Federal Courts

"This third edition of Federal Courts offers a succinct account of the law governing the tribunals that exercise the judicial power of the United States. It provides lawyers and law students with a concise presentation of the constitutional principles, statutes, and judge-made doctrines covered in law school courses on the subject, typically entitled "Federal Courts" or "Federal Jurisdiction." To assist students, this book follows the subject headings, principal decisions, and commentaries emphasized in standard law school course materials. Readers who need an introduction to the basics will find it in this text; readers who need deeper analysis will find it in the exhaustive footnotes."--BOOK JACKET.
