Civil
procedure covers the process of civil litigation. Two themes unite the course
material: First, how can society best provide a just and fair process for
dispute resolution? Second, how should society allocate decision-making and
dispute-resolution authority among various institutions, including courts and
legislatures, state courts and federal courts, and among various states? The
course is divided into different topics. Topic-1 introduces the basic elements
of the civil justice system, the principal institutions in civil dispute
resolution, and the major concepts and themes that will arise throughout the
course. Topic-2 focuses on the question of which courts can be used for what
types of litigation, examining the issues of personal jurisdiction, subject
matter jurisdiction, and venue. Topic-3 covers pleading and pretrial procedure,
including the filing of the complaint, the various responsive pleadings and
motions that a defendant may file, the joinder of claims and parties, discovery
of the facts, and pretrial dispositions. Topic-4 treats the binding effect of
judgments.
