1st Impressions of 1st Reading Assignments: Civil Procedure

Thirty pages on how a complaint should be written. Not exactly the most fascinating read. In fact, it's one of the more painful reads in recent memory. Have yet to finish the reading but so far I understand that the codes - set of laws preceding the FRCP ? - require more detail than FRCP 8(a) when writing out a complaint. Of course, how much detail is enough and how much detail is too much is a matter of debate. Also, FRCP 8(a)(2) requires that the complaint state a claim for which there is a remedy with a distinction made between absolute and conditional privilege.

More on this later if I feel up to it.
