Effective December 1, 2006, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to reflect changes in discovery resulting from the electronic storage of information. CALI's lessons do not yet reflect these amendments. As each lesson is revised to reflect the amended rules, the lesson's catalog description will be updated to enable students and faculty to easily tell which lessons include the amended rules.

This exercise discusses sufficiency of pleadings, counterclaims, impleader, joinder of parties, intervention and related issues of jurisdiction as these issues arise under FRCP 8, 9, 13, 14, 19 and 24.

Students are presented with a hypothetical followed by six problems in which the issues listed above are presented. Some of these issues are tested in more detail than others. These issues of civil procedure are typically considered in the second semester of a first year course.
