Advanced Civil Procedure

This course explores subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, venue, removal, the Erie doctrine, and class actions among other topics. Advanced Civil Procedure addresses topics formerly covered in the second semester of our year-long Civil Procedure course, and so may be fairly characterized as foundational --not just for prospective litigators, but also for aspiring non-litigators who, as corporate lawyers, tax lawyers, trusts and estates lawyers, real estate lawyers, intellectual property lawyers, and others, practice law in the shadow of civil litigation.
