Business Basics for Law Students, Fourth Edition (Introduction to Law)

This book was written before the financial meltdown in 2008. The book even mentions a financial threat looming, and it practically hit the meltdown on the nose before it happened. The book provides a nice overview of business topics for law students, or really anyone.

This book is absolutely gold not only for law students, but also for new attorneys entering finance -related areas such as bankruptcy, capital markets without an undergraduate degree in finance or business administration.

The book was exceptionally boring. I know that business law is not really exciting to most, but this was more tiring than my casebook. Not a great supplement -- try E & E.

I was told there was a mistake in inventory number, thus when I purchased this book, actually it was out of stock. And then Amazon told me this illusionary book had been shipped.The seller apologized immediately through amazon refund and refunded in full. But I wish he could notice me by an e-mail or a pop-up window message, then I would not wait in vain for nearly 3 weeks and had to borrow it from the library every 2 hours.The book is great itself.

This was really helpful for intro to fed tax and corporations. The author provides clear explanations of how various business mechanisms operate and why they are significant in a legal context. Chapter also include some background history, analysis of rules& regs, and discussion of major corporations cases. One of the most worthwhile supplements I've purchased, I highly recommend it for anyone taking business law classes who doesn't have a business/accounting background.

I used this to bone up on the various corporate and financial law topics I needed to know for my Nonprofit Law course and for the bar exam. It is well written and very informative. I wish I had read this book prior to taking Contracts Law my 1L year - would have gotten way more out of that class.

The binding of the book is damaged and pages are falling out.

I think this is super helpful, but it can be confusing in spots
