H2O Open Casebook
H2O is a platform for creating, sharing, and remixing open course materials.
Where can I find H2O Open Casebook?
Why does H2O Open Casebook exist?
Traditional textbooks, especially legal casebooks, are heavy, expensive and inflexible. Students will spend several thousand dollars on casebooks by the time they graduate even though the bulk of the content - the cases - are in the public domain and should be freely accessible. Legal education is also changing quickly, and commercial, hardbound casebooks can’t keep up. H2O allows instructors to find open casebooks they can use or adapt, or create their own from scratch.
