Legal Commentary

As I indicated in comments to Jessie's post on casebooks versus assigning full or self-edited cases, this has me thinking.

Suppose I taught Civ Pro as follows:

1) Rules pamphlet 2) Complete (unedited) cases in those areas in which there are major cases: Pleading (Iqbal/Twombley); Summary judgment (Trilogy and a good lower-court case); Erie; Personal Jurisdiction; Subject Matter Jurisdiction 3) Student-level treatise (there are a few good ones--two years ago, when I had only a few days to cover preclusion, I assigned treatise pages rather than material from the casebook) 4) Supplemental materials (sample complaints, sample discovery documents, etc.)

Help em out here, folks (especially Civ Pro geeks): Would this work? What's wrong with this approach? What (if any) are the benefits? What are the negatives?
