Adapted From the Popular Loose-Leaf Title
For over a quarter century, The Conduct of Civil Litigation in British Columbia loose-leaf by Fraser, Horn, and Griffin, has been a cornerstone resource for the litigation bar in British Columbia. With the feedback of law professors in B.C., LexisNexis Canada has created a second edition of this textbook for B.C. law students in civil procedure.

The Conduct of Civil Litigation in British Columbia, 2nd Edition – Student Edition is a comprehensive text on civil procedure with each chapter devoted to a particular topic of civil practice and procedure such as limitations, choice of procedure, deciding parties, service, motions, appeals, and much more.

The authors have been considerably assisted in their work by Jacqueline Hughes and Scarlett Smith, both practicing members of the British Columbia bar.
