About the Author:

Terry Halbert is Professor of Legal Studies at Temple University's Fox School of Business & Management. Her research and teaching is interdisciplinary, focusing on business ethics and public policy concerns. Professor Halbert has developed industry-specific courses on the tobacco industry and on gambling in which students take up each issue from several perspectives: history, sociology, law, ethics, economics, race/class/gender, literature, and film. She has served as a staff editor for the AMERICAN BUSINESS LAW JOURNAL since 1995 and is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar. In 1999, she received Temple's Great Teacher award. A believer in experiential learning, Professor Halbert teaches an Executive MBA course in which managers discuss and analyze the ethical dilemmas they face at work. She earned her JD from Rutgers University, Camden.

Review:

The text is well organized throughout. The questions, problems, and projects at the end of the chapters are valuable, insightful and avoid the cliche and "busy work" that other texts in this field tend to provide at the end of their chapters. I especially appreciated the "Internet assignments" at chapter's end.

After examination, I have a high opinion of your text. I like its comprehensiveness, covering affirmative action, product liability, workplace safety, environmental protection, advertising, privacy, wistleblowing, and sexual harassment.

The author's have done a terrific job in choosing ethical and legal issues that are challenging, important and timely.

This text is chock-full of excellent, real life case studies that raise important legal and ethical issues. The rich case studies provide students with the opportunity to ponder abstract legal and moral issues, to clarify their goals and values, and to prepare themselves for difficult issues they are likely to face in business and in life.
