Unlike most digital textbooks, the author has incorporated not only traditional text, but also numerous links to various digital mediums, including videos and websites, to further underscore the legal concepts. This layout and structure supports the current generational consumption of media, making the textbook overall more engaging and relevant to students.
Additionally, within the textbook, various homework questions and end of chapter quizzes are included (most of which are automatically computer graded). This supports faculty by ensuring students are reading the text, thus providing familiarity with the concepts being taught.
