Synopsis

Unique and thought-provoking, this book takes a conceptual approach to introductory law and the legal environment of business. It attempts to put students in an evaluative frame of mind, deepening their appreciation of the time, place, function, and limits of law. At the same time, it is consistent with the AACSB requirements for a legal environment of business course. The text covers the history of major legal principles, emphazing policy questions, ethics, and modern applications of legal principles. Cases - some edited, others summarized - are interspersed throughout the text. Short stories, parables, and both popular and scholarly articles are also interspersed to excite students' imaginations.
