Erie study questions

Here are the last old exam questions I will post for this semester for my civ pro class. They all have some Erie element to them.

Many new practice questions

For this year's civpro class: Here are many essay and multiple choice questions and answers that are on material that we have covered up to this point. Note: recent SCt cases, such as Daimler may not be taken  into account in the model answer. Many of these overlap with the ones I posted on 11/9, but this is a more comprehensive set.

Essay questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19

Multiple choice questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26

New Paper on SSRN

Just posted a new paper on SSRN. I argue for the following limit on states' power to regulate the procedure of federal courts: Their power cannot be vertical. They cannot direct their law solely to federal courts within their borders. This may not seem that significant, but it is surprising how often law professors and federal judges have assumed that vertical power exists. They're wrong.

Yet more practice questions

Again for my current civ pro class. Here are more practice questions.

Many new practice questions

This is for my current civ pro class. Here are many practice questions that you should be able to do now. Note that recent SCt cases, such as Daimler, may not be included in the model answers.
