The 2023 Statutory and Case Supplement brings the casebook up to date. It includes three new principal cases: the Supreme Court’s Ford Motor case on general personal jurisdiction, the Supreme Court's Mallory decision on jurisdiction by registration statute, and King v. Whitmer, a district-court case imposing Rule 11 sanctions on several of the lawyers who brought frivolous cases alleging fraud in the 2020 election. The supplement also briefly describes other new developments in a short introductory section. Because the supplement includes the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and edited advisory committee notes, as well as the United States Constitution and relevant portions of the United States Code, the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, and the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, it can be used with any civil procedure casebook.
