction and fiction litigation raise ethical and other real-life lawyering issues. The Sixth Edition incorporates recent Supreme Court decisions and other developments in areas such as pleading and professional responsibility. Most significantly, the text is current through the 2018 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, with significantly rewritten text concerning electronic discovery law and practice.
