Features: This book is an excellent textbook written by Professor Stephen C. Esler of the University of California Law School. It has been refined through years of teaching and effectively discusses the theory and practice of litigation. The book primarily outlines the system of American civil litigation from three aspects: jurisdiction, specific procedures, and class actions. It provides detailed explanations of specific civil litigation procedures such as the pleading and answer process, discovery procedures, trial procedures, and appellate procedures. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the background knowledge, followed by typical cases and detailed, engaging analyses, emphasizing the close connection between theory and practice. The book is well-structured and scientific, allowing instructors to flexibly arrange the order of chapters taught. Therefore, it is not only a necessary reference book for studying American civil litigation law but also a model textbook for legal education.
