How do I get my textbooks for the JD program in the School of Law?

Law courses access textbooks multiple ways:

West Academic: Casebook Plus (E Bookshelf) and West Study Aids (See PDF attached below)
Aspen: Casebook Connect/Connected Casebook - integrated into your D2L course, under Course Resources [Video tutorial here]
Redshelf (integrated into your course)- uncommon, only a few courses use Redshelf, like Torts

Pro Tip #1: You may have some, all, or none of these textbook resources in your specific course. Look at the information in your Course under the "Course Resources" tab for information on what to expect in each course.

Pro Tip #2: Always use your school @o365 e-mail address when setting up textbook accounts on various platforms.

Pro Tip #3: Most e-books have the option to purchase print copies at a discount. See this FAQ regarding ordering print copies.

For more information, check out the JD Book Guide page.
