Dear Colleagues,
In response to the discussion about the far-reaching changes to the
Federal Civil Rules of Procedure, we have posted a 5 minute video
featuring the authors of the Federal Civil Rules Handbook. The authors,
Steven Baicker-McKee and Professor William Janssen, discuss the dramatic
amendments to the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, and why every major
rule and form is changing on December 1, 2007. The video can be found
under the "What's New for Law Librarians" section at:
www.west.thomson.com/librarian <http://www.west.thomson.com/librarian> .
The changes have mostly come about as a result of a comprehensive
overhaul by a federal style committee. There are stylistic and
substantive changes, and all the forms have changed as well.
Thomson West has published the Federal Civil Rules Handbook just in time
for the coming rule changes. All rule changes will be in this volume,
along with all the new forms, and a great deal of annotated commentary.
There will also be a "roadmap" at the end of each rule indicating the
Style Project changes and the non-stylistic (substantive) changes to the
rules.
We hope this information will be helpful to you.
Regards,
Lori
