More than most legal educators, Civil Procedure professors recognize the need to teach their students how arcane legal rules apply to real human problems. That was true when the first edition of Civil Procedure Simulations: Bridge to Practice was published over a decade ago and remains true today. But one might ask why a second edition? The Supreme Court and lower federal courts have addressed some new complex questions since publication of the first edition. The Supreme Court has failed to resolve how its due process minimum contacts analysis works for internet cases, the personal jurisdiction issue in the first edition. Instead, it has complicated basic rules involving brick and mortar defendants. Enter the same trolling reporter Mike Ridge, but since we met him in the first edition, his internet employer fired him and he is now working for a brick and mortar newspaper that is about to publish a devasting story about another young lawyer. Valentina Rossi is contemplating a run for office and Ridge wants to publish a story claiming that she and her former boss had an illicit romance, leading to the termination of an unwanted pregnancy. Although most readers might want to dig into the potentially salacious details, a proceduralist can sense a vertical choice of law issue that has divided lower federal courts: does a state's anti-SLAPP law apply in federal court? For the answers, be sure to read the new simulations.

Legal education pedagogy is transforming rapidly. These simulations bring traditional torts casebooks alive in challenging and empowering ways; bring greater clarity and mastery to tort law concepts; and bridge the study of law into the dynamic practice of law. Using modern simulations representing clients in core "bread and butter" lawyering tasks, students apply their casebook rules to conduct discovery, advise clients, correspond with counsel, draft pleadings, calculate damages, and argue motions. Students move beyond the repetition of appellate cases, incorporating statutes and using secondary sources and practitioner tools to save valuable time and resources. While emphasizing substantive tort law mastery, the simulations further demonstrate how law practice seamlessly connects procedure, substance, and skills.

Download Criminal Procedure Simulations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Legal educators are beginning to recognize the need for their students to hit the ground running when they graduate. This book is designed to helps students to do just that. It consists of nine simulations, covering a wide array of issues arising under the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, and Sixth Amendment taught in the basic Criminal Procedure course and gives students the opportunity to learn essential lawyering skills. For example, it puts students in the role of counselor, trial and oral advocate, and legal writer. Some of the chapters include role summaries and require students to present testimony before the trial court hearing the defendant's motion to suppress evidence. Others consist of transcripts of hearings and require students to present arguments to the court. Why a second edition? The Supreme Court has changed the law in some key areas, including whether an officer can search a cell phone as part of a search incident to lawful arrest. One new simulation involves an issue dividing lower courts: whether digital cameras are like cell phones. Importantly, two new simulations allow a full discussion of racial profiling in policing practices.

Download Contracts Simulations Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book brings contract law to life through contemporary problems to help students build a skill set they can use in practice. In the real world of practice, abstract contract principles are applied to specific factual settings. Facts don't arrive pre-digested and regurgitated for baby birds or law associates. This book pickpockets life for real-world documents and contemporary situations, like the pandemic, to help students learn how contract law works in practice. Each chapter provides concise discussion of a specific topic or issue in contract law and a realistic, documented problem that provides a base for students and enough material for traditional Socratic method teaching. Imperfect but real contracts will give students the chance to see how client counseling, fact-gathering and careful crafting of contract language can help clients avoid disputes. Stories from art, sports and Internet games make the contract concepts vivid and memorable to facilitate student engagement and productive classroom discussion.

Download Experiencing Civil Procedure Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This is the first primary Civil Procedure course book to incorporate skills assignments into the book. The book actively involves students in the application of civil procedure concepts. It Includes three simple simulation cases, one contracts based, one torts based and one blended case. Sample documents from real cases are also included. Students using this book will engage in experiential learning exercises, including drafting the jurisdictional allegations for complaints, drafting very simple pleadings and motions, and responding to supervisor email messages. The book contains the statutes, rules, and edited cases that are the staples of traditional Civil Procedure casebooks, incorporating them into an experiential learning approach.

Download Using a Simulated Case File to Teach Civil Procedure Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Civil procedure is a challenging course for most first year law students. Part of the challenge for our students comes from confronting new and exciting ideas about dispute resolution. But part of it also comes from the difficulty of relating the course to anything they already understand - the students lack context, and context matters. And if we don't engage them through active learning, we compound the problem. Our students arrive in our classrooms knowing something about the operation of the criminal law. (More than a few have probably experienced it more closely than they would have preferred.) They probably think they know something about the concepts that underlie our foundational courses in Torts, Contracts and Property. But few of them have had much contact with our civil dispute resolution system. As educators, we have responded by trying to provide context and engage them through active learning, by assigning them to read fictional and non-fictional accounts of cases; having them participate in litigation-oriented pro bono or clinical projects; recommending movies; passing out pleadings; using CALI exercises; incorporating moot court arguments into our courses; combining civil procedure with First Year Writing courses; inviting lawyers and/or judges as guest lecturers to talk about their cases; asking them to read stories about the background of cases we assign; using problem sets; experimenting with experiential approaches to learning; and (as an experiential approach) organizing our syllabi around simulation problems based on actual or simulated case-files. All of these strategies are potentially useful, but the most useful require a substantial time commitment, which is increasingly challenging as the number of units reserved for civil procedure is reduced. In this essay, I describe how I use a simulated case-file from which I assign regular drafting exercises that are already largely completed, so that the students only have to draft the key portion of the pleading or brief. I call this the 90% solution, since 90% of the work is already done, but the final 10% preserves most of the educational benefit of using simulation. I then review the literature on how others have addressed this problem, and on the value of context and active learning in legal education, and relate it to the benefits of using a simulated case-file using my 90% solution.
