Resources:
- Bookmark the Civil Procedure & Federal Courts Blog, maintained by civ pro prawfs extraordinaire Robin Effron, Cynthia Fountaine, and Adam Steinman, which has useful information about recent cases and scholarship.
- Follow the Federal Civil Practice Bulletin, maintained by civ pro star Ben Spencer, which also reports on recent cases and scholarship.
- Link to the Legal Scholarship Blog?s feed that is specific to civil procedure conferences, calls for papers, and workshops.
- Register here and give more senior prawfs a call about their civil procedure course secrets.
- Sign up for the Civil Procedure email listserv maintained by Notre Dame civil procedure guru Jay Tidmarsh.
- Use your SSRN subscription to get procedure-related eJournals, such as Litigation & Procedure, Law & Society: Civil Procedure, and more.
- For injecting humor into class, peruse these courtoons.
- The Southeastern Association of Law Schools ?SEALS? (your school is most likely a member or affiliate member even if it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, in the southeastern United States) puts together panels for new scholars at its annual meeting each summer. The panels are usually loosely subject-matter related, and there often are a few civil procedure panels. Get your dean to nominate you, and you?ll be assigned a mentor as well!
- If you are interested in the jurisdiction side of civil procedure, consider submitting a proposal to present, or even just attend, the annual Junior Scholars Federal Courts Workshop. This year?s workshop is sponsored by the University of Illinois College of Law.
- Get involved in the AALS sections on Civil Procedure or on Litigation.
