A Civil Matter
Michael Inman’s first federal jury trial became the subject of the casebook A Civil Matter: A Guide to Civil Procedure and Litigation by George W. Kuney and Donna C. Looper. The recognition also carries special meaning because attorney Robert J. English, who helped try the case, later passed away.
For Michael, the book serves as a reminder of his colleague’s legacy and the importance of sharing knowledge with the next generation of attorneys. He recommends the casebook as a practical example of navigating federal civil litigation and as a useful resource for attorneys studying or refreshing their understanding of federal procedure.
