Synopsis

The Law of Corporations and Other Business Organizations, fourth edition is the latest edition of this practical and informative text. Created with the paralegal student in mind, the main focus of the text is on corporations with other types of business organization also addressed. These include sole proprietorship, general and limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, and limited liability companies. The law of corporations and business organizations is based largely on state law, so the discussions are geared toward the Uniform and Model laws used by most state legislatures. Each chapter includes a multitude of features to help the student retain the information and learn how to apply it in a professional situation. Those features include sample documents and paragraphs, cases, charts, tables, graphs, and resources. Each chapter also has a special section called "The Paralegal's Role" that profiles a corporate paralegal, giving insight into the professional responsibilities and tasks, and ending with words of advice. "Ethical Considerations" are featured throughout the text and include discussions specific to the paralegal, covering client confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and insider trading. The chapters conclude with summary questions, practical problems, and workplace scenarios that allow the students to further explore what they have learned and test their knowledge. With many important updates added to this fourth edition, this text is the definitive resource for the paralegal student learning about the law of corporations and other business organizations.

Review:

The special features are wonderful. The Workplace Scenarios and Paralegals Role sections place this text far above any other I have read...The author should be congratulated on a truly outstanding text. - New Mexico State University - Alamogordo

Schneeman provides enough examples to illustrate the concepts through case law as well as scenarios.

Schneeman's text has a good variety of features, including special tips for paralegals...I thought the examples were very good.

I would adopt this text. I think it fits a need by focusing on what paralegals need to know. I am excited to see this text and check the price for adoption into my new program.

Our students seem to prefer the Schneeman book because it is is more comprehensive; I prefer it because it includes the uniform acts in the appendices...The author writes very well, which is a must for me...The internet/technology material shines. I was quite impressed with the information provided. - Andover College
