Instructional Aids for Faculty: Legal Research
A collection of images in pdf file format illustrating federal and
state West publications such as reporters, annotated codes and digests.
Also includes a collection of images from popular West secondary
sources, such as hornbooks, nutshells and form books.
Lecture Support & Presentations
Comprehensive lectures designed for use by instructors. These are large files. I was unable to create links to individual documents because of file size.
Some of the lectures have accompanying student exercises.
