But so is PJ, and you can't raise that after your first answer. I thought the reason was that SMJ isn't a right that can be waived.

but Article III defines what types of cases federal courts can entertain.

This is what's killing me. I read the freer chapter on Erie and it makes so much sense and I love it, but it doesn't seem to be the way per se that my professor taught it.Stringer6 wrote:except it seems like each professor has his own take on how to do an Erie analysisJenDarby wrote:Freer lectures.

But I still want to use it since it doesn't 'conflict' with what my professor taught, it's just more of a logical extension, so I'd say they can co-exist and there's no reason to have to chose between professor or freers procedural Erie analysis.

Right. 12h3 is what you're looking for. SMJ can be brought up anytime either by motion or sua sponte. 12h1 defines which of the 12b motions you waive.3|ink wrote:Thank you.Stringer6 wrote:yes, even if it's raised for the first time on appeal. b/c subject-matter jurisdiction is a constitutional requirement.3|ink wrote:Quick civ. pro question:

You can find them on Barbri lectures. I went and saw this guy at Penn last semester. He got me an A- in civpro. Our teacher was terrible and I stopped going to class in Mid-October. Freer bought me the A-, nothing else.

Re: 1L Exam Prep and Motivation Thread
I really loathe civil procedure. The material, specifically. My notes have enormous 3-or-4-class-long gaps in them. And, in fact, at one point I got bored and wrote a poem in my notes:
Ants, ants
Ants in your pants
Taking all the time up,
Taking all your money up,
Ants, ants,
Ants doing a dance,
Using all your money
And your time
In your pants
I hope to incorporate this into my exam.
That is all.

Re: 1L Exam Prep and Motivation Thread
JD: the difference I saw was that freer says that york's outcome-determinative test is still good law and to run it in an Erie analysis.
But our professor said to run a "modified outcome determinative test, which just means talk about the twin aims of Erie. Other than that it's the same I think -- just different phrasing and freer doesn't really specifically say what to do with a federal statute conflicting with state law.
I just listened today and agree that it's gold, Jerry, gold.

Re: 1L Exam Prep and Motivation Thread
Modified outcome determinative test = outcome determinative such that the twin aims of Erie are implicated. I went to office hours a while ago and she said to just talk about the twin aims.
Edit: I think the E&E and Acing Civ Pro say the same thing as our professor.

What you have above is actually exactly what I have in the very few class notes I have.

Re: 1L Exam Prep and Motivation Thread
Our prof's model answers for Civ Pro are ridiculous. 19 pages single spaced. Goes on pretty much giving a treatise of the law for things that aren't even implicated in the fact pattern without applying any law to fact while talking about it (since it doesn't apply to the fact pattern at hand). I wonder if he just wants us to re-write the casebook in our own words, basically going against every success in law school article/book I've read.
