Five years after publication of the Fourth Edition, and reflecting the dynamic nature of the pharmaceutical and medical device industries (as well as the many different areas of law that pertain to the management of these medical technologies), the Fifth Edition incorporates the latest legislative, regulatory, and judicial developments, describes recent scientific advances, and excerpts or references new scholarly contributions to this broad field (the wealth of citations should facilitate use in a seminar setting). Measured by volume, almost 15% of the previous edition has been replaced with new material. The latest edition retains the same basic thematic approach and modular structure of the original, which allows instructors to pick and choose the materials to cover based on their own tastes and areas of expertise.

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.
