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.

Teacher's Manual

The new Tenth Edition retains the fundamental organization and doctrinal/historical focus that this book has had from its inception, but the new edition is substantially updated and re-edited. There are three new principal cases on jury trials for administrative adjudications, judicial review of agency legal interpretations, and the availability of judicial review for long-standing rules – all of which represent potentially major changes in doctrine. Nine new significant note cases have been added, many of which could easily have been framed as principal cases (and some of which are as long as principal cases). The past three years have seen some unusually large doctrinal shifts. Nearly 170 pages on the Chevron doctrine from the Ninth Edition have been condensed into a much shorter narrative as a result of the Loper Bright/Relentless decision overruling Chevron. That decision has spillover consequences as well, requiring, for example, additional attention to how to draw a line between legal and policymaking determinations and the inclusion of substantial materials on the emerging “major questions doctrine.” The book continues to expand material on statutory interpretation, in recognition of the increasing appearance of Administrative Law in the first-year curriculum and the course’s frequent role as a principal vehicle for introducing the basics of statutory interpretation at schools with no Administrative Law or Leg/Reg requirement.
