Another article, well worth reading, is "In a Case, On the Screen, Do They Remember What They've Seen? Critical Electronic Reading in the Law Classroom." in 30 Hamline Law Review 247-284 (207). Debra Moss Curtis and Judith R. Karp explain how electronic texts fail to support reading. This is critical issue as we shift to on-line resources.
