Business Law and the Legal Environment is suitable for courses called Business Law, Business Law and the Legal Environment, The Legal Environment, Advanced Business Law or similar titles taught at the undergraduate or master’s level in business departments at two- and four-year colleges and universities. This book is appropriate for courses that are one- or several terms in length and can be easily customized to match any syllabus.
Business Law and the Legal Environment covers the entire range of legal and regulatory issues faced by businesses. The book includes illustrative cases in the court’s language for each topic area and case summaries in the Instructor’s Manual. Along with extensive coverage of traditional business law topics such as torts, contracts, bailments, commercial sales, secured transactions, agency, property, partnership, corporate law, wills, estates, and bankruptcy, the book also covers federal regulatory law (employment, antitrust, securities, and environmental law) and international law. Business Law and the Legal Environment provides students with the vocabulary and legal acumen required to communicate in an informed way with colleagues, customers, suppliers and government officials on legal matters relating to business.
