Edward H. Cooper

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable law academic. No claim of notability. No independent refs. Stuartyeates (talk) 03:53, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Absurd nomination. There is third-party ref, and Cooper is a notable civil procedure scholar; he wrote the major legal treatise on American civil procedure. And he has been reporter of the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules of the Judicial Conference of the United States since 1992; that committee literally writes the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

 * Keep As "Thomas M. Cooley Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School", he meets the requirements at WP:PROF.   DGG ( talk ) 04:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Federal Practice & Procedure is pretty much the go-to book in introductory civil procedure in US law schools; or at least it was for a decade or two.  JohnInDC (talk) 04:14, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
