A stub right now

The case method is a teaching method that is particularly important in business school. Nabeth (talk) 15:09, 2 March 2009 (UTC) Case studies is research method but case based teaching is a educational method. These two things are mixed in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.148.172.205 (talk) 12:05, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

PARTH KASHYAP, VII- D, ROLL.NO. - 24 BAL BHAVAN PUBLIC SCHOOL I just realized that the current version and one external source linked from this page has many expressions in common.

this edit seems to have imported a number of paragraphs from the pdf file linked as a source of further information. http://www.globalens.com./DocFiles/PDF/cases/Preview/GL1429140P.pdf

Merger proposal
I propose that Casebook method be merged into Case method. The two cover the same topic -- the widely used method of studying to become a lawyer. Case method students study cases found in casebooks, so what is the difference? Indeed, Casebook method uses "case method" as a synonym.S. Rich (talk) 14:20, 23 April 2012 (UTC)S. Rich (talk) 02:39, 20 November 2011 (UTC) Also, I note that Business school refers to "case study" as a teaching method while linking to this article. In fact there is a separate case study article, which business school does not link to. Well, the merger proposal stands with the proviso that proper dab and explanation be incorporated into the merged article. 03:24, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Don't merge case study method and casebook method
Despite their similarities, the case study method used in business, social science, life science, and technology courses uses different types of case materials and proceeds somewhat differently from the casebook method used in law courses. Consequently, I vigorously assert that the creation of a disambiguation page is the best approach. Froid 08:36, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly agree. The case method and the casebook method are 2 very different things. The case method is used in various fields, most notably business, as a teaching method by looking at past events, groups or persons. The casebook method in law schools is about learning the law through reading extracts of, or the entirety of "cases" literally (i.e. reported court judgments, and not merely past events, groups or persons). Anybody in law school will not seriously contend that there is no difference between a legal case, and "case" in its non-legal usage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AurekBesh (talk • contribs) 14:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, those two methods are different. I first encountered the case method in law school in 1967 before being drafted (Vietnam Era). When I finished a J.D. in the mid-1970s as an older person, it was even clearer that giving law students a bunch of cases and then hoping they would glean the overarching principle from that...well, that was a very inefficient approach. Doing something for a long time, since the 1870s when Langdell started at Harvard Law, doesn't make it a good idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 19:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
