Civil Procedure, Elon University

This basic procedure course explores the techniques for attaining judicial enforcement of substantive rights. Topics such as venue, pleadings, joinder of claims and parties, discovery, res judicata, and trial and appellate review are covered. Federal and state jurisdiction also are examined, including the Constitutional aspects of such jurisdiction. Several Law instructors at Elon University possess undergraduate degrees in literary studies and remain interested in developing further courses that use literature, including a more traditional 'Law and Literature' course.
