Description

CALI eLangdell Press publishes free, open-access casebooks for legal education. Educators can adopt and edit eLangdell's Creative Commons licensed casebooks for free, allowing them the flexibility to tailor resources to their teaching methods and course requirements. Students benefit from a more affordable option with free access to eLangdell casebooks in Word, PDF, ebook, and online formats. For those who prefer a physical copy, the print version is available for purchase at cost. Further, our latest titles feature interactive questions using the open-source tool H5P. This enhancement elevates student engagement and provides opportunities to reinforce knowledge.
