I've been toying with the idea of replacing casebooks with the popular "Examples & Explanations" study guides in at least a few of my classes. Why? Because the study guides are significantly less expensive and more likely to be used in practice, and I believe they would allow me to cover more black letter law in less time--thereby allowing me to try "alternative" teaching and assessment methods that I would otherwise not have the time to implement.
It's an idea with which I've toyed too. Of course, I have a rather different set of study guides in mind:
I know several faculty who have successfully used the Mergers book as the main text for a course in Mergers and Acquisitions. A number use the Corporations or Agency book as a supplemental text.
