Casebook method

The Casebook method is an educational approach that uses real-world legal cases to teach students how to analyze and apply legal principles. Instead of just reading about laws, students study actual court decisions, examining how judges interpret the law in specific situations. This method helps develop critical thinking, reasoning skills, and a deeper understanding of legal concepts by engaging with authentic examples, encouraging active learning. It’s widely used in law schools to prepare students for practical legal practice by analyzing complex cases and understanding judicial reasoning.
