By addressing the law of sales, commercial paper, agency, and property – and examining such critical legal topics as government regulation, employment practices, and consumer and environmental protection – this series on business law is possibly the most comprehensive ever produced. Students enrolled in business courses, small business development centers, paralegals, business and public libraries, small business owners, or anyone interested in law will benefit from the "real-life" approach of Business and the Law.
"Using scenarios or real-life incidents to teach
business law is probably the best way to teach it."
Marianne Moody Jennings
Arizona State University
"I have taught the business law course for more than
two decades. The material covers exactly the same things we have in
the regular business law course on campus."
Barbara Crutchfield George
California State University - Long Beach
