draft of this piece. In addition, I wish to express my appreciation for the superb research assistance
of Ann Malarkey, Stephanie Dudek, Agnes Ford, Jennifer Harding, and Rachel Lowy. Special
thanks go to Enza Klotzbucher, head of the Interlibrary Loan department of the Widener University
law library, who painstakingly located and retrieved every Civil Procedure casebook published since
1875. Finally, thank you to Kevin M. Clermont and Lauren K. Robel, who urged me to write this
article.
