More about Business Organizations: Cases, Problems, and Case Studies, reflecting ongoing changes in the structure and regulation of modern business practice, the Fifth Edition offers a unique combination of doctrine, problems, and case studies. This book utterly avoids frustrating questions that students can’t answer and professors don’t want to spend class time answering. Recent, high-interest cases are balanced against classic teaching chestnuts. Brief, innovative problems are used throughout. Recent Delaware Supreme Court decisions and a collaborative community of users support a clear and sustained examination of the role and purview of the law in business transactions.

Bundle also includes Corporations and Other Business Associations: Selected Statutes, Rules, and Forms, 2024.
