LAW OF FEDERAL-COURTS - WRIGHT,CA

Professor Wright's Law of Federal Courts has successfully progressed through five editions-with the previous edition published twelve years ago. In the past twelve years, important new case law, significant new statutes, and controversial new rules have been implemented in the federal courts. In his review of the latest edition of the hornbook that Mr. Frank deems ''essential,'' the reviewer compliments Professor Wright's objective treatment of controversial developments as well as the hornbook's breadth of coverage. Mr. Frank highlights those subjects addressed particularly well in the hornbook and warns readers of sections that will certainly experience expansion in the coming years, most notably Rule 26 defining discovery practice in the federal courts.
