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

Includes an entirely rewritten negotiation chapter tailoring negotiation theory to negotiation practice as well as updates of traditional material. The updated materials include the Report from the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Task Force on Research on Mediator Techniques, the new arbitration cases to date, and the latest thinking on online dispute resolution (ODR) and dispute systems design (DSD). As this popular book is now in the Interactive Casebook Series, the book features a novel visual display and layout that uses text boxes, diagrams, and color/border segregated feature sections for hypotheticals, reference to scholarly debates, useful information for students, and questions to provoke thought. Furthermore, the book now includes a number of multiple-choice questions for both formative and summative assessment to confirm both transference and retention of material.
