Review Quotes

"Great reference material, clear and concise."

"Sure makes civil procedure tests easier."

"There's nothing better to send you into a nice, deep sleep than the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. I read this every time I have had a stressful day and Reddit cannot take my mind off the day well enough to let me become comatose. SPOILER! In a discrimination case, Rule 19(a) should not be used by a defendant when trying to bring in a third-party harasser as a necessary party."

" Almost makes the rule easy to use, without all the unnecessary comments from 1930 as to why the rules was updated 80 years ago. Just the rules, simple to use. Nice and compact."

"It is very helpful for the traveling attorney to have this concise lightweight paperback in the briefcase."

"A perfect version of the federal court rules."
