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

Among its more than 5,000 footnotes, the Eleventh Edition includes citations to more than 600 new cases since 2018 plus substantive discussions of many of these disputes. The volume also adds five new opinions, four of which are from the Supreme Court, among its 123 case excerpts as selected older cases are culled, such as two in Chapter 14 on student speech, replacing them with more up-to-date opinions on cutting edge issues. New case excerpts examine timely developments on the parameters of state aid to faith-based educational institutions and prayer by public employees at work Chapter 2; the limits on the liability of school officials for a student’s off-campus death in Chapter 7; fair share fees for unions in Chapter 9; and student off-campus speech on social media in Chapter 14.
