Many elder law issues first become legally apparent during the course of civil litigation, such as when an elderly person is served with process, but fails to respond because of mental difficulties. In addition, many procedural rules directly affect the elderly, especially those rules concerned with preserving and taking testimony from persons who are ill or infirm. Likewise, because of the physical and mental deterioration associated with aging, the elderly are affected directly by procedural rules providing for compulsory physical and mental examinations. Furthermore, aging may affect one’s capacity to sue or be sued. Specialized procedural issues also arise. For example, when and how, if at all, can a guardian change an incapacitated elderly person’s domicile for purposes of diversity jurisdiction? A beginning course in civil procedure presents several opportunities to examine these and other elder law issues. This Article illustrates how they can be raised and addressed during the course of discussion in a civil procedure class.
