2010 Mid-Year Meeting
Workshop on Civil Procedure: Charting Your Course in a Shifting Field
June 10 – 12, 2010
New York, New York
Civil Procedure is a shifting field, requiring mastery of a rapidly changing subject. A new approach to pleading, elaborate litigation financing mechanisms, expanding frontiers in preclusion law, and an increasingly detailed awareness of the landscape of civil litigation all present difficult challenges to teacher and scholar alike.
This workshop will address these important issues. It will also focus on three central pedagogical challenges: teaching the hardest cases, incorporating innovative and varied classroom methodologies, and constructing a successful course in fewer credit hours.
Our speakers will include established scholars and newer voices. The program is designed to benefit civil procedure teachers and scholars at all levels of experience.
Registration information will be sent and will also be posted online: Coming Soon.
