CasebookPlus™

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.

Table of Contents

Teacher's Manual

The new edition expands the notes following the core cases to deepen class discussion and support robust student exercises. These enhanced notes spotlight current issues in tort law, integrating new cases and synthesizing policy analysis with practical applications. The main cases remain to ensure continuity, while an expanded Teacher’s Manual facilitates a smooth transition for returning and new adopters. Thought problems and exercises have been broadened to promote better student mastery of the materials and to give instructors greater flexibility in assigning core cases. The book remains compatible with the Third Restatement’s approaches, featuring cases that engage with, apply, and in some instances critique or reject particular Third Restatement provisions. The previously introduced chapter on “Victim Fault and Proportionate Liability” continues to offer an integrated treatment of victim-fault defenses and the implications of comparative responsibility in actions involving multiple tortfeasors.
