Civil Procedure II

This three-credit course explores personal jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, the Erie doctrine, service of process, venue, removal, and appeals, among other topics. Civil Procedure II addresses areas of law 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.
