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

• 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.

Damrosch, Murphy, and Arato's Basic Documents Supplement to International Law, Cases and Materials, 8th

This classic international law casebook is revised throughout and updated to cover recent case law, including several landmark decisions by the International Court of Justice on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (2021-24), alleged genocide by Myanmar (2022), the Israel-Hamas armed conflict (2023-24), and the right to self-determination for Palestine (2024) and during the decolonization of Mauritius (2019). With extraordinary range and depth, this casebook probes issues of current relevance such as rising sea-levels that threaten Pacific island states, the 2023 biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) treaty, and the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Russian, Israeli, and Hamas leaders, all calculated to provoke engaging classroom discussions.
