Summary
"This book identifies and explores the major problems now under discussion in law school courses typically denominated Federal Courts or Federal Jurisdiction. It anticipates the questions that law faculty are likely to raise in class and gives students a head start in building satisfying responses. This book also functions as an update of Professor Yackle's previous book, entitled "Federal Courts'. The third edition of that book appeared in 2009."--Amazon website.
