Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0314156135, Hardcover)

In this new edition, the authors have retained the basic structure of their successful casebook while updating materials, trimming, and substituting where needed to ensure that the material remains topical and current. Emerging personal jurisdiction problems in cases involving use of the Internet are explored. Extensive treatment of mass tort litigation has been added. Expected amendments to the discovery rules are included in the discovery chapter. Both the Supreme Court’s decision in Gasperini v. Center for Humanities and its 1999 removability decision, Murphy Brothers, Inc. v. Michetti Pipe Stringing, Inc., are included as principal cases with extensive Notes and Questions.
