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.

2023 Update Memo

Teacher's Manual

The book provides extensive new materials on the legal regulation of transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals, including efforts to deny them access to healthcare and equal educational and athletic opportunities. Many of these new materials are found in a new equality chapter that brings together, and comprehensively explores, constitutional and statutory equality protections for LGBTQ individuals, including the Supreme Court’s 2020 decision interpreting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation. The parenting chapter has been reorganized with new materials that cover adoption, marital parenthood, biological/genetic parenthood, intentional parenthood, and functional parenthood. In addition, the introductory chapter contains updated demographic and normative materials on issues of sexuality, gender, and gender identity. There are also new materials on the regulation of the sexuality of public employees; on the regulation of non-marital relationships; and on First Amendment exemptions to the application of LGBTQ equality measures.
