Casenotes Casebriefs; Higher Prices and OK Casebriefs
Casenote case briefs used to be an independent company that was forced out of business mostly from their constant desire to raise prices without improving the product and from intense competition from Rom Law™.
Casenote case briefs was purchased by Aspen publishers who immediately raised the prices even more without improving quality. The biggest advantage to Casenote case briefs is that they have more titles than any other publisher.
The Casenote case briefs are ok. In some areas of the law they miss many of the issues and in many instances the casebriefs are not long enough to cover the case. Further, they only case brief the edited version of the case in the casebook and hence they miss some key points. In many instances the legal analysis is childish. However, unless you just can’t find the same product in a digital format there is no reason to purchase Casenote case briefs. If no one else makes a case brief book for the casebook you are using then buy the Casenote case briefs. Our opinion is they are overpriced.
Case Brief Books are Obsolete
We are not down on this product as you would imagine but we are down on the format. Books are obsolete. If it were digital where you could use the Casenote case briefs product and modify, and at least print them, then the product would rate a much better standing. Plus the prices of the Casenote case briefs keep increasing without any improvement in the actual case briefs product itself.
If you can’t find a digital case brief product, then buy Casenote case briefs for your classes.
We noticed in 2010 that a number of their prior case breifing titles are now missing from the lineup. They have added a few titles.
