Is E&E tied to a specific casebook?
No — Examples & Explanations are designed to work alongside any casebook. The questions and explanations are based on the underlying legal doctrine, not on the specific cases your professor assigned. That makes E&E flexible for any section.
When should I use E&E — during or before class?
Both. Read the relevant E&E chapter alongside your assigned cases to reinforce each concept during the semester, then work back through the examples as active practice before exams. Because E&E is organized around legal doctrine rather than a single casebook, it fits neatly into any professor's syllabus.
