Why ALS Loves eBooks
ALS is expanding its use for this semester. We are doing this because eBooks are:
- Cutting edge-have access to the complete course book anytime you want from your computer or phone
- Good for the environment-they save trees and eliminate pollution associates with shipping
- Easily updateable, for correcting errors and adding information. They also allow the option for the addition of multimedia: video and audio. As technology develops, eBooks may contain new features
- Searchable. Quickly you can find anything inside the book. They may also be hyper-linked, for easier access to additional information

One of them, Justice Michael Streit joins us as we present Challenging Judicial Independence on February 17.

Suffolk Law School will mark the 30th anniversary of the book's publication with a day-long symposium, "Contract as Promise at 30" on March 25.
