Moore's Federal Practice is the backbone of any federal litigator's library. Comprehensive and authoritative, Moore's is written by the judges, lawyers, and professors who write and amend the federal rules.
Moore's Federal Practice is LexisNexis Matthew Bender's flagship treatise on federal civil, criminal, appellate, and admiralty procedure.
- The original edition was written by the late Professor James William Moore, one of the original drafters of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, in 1938. From its initial publication, Moore's instantly became the standard reference work on federal court procedure and has been cited thousands of times in federal court decisions.
- The current 3rd Edition, first published in 1997, represents a complete overhaul of this classic work, authored by over 50 distinguished federal judges, law professors, and practitioners, including many who, like Professor Moore, have been directly involved in the federal rulemaking process.
- Moore's 33 volumes include the full text of the federal rules and extensive commentary and analysis of the rules and cases interpreting the rules.
- The publication has been fully updated to reflect the 12/1/07 restyling amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The extensive updates include a complete replacement of the Civil Rule Volumes (1 through 14) in the December 2007 release.
Chapters include historical appendices describing development of the law, legislative history, advisory committee notes, etc. Also includes discussion of procedure in admiralty and bankruptcy cases.
33 volumes; loose-leaf; updated with revisions
