In the context of impending nationwide railroad and airline strikes, his service includes appointments by Presidents Reagan, George Bush, Clinton, and George W.

He is also a member of the Massachusetts, Florida, and federal Bars.

Review:

The use of 'outline' and 'objectives' at the beginning of each chapter helps to focus for the reader the balance of the chapter.

The law is made relevant when the student sees the application in their life. The text provides the basic connection between law and business.
