I use my own casebook, and I have revised it for 2009.  MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PROPER EDITION.  The book will be available in two forms. First, you can purchase it at the bookstore for approximately $45.  Second, you can download the entire book and print it out. If you do print it out yourself, you might try to take advantage of the double-sided feature that many printers (particularly laser printers) have. Not only will some laser printers do it automatically, but even single-sided printers (like the HP Laserjet 1200) will permit you to print out all the odd pages, and then print the even pages in reverse order, so if you stick the odd pages back in the printer (with the correct side facing toward the toner cartridge) it will print the other side. The bookstore will do all that for you, and hence it costs a bit more. It's completely your choice.  I also prefer having the book in loose-leaf form, 3-hole punched to fit in a notebook, and then I carry around that portion of the casebook that I am working on, leaving the rest of it on my shelf.  You can download the electronic version to your computer so that you have the entire text available to you, but you don’t have to lug around the paper version.  Some people prefer to have the whole thing bound, and that’s fine too.

For the first day of class, please read the Introduction (pp. vii through xvi), and be prepared to answer the questions on p. x.
