Rule Haiku: Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (Rule Haiku) by Jones, tendance Levi

Once a case has been decided by a federal district court, the parties can appeal that decision. The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure guide litigants through the appeals process. Those rules can confuse and intimidate the newcomer. This book takes each rule and converts it into a haiku poem, painting them in a new, more friendly light. Fitting the rules into the simple yet strict syllable patterns of haiku forces one to consider the core function of each rule. This book makes a lovely gift for those who practice regularly in the federal appellate courts, as well as law students.
