    clear signposting — generous use of heading levels and visual aids create a well-marked path to understanding FAQs (frequently asked questions)—anticipate questions, clear up misapprehensions, and test student understanding of material covered Sidebars — study tips, hypos, cites to authorities, and marginalia graphics — charts, graphs, figures, and art connections — a concluding section at the end of every chapter that connects the material just covered to other chapters in the book, the field at large, and legal practice
