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

• 12-month access to a digital Learning Library complete with:

Multiple-choice self-assessment questions, including:

• Chapter questions keyed to the casebook

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 Seventh Edition replaces the former Assignment on Mortgages with a new Assignment covering Mortgages and Foreclosures. Core concepts are described more thoroughly and set in the context of contemporary real-estate finance as impacted by the recent subprime mortgage/foreclosure crisis. A new Problem and cases require students to grapple with the tensions between protections for homeowners and borrowers in foreclosure, and efficient foreclosure procedures for lenders and investors. The Seventh Edition also discusses the following new topics:

• the Supreme Court’s Inclusive Communities case reaffirming that the FHA not only allows claims arising from intentional discrimination, but also disparate-impact claims involving practices that have a discriminatory effect;
• the Koontz exactions case;
• groundwater cases applying the public trust doctrine, rule of capture, and takings;
• the impact on marital property of the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage decision in Obergefell v. Hodges;
• a jury’s validation of Google’s use of Java programming language in Android as fair use.
