This heavily discounted, three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version of the hardbound book is printed on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
Unincorporated business associations are a distinct and increasingly important area of modern business law practice. Indeed, many lawyers are more likely to be working with unincorporated business entities than with corporations. This Fifth Edition of Unincorporated Business Entities has been re-organized on a comparative basis (rather than a form-centered basis) since that is how practitioners confront the topic from a business planning and transactional standpoint. One of the benefits of this approach is to remedy a long-standing problem in teaching about LLCs. The law surrounding this relatively new form of organization is still developing rapidly, particularly regarding the fiduciary duties of members and managers. The form-centered approach tended to mean that LLCs, despite now being the predominant form of business organization in the United States, were the last subject covered in the typical semester-long course, and therefore often got short shrift.
Despite the re-organization, the Fifth Edition carries on the goals of its predecessors: (1) to provide the basis for a course that teaches the kind of business law the overwhelming majority of lawyers are likely to practice; (2) to teach issues in current legal doctrine and not to be overly concerned with historical and arcane rules; and (3) to teach the law in a business planning context, demonstrating the interaction between default rules and the art of business lawyering. This edition still includes the Problems. Chapter 1 introduces five stories that carry on in realistic problems distributed throughout the overview of the basic forms and the subsequent in-depth comparative review of legal issues of management, financial rights, limited and vicarious liability, transfer of interests, fiduciary obligations, and endgames. 
The text also includes a "Chameleon Agreement" in the Appendix which provides the basics of a partnership or operating agreement. (It is a chameleon because it refers to the parties as "Memners," i.e., either partners in a partnership or members in a limited liability company.) The Appendix also contains the partnership, limited partnership, and limited liability company statutes you will need for purposes of the book.

Unincorporated business associations are a distinct and increasingly important area of modern business law practice. Indeed, many lawyers are more likely to be working with unincorporated business entities than with corporations. This Fifth Edition of Unincorporated Business Entities has been re-organized on a comparative basis (rather than a form-centered basis) since that is how practitioners confront the topic from a business planning and transactional standpoint. One of the benefits of this approach is to remedy a long-standing problem in teaching about LLCs. The law surrounding this relatively new form of organization is still developing rapidly, particularly regarding the fiduciary duties of members and managers. The form-centered approach tended to mean that LLCs, despite now being the predominant form of business organization in the United States, were the last subject covered in the typical semester-long course, and therefore often got short shrift.

The Fourth Edition of Business Associations retains all the features that have made it a distinctive and useful teaching tool for twenty years:
 <li>Providing a real world context for the cases and statutes, including economics and business background, and organization that reflects the transactions in which the legal issues arise;</li>
 <li>Cases that provide recent examples of the law at work in modern business contexts and good analyses of legal issues rather than simply stating rules of law;</li>
 <li>Short, numbered notes, with the issue covered in each note identified in boldface, all making the discussion easy to follow;</li>
 <li>References to law review articles and other sources for further research or background reading; and</li>
 <li>Problems that illustrate the application of law and policy.</li>
 This edition has been fully updated to Spring, 2003, including the Delaware lock-up case, Omnicare, Inc. v. NCS Healthcare. It is more compact to facilitate coverage of all of the basics in as few as three semester hours, while retaining sufficient depth to support four- or six-hour courses. The main organizational changes from the Third Edition are condensation of the materials on federal securities regulation and reordering of the materials on business acquisitions. Also, the introduction to corporate finance formerly in a separate appendix has been simplified and integrated with the text.
