Böcker av Stephen M. Bainbridge

Presents a collection of edited cases, original text, questions, and problems designed for use in a law school level course on agency, partnerships, and limited liability entities. A key feature of this casebook is the extensive coverage of limited liability entities, especially unincorporated limited liability companies.

With the prior edition of this concise, up-to-date casebook having been adopted at over 100 law schools, the ninth edition preserves the authors' tradition of providing a comprehensive overview of agency, partnership, and corporation law. An exhaustive teachers' manual extensively discusses every case and provides answers to every question in the text.

This casebook embodies the conviction that theoretical and practical legal education are complementary and no more so than in the setting of M&A transactions, where corporate lawyers are regularly called upon to draw on their substantive knowledge of the law to advise clients on how best to effectuate their business objectives.

Corporate governance is regulated by many of the same laws covered in the basic Business Associations course, but increasingly is also regulated by laws - such as SOX and Dodd-Frank - that get short shrift in the typical Business Associations casebook and course. In contrast, those laws are the core focus of the text.

Many students find their Corporation Law class difficult because they do not understand the transactions giving rise to those cases. As with its predecessors, this fourth edition is intended to assist students by not only restating the law but also by putting the law into its business and financial context.

This book - a revolutionary approach to corporate boards - will appeal to anyone interested in the law, theory, and practice of governance. It is written not just for academics and policymakers, but also for the general public. The authors propose that businesses, rather than individuals, be permitted to serve as corporate boards.

Provides a reader-friendly, accessible overview of unincorporated business associations. While emphasizing the doctrinal issues taught in today's unincorporated business associations classes, it places significant emphasis on economic analysis of the major issues in that course.
