Author Description

<p>This unique book uses actual litigation documents and contexts so that students learn doctrine and skills in a real-life setting. Rule and statute deconstruction, case reading, and organizing/synthesizing materials are explicitly taught along with doctrine and are linked to law practice tasks. Introductory materials in each section provide a framework for understanding the material, and questions and exercises help students apply the materials to further their understanding. The user-friendly combination of skills instruction with doctrine is geared to a variety of learning styles.</p> <p>The teacher's manual includes multiple choice questions, PowerPoint slides and suggested materials (instant feedback forms, YouTube video links, etc.).</p> <p>This book is part of the Context and Practice Series, edited by Michael Hunter Schwartz, Professor of Law and Dean of the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific.</p>
