Business Law offers a basic explanation of the legal rights and responsibilities of people in both the public and private sectors. Co-authored by a practicing attorney and a college professor, the text features practical and up-to-date content written in clear, straightforward language. The authors avoid using court jargon and show rather than tell students about the law with in-text examples, current and interesting cases, and ethical dilemmas.

In-text examples immediately illustrate and reinforce the concepts under review. At the end of each chapter, Cases for Review present mini-cases and prompt students to review the facts and make a judgment based on concepts learned in the chapter. Questions and Problems to Discuss test students' comprehension of key chapter topics. Designed specifically for use with the Seventh Edition, the technology program includes a range of instructor and student resources.
