A comprehensive, video-based study course on United States federal civil procedure for law students and Uniform Bar Examination candidates. Adapted from Professor Jonathan A. Caldwell’s doctrinal treatise, it moves from the power of the court through Erie, pretrial litigation, jury trial, dispositive motions, judgments and preclusion, to appellate review — with a narrated lecture and a Knowledge Check for each of the 22 chapters.
