Jan, I use a combination of a good CPA review (Gleim/Delaney) and West
Business Law.  I assign the chapters and lecture, then we go over questions
in the review book and I help them learn how to take the exam.  I'm told
that practicing in my class makes the other sections easier too since they
"know" how to play the test game.  I agree that the cases are a waste of
time and I spend no time on them per se.  However, I go over the major
cases in my lecture to show how the law developed.  It is a great class
because you generally get great students with a goal.
