About this title

Synopsis

Taking a dynamic -- and very contemporary -- approach to Legal business studies, this text covers introductory topics, private law, and public law -- but offers an alternative to the traditional method of case analysis. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating a questioning dimension into legal reasoning -- one which involves critical thinking and the consideration of the impact of values (ethics) on the outcome being considered. It outlines an authoritative step-by-step model for critical thinking/ethical analysis, and gives students hands-on opportunities to develop these skills.
