Cases and Materials on Corporations

Drawing from their extensive teaching experience, Professors Hurst and Gregory have produced a powerful teaching text that quite simply works in the classroom. With an eye to what stimulates learning, and a focus on what future lawyers actually need to know, the authors cut obsolete cases so prevalent in corporations coursebooks and replaced them with decisions relevant to today's corporate practice, while still retaining the essential classics. Class discussions are livelier as a result of the authors' selection of cases on such topics as corporate social responsibility, criminal law, family law, and professional ethics. Cases and Materials on Corporations begins with material vital to the actual practice of law. The authors provide more background on agency and partnership than most corporations books, but also address the key areas of choice of business form, including the newest forms of limited liability companies and limited liability partnerships.
