  • Office hours this week are Wednesday, May 7, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  • The examination will is “open materials” and “open computer.”  You can access materials stored on your hard drive.  You may not communicate with others by any means, including email or IM or the Internet.  You may not access the Internet, but you may store downloaded material on your hard drive.  The exam software permits you to drag and drop but not cut and paste between documents.
  • My writing and the exam.  I’ve been asked whether any of my own writing would be useful in preparing for the exam.  If you are interested in my thoughts on the fundamental themes of the course, the best piece to read is Procedural Justice, which you can download.  Pages 242-273 are the most helpful.  I do not recommend trying to work through the whole article, as it is both long and technical.
  • If you are interested in secondary materials, I suggest the following.

--Hornbook: Friedenthal, Kane and Miller's Hornbook on Civil Procedure (4th ed. 2005)

--Outline: Clermont's Black Letter on Civil Procedure (7th ed. 2004)

--Introduction:  Glannon, Civil Procedure: Examples and Explanations (5th ed. 2006)
