Types of Publications 

Course Books

Course materials are manuals sharing titles with the Minnesota CLE seminars for which they are produced. Typically a series of articles corresponding to the lectures delivered at a live course, these materials offer the timeliest information available on the topic in question, emphasizing practical aspects and new developments while delving deeper where necessary.

Deskbooks

Designed to be treatises on their topics, Minnesota CLE’s Deskbooks offer comprehensive instruction written and edited by the very best practitioners in their fields. Detailed narratives are punctuated by practice tips and ethical commentary; the compilations are indexed by subject and authorities and often feature fully searchable companion CD-ROMs. Having much longer shelf-lives than course materials, Deskbooks are updated regularly (some according to need, most on a fixed schedule) via pocket parts or replacement pages. They thus combine long-term wisdom and everyday relevancy, embodying everything you need to conduct practice from start to finish.

Documents Made Easy

A Document Made Easy is a manual containing legal documents along with annotations by experts. You'll receive drafting rationales and insights from the author, along with practice tips and citations to pertinent authority. Checklists and sample language also may be provided.

Each Document Made Easy also has available a companion CD-ROM containing the unannotated version of the documents included in the manual. Don’t scan or retype the documents found in the annotated manual – get the CD-ROM and save time by simply downloading the documents and fine-tuning them to suit your needs. Documents are provided in both Word and WordPerfect formats for use on any PC.
