He also practiced in a private firm, where he concentrated on general civil litigation, including trials and appeals of tort, contract, employment, and property cases.
Review:
"I find the coverage fair and balanced. For example the section about the EPA on page 980 gives the student a good flavor of the practical realities of legislation and enforcement without showing unfair bias. Good job!"
"The text is a top flight law book that should rank within the top three on the market today. Indeed, I would consider adopting the text and making it possible for other business faculty in my department to adopt the text."
"This book is excellent. I have adopted it for my Business Law I classes. This fall I will be teaching Business Law II again for the first time since I adopted this text for Business Law I. After serious consideration, I adopted the text for my Business Law II class. I realized that I would miss it too much if I did not use it! I am sure my students will be glad too - and not just because 'they already have the book.' I can tell my students enjoy this text."
