CRBW now offers a new expanded version of the Criminal Procedure casebook, the CHOICE version, that includes over 100 multiple choice questions. I developed these quizzes for my own students to use in conjunction with the case videos. The questions are designed to promote careful reading and nuanced understanding of each case: they ask about a wide range of issues including the holdings, reasoning, factual nuances, implications, and dissents of each case.
The CHOICE casebook costs $250 per semester for an entire class, regardless of the number of students in the class. The Standard version of the casebook, without multiple choice assessments, remains free. Individual educators who register for the CHOICE casebook will be able to review the questions before deciding whether to purchase the casebook for their class. Please see the Registration tab for additional information.
“[A]ll of the questions were really helpful. You have to engage with the nuances of the decision to get the right answer, and I appreciate that. So I thought the questions were fair and balanced and encourage careful reading of the case material.”
“I always like the questions that ask which fact, if different, may have changed the outcome of the case. It really makes sure that you understand which facts are doing the work and where there may be room for future litigation.”
“The cases that we read often employ vague terms that then reappear in other cases, and I have found myself sometimes misinterpreting these phrases (either reading them too narrowly or too broadly). These questions thus served as a check that I had properly understood the Court.”
“I found the multiple choice questions super helpful – made me think hard about the precise holding of the case and the nuances of the court’s reasoning.”
“I felt like [the quiz] helped me cement my understanding.”
