The Casebook addresses concerns from professors and students alike by providing multiple case studies for use in the classroom and as writing assignments to keep students engaged and interested. It is specifically designed for use as a supplement to any textbook for undergraduate business law at the collegiate level. Its purpose is to facilitate discussion. Not only have students responded favorably to this approach, but assessments have shown that retention level is higher in classes that avoid traditional lecture-style delivery and instead emphasize student participation and integration with the material being taught.
