Westlaw Law School Exchange – Free Electronic Teacher’s Manuals

Faculty and staff can access Westlaw’s Law School Exchange to view free copies of teacher’s manuals, nutshells, hornbooks and study aids.  Just sign into Westlaw and click on Law School Exchange in the top blue bar.    Similar to Westlaw Interactive Casebooks, you can highlight the books, insert comments, add a Black’s law dictionary definition and search the text.  Just click on Tools on the right hand side when you are in a document.  You can print out one page of the book at a time, and print out all your notes at once.

Professors can link materials on the Law School Exchange to a TWEN course page (how to).  Students may have to pay a fee to access the material.

Law School Exchange also contains short articles, syllabi, presentations, problems and hypotheticals.  You can pick the type of material you want by using the Advanced Search.

Law School Exchange can also be used to create a collection of your teaching materials and share your teaching materials with others.  When you upload a document, you can select whether the document is public or private, and select a a copyright or Creative Commons license option.  See our prior post Sites for Sharing Teaching Materials.
