This title is available in our CasebookPlus format. CasebookPlus provides support beyond your classroom lectures and materials by offering additional digital resources to you and your students. Anchored by faculty-authored formative self-assessments keyed to our most popular casebooks, CasebookPlus allows students to test their understanding of core concepts as they are learning them in class – on their own, outside of the classroom, with no extra work on your part. CasebookPlus combines three important elements:

• A new print or digital casebook
• Access to a downloadable eBook with the ability to highlight and add notes
• 12-month access to a digital Learning Library complete with:

Multiple-choice self-assessment questions, including:

• Chapter questions keyed to the casebook
• Black Letter Law questions (available in select subjects)
• Subject area review questions for end of semester use

Essay and short answer questions with sample answers and expert commentary, in 1L and select upper-level subjects

Leading digital study aids, an outline starter, and audio lectures in select subjects

Students can still utilize CasebookPlus digital resources if they’ve purchased a used book or are renting their text by purchasing the Learning Library at westacademic.com.

With CasebookPlus, you can customize your students’ learning experience and monitor their performance. The quiz editor allows you to create your own custom quiz set, suppress specific quiz questions or quiz sets, and time-release quiz questions. Additionally, the flexible, customized reporting capability helps you evaluate your students’ understanding of the material and can also help your school demonstrate compliance with the new ABA Assessment and Learning Outcomes standards.

Teacher's Manual

The fourth edition of ADR in the Workplace is a substantial revision and update of the Third Edition. It includes recent court and arbitration decisions, new scholarly analysis, and updated notes and questions. Each chapter contains new citations to cases and scholarship issued after publication of the Third Edition; these changes will not be individually enumerated. Significant substantive changes to the Fourth Edition include:

• Chapter 4 (Deferral and Preemption): This chapter has been deleted. The material on preemption has been moved to Chapter 3 and the material on Deferral has been deleted (most faculty teach this as part of the traditional labor law course).
• Chapter 7 (now 6) (Subjects of Labor Arbitration): Subparts E.3 (Seniority retention), E.5 (Super Seniority), and I (Union Security) have been removed. The Janus case has been moved to the next chapter.
• Chapter 8 (now 7) (Arbitration in the Public Sector): This Chapter was significantly revised to reflect major changes in the law governing public-sector unions, including the Supreme Court's Janus case, the Trump Administration’s executive orders narrowing federal-sector bargaining rights, and the Federal Labor Relations Authority’s new test for reviewing federal-sector arbitration awards.
• Chapter 11 (now 10) (Judicial Application of Gilmer): This Chapter incorporates lots of new developments in the law, including several new Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Federal Arbitration Act.
• Chapter 12 (now 11): (Employment Arbitration in Practice): This Chapter adds two cases illustrating how the rules of arbitral service providers (such as AAA) incorporated-by-reference into arbitration agreements can affect the process and outcome of arbitration.
• Chapter 14 (now 13) (Other Methods): This Chapter adds a significant new subpart on international approaches to resolving workplace disputes.
