Constitutional Law 2010 Case Supplement

This heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version of the hardbound book is printed on 8 ½ x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.The Fourth Edition of Federal Courts in the 21st Century is leaner, with tighter focus on the areas usually covered in upperclass courses on Federal Courts or Federal Jurisdiction. The material in chapters on Aggregative Procedure, mostly covering class actions, and on Expanding and Restricting Complex Federal Litigation, covering the likes of various joinder devices, venue and forum non conveniens, and multidistrict litigation has largely been eliminated. A new Chapter 11 on Doctrinal and Statutory Restrictions on Federal Jurisdiction Related to State-Court Litigation, following the chapters on federal courts' statutory jurisdiction, covers the abstention doctrines and the Anti-Injunction Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 2283, previously treated in the complex-litigation chapter. And earlier coverage in the class-actions chapter of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 (CAFA) now is part of a new section at the end of Chapter 8 on Diversity and Alienage Jurisdiction. The new section is devoted to the three forms of minimal-diversity federal-court jurisdiction presently on the books — statutory interpleader; the Multiparty, Multiforum Trial Jurisdiction Act of 2002; and CAFA.The chapters covering areas affected by the Jurisdiction and Venue Clarification Act of 2011 (JVCA), particularly Chapter 8 on Diversity and Alienage Jurisdiction and Chapter 10 on Removal, have been extensively revised to take account of the many (and positive) changes made by the JVCA. Chapter 8 also has a new principal case, Hertz Corp. v. Friend, in which the Supreme Court settled a circuit split over interpretation of a corporation's "principal place of business" for diversity purposes.The Fourth Edition has a new, concluding Chapter 18 on Federal Jurisdiction in Time of War and in an Age of Terrorism. This chapter's principal case is the Supreme Court's major 2008 decision in Boumediene v. Bush on habeas corpus for alien enemy detainees at the United States military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This chapter brings together themes from several aspects of the course - the role of the federal courts, separation of powers, the permissibility of "jurisdiction-stripping" legislation, the use of non-Article III federal tribunals, and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. Included are background on the use of military commissions in United States history; discussion of executive, judicial, and legislative responses to the attacks of September 11, 2001; the Boumediene case itself; and developments since that decision, providing a timely, interesting capstone for the course.

LexisNexis

An underlying theory of this book is that there is no "plain meaning" to Article III or to statutes defining federal jurisdiction and those creating federal rules of procedure. Concepts such as due process, habeas corpus, the right to jury trial, Article I and Article III courts, abstention, class actions, and jurisdiction are, in the final analysis, all judicial constructs, ever subject to the winds of change. This casebook was the first to discuss the 1996 legislation limiting habeas corpus and death-row appeals and the Supreme Court's decision interpreting this legislation. It was also the first casebook to discuss the Supreme Court's new view of the Eleventh Amendment and of Congress' power to waive a state's sovereign immunity. A developing area is the threat to the predominance of Article III judges—constitutionally life-tenured and protected from salary reduction—from escalating reliance by Congress on other forums to resolve federal rights. This book stresses issues of distribution of power within the federal court system itself. 
 The Third Edition of Federal Courts in the 21st Century discusses the latest cases interpreting Article III's case and controversy requirements as a limit on access to the federal courts. Further, this text treats the evolving role of the federal courts in limiting actions of state governments and state officials. It also provides substantial discussion of issues of federal venue, transfer, and law applied in diversity and alienage cases, because of the continued importance of these areas and in recognition that these subjects more and more are being given short shrift in curtailed Civil Procedure courses in the first year.
 Changes reflected in the Third Edition include significant revisions of the chapters dealing with class actions, habeas corpus, and Article I courts. The authors have also added a new chapter on federal common law. A section addressing attempts to try "foreign enemy combatants" before military commissions has also been added. All material has been revised and updated to reflect current developments, recent cases, and important law review scholarship.

Federal Courts in the 21st Century

Linda S. Mullenix

Excerpt from the Preface: Both the title of our book and its content reflec the combination of interests that we brought to the endeavor. One of us comes to the teaching of federal courts by way of history and constitutional law, the other by way of practice and procedure. Our collaborative effort has resulted in rethinking the entire subject. The point of view can be simply stated: The words of article III, providing for the jurisdiction of the federal court, are opaque - the meaning that has been given to them by the courts and by Congress is not the only possible one. Understanding the implications of article III and the jurisdictional statues Congress has enacted will not, in our opinion, be found through a search in history for a "true meaning." Rather the search is for the choices that were open to the drafters of the Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789 and for the changes in the interpretations given to the written language. There is comprehensive coverage of the practice and procedure in the federal courts - joinder of parties nad claims, class actions, appellate review, and the requisites of subject-matter jurisdiction in federal question and diversity cases.
