Education Thursday, August 20, 2015

 

It’s not every day that an author comprehensively covers a variety of legal theories so well in one article that the article ranks in the Top 10 for downloads in ten separate categories. 

That was the distinction for St. Thomas Law professor Patricia Moore. 

Her forthcoming article, “The Anti-Plaintiff Pending Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Pro-Defendant Composition of the Federal Rulemaking Committees,” has been listed on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) Top Ten download list in 11 different categories.

They include Federal Courts and Jurisdiction eJournal (#4), Discovery and Evidence (Topic) (#1), Litigants and the Judiciary (Topic)(#1), Pleadings, Motions and Pretrial Procedure (Topic) (#1), Procedure (Courts) (Topics) (#2), Law and Courts eJournal (#9), Law and Society: Civil Procedure eJournal (#3), Law and Society: eJournal (#3), Litigation and Procedure eJournal and Litigation (#2) and Procedure and Dispute Resolution eJournals (#5).

Moore teaches in the areas of Civil Procedure, Evidence, Pretrial Litigation and Complex Litigation. Before entering academia, Moore successfully practiced civil litigation in a national law firm. She was also recently called upon to testify before the United States Congress as an expert in civil litigation and class action lawsuits.

In addition to her recent article, her previous one, the Civil Caseload of the Federal District Courts, is now available in reprints and downloadable on Westlaw.
