Principles of Civil Procedure by
This Concise Hornbook covers the main points of civil procedure that any student needs to understand, and covers them briefly but thoroughly enough to be understandable. It focuses on the material covered in a typical law school course on civil procedure, tied to no one casebook. It breaks down the subject of civil procedure along the standard lines: a brief orientation; then a lengthier overview of the stages of litigation, followed by a close inspection of the major procedural problems (governing law, authority to adjudicate, former adjudication, and complex litigation); and finally some reflections in conclusion. It discusses specific problems and illustrations, with the aid of generously sprinkled diagrams and special text boxes. Special attention was given to fitting the civil procedure course's main points together to form the big picture, with each topic ending in a section on the “big idea” (separation of powers, vertical federalism, horizontal federalism, full faith and credit, or procedural due process) that the student is supposed to take from the topic.
Principles of Federal Jurisdiction by

It treats the enemy combatant cases, and the aftermath of Boumediene, and recent Supreme Court decisions on such diverse issues as the legal foundation of the Ex parte Young action and the nationwide injunction, the sharp restriction of the Teague retroactivity doctrine, the curtailment of the Bivens action, the reaffirmation of suits for nominal damages, and the jurisdictional nuances of consumer class action litigation.
