Cognella Academic Publishing Business Associations: Law and Context

With a foundation rooted in Christopher Langdell's original case study method, Business Associations: Law and Context empowers students with unique insight into problem-solving. Rather than amassing lists of legal rules and exceptions to them, the collection exposes readers to important primary source materials. The book allows the texts to speak for themselves and challenges students to parse meaning, interpret content, and contextualize their learning. Comprised of statutes, legal decisions, and scholarly essays - the primary source material of the legal profession - Business Associations: Law and Contextreplaces stale textbook explanations with real-world, scholarly work. It is well suited to courses in business and corporate law.
