Abstract

BOO K REVIEWS 2008] 513 partin g a first-hand knowledge of th e EC J' s ponderous judicial style, but I doubt that's worth many pages in first-year materials. III. As civil procedure courses shrink to make room in the first-year curriculum for other classes, including classes in international or comparative law, some civil procedure professors may be reluctant to add global perspectives to their first-year courses. Other procedural- ists may welcome the opportunity. For those who share the Straus- sian notion of teaching international legal materials pervasively throughout the curriculum, the Main book offers a welcome addi­ tion to a large and growing collection of materials with which to broaden and enliven the procedure course. But there's much to be said for teaching procedure pervasively too, and bringing a procedu­ ral focus to the first-year course on legal research and writing or the first-year course in international legal problems. Either way, Main's book offers a welcome resource for first-year professors looking for a way to build a global component into a course that, perhaps more tha n others in the first-year curriculum, invites a trans-boundary perspective.
