Criminal Law: An Integrated Approach is a new textbook designed for a first-year law school course in criminal law. It aims to present an accurate overview of American criminal law as it operates in the twenty-first century, with attention to racial disparities and other inequalities and to the features of criminal law that produce these inequalities.
This is the Sixth Edition of Torts: Cases, Principles, and Institutions, a casebook for a one-semester torts course that carves out a distinctive niche in the field by focusing on the institutions and sociology of American tort law. The book retains many of the familiar features of the traditional casebook, including many of the classic cases. Like the best casebooks, it seeks to survey the theoretical principles underlying those cases. But it aims to supplement the cases and principles with editorial notes that focus students’ attention on the institutional features of our tort system, including features such as the pervasiveness of settlements, the significance of the market, the role of the plaintiff's bar, the importance of private insurance, the contingency fee, and the jury. These institutional arrangements are what make American tort law distinctive. They are how the substantive doctrines of tort law are translated into the practice of torts lawyers. And they are sociologically fascinating in their own right.

This webinar explains how CALI LessonLink can make formative assessment easier to administer and more effective. “Starting with the end in mind” means clarifying how learning outcomes relate to formative assessment before data is gathered and analyzed. To use LessonLink, an instructor assigns a CALI lesson, then students click through the link to access the lesson. CALI captures score and interaction data the instructor can download after students finish. The hard part of this process is not data analysis, it’s articulating how learning outcome and formative assessment relate so that data analysis provides helpful insights to instructors and students.
