The following is a current list of textbooks from which Center for Advanced Legal Studies (CALS) instructors make their textbook selections. A Cengage Unlimited account is included in the cost of all programs at CALS. Students must have institutional access to Cengage Unlimited materials. Cengage Unlimited may offer the option to rent textbooks through the student’s Cengage Dashboard for $14.99/book. If a course requires a book that is not offered through Cengage Unlimited, CALS will arrange for the student to receive the book. 

Cengage Unlimited also provides students unlimited access to their ebook library, and college success modules are available through Cengage at https://www.cengage.com/dashboard. CALS participates in the LIRN lending library, which is linked directly to each Canvas course. Students are encouraged to use this resource freely and often. Students receive Westlaw subscriptions during the 2nd term of the Certificate Program. Registration emails are sent directly from Thomson Reuters. Please contact the office if you have any questions. 

Please note that the list of books provided below is subject to change as the publisher frequently updates their editions. CALS instructors make the decision to switch to new editions. If you wish to purchase your books outside of Cengage Unlimited rentals, it is recommended that you only do so for one term at a time. Additionally, it is advisable to verify the edition of the book with CALS staff before making the purchase. Please be aware that CALS is not responsible for any wrong textbook purchases made by students.
