"Developments in Business Law and Policy focuses on fundamental
principles of law, adding information on practical and theoretical
perspectives and policy to the subject. The book begins with a
discussion of agency law, which is a bedrock subject for students
in business law courses. The topic is made fresh and interesting
through exploration of current, topical developments such as those
pertaining to the Disney case in Delaware. This is followed by two
subsequent foundational chapters discussing the choice of
enterprise forms and shareholder agreements. Whether or not a
student intends to become an entrepreneur, these subjects are
critical to knowing the ins and outs of entering into a business.
The material in Developments in Business Law and Policy is
organized in a provocative manner that brings real world examples
to the classroom. Later chapters address important and timely
subjects including corporate governance, veil piercing, director
and officer duties, mergers and acquisitions, and insider trading.
The book concludes with a policy analysis of where regulation
failed in the Madoff financial scandal. Each chapter focuses on a
scenario that highlights the practical and policy issues covered in
the chapter. The inclusion of recent high-profile cases and issues
makes the book interesting and appealing to both students and
professors. Developments in Business Law and Policy is written
primarily for undergraduate business law courses and MBA courses on
the subject. It is also an excellent supplementary text for use in
law schools. "
