NOTES:

• You do need to have the current edition of each book; there have been significant changes from previous editions. The ALWD citation guide and the Neumann textbook are available as used books, but the other two required books are brand-new editions and are only available as new books.

• Copies of the first three books (from Wolters Kluwer) should include information about access codes for “Casebook Connect,” providing you with online access to videos (for the Sloan text) and other information. If you do not have that information with your copy, you will need your receipt to request an access code from https://support.casebookconnect.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.
