Download or read book Business Law and Organizations for Paralegals written by Emily Lynch Morissette and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes Business Law and Organizations for Paralegals incredibly different than the other books in this field is that it covers a large variety of subjects important to corporate law, as well as the basics of corporate law, while doing so in a manageable number of pages and at an affordable price. The additional aspects covered in this book, which are of great importance to the practice of corporate law, include employment law, intellectual property law, contracts, investing, the business entity as a litigant, and corporate ethics. This book could be used to teach those subjects, especially intellectual property, in addition to corporate law, thus reducing the necessity of students buying two books for two separate classes. Even if these subjects are not covered in additional classes, it is extremely important with the current economy to introduce students to a wide variety of subjects so as to increase their job prospects. For example, intellectual property is currently one of the fastest growing segments of our economy. The second edition of Business Law and Organizations for Paralegals provides updates on new legal changes, especially in the law of Limited Liability Companies. In addition, both the teacher's manual and the textbook have more state-specific information, for each state in the nation. Some of the additional subjects are covered to provide students with a basis of knowledge for their own benefit, such as investing. While some students may not be interested in the basics of corporate law, most are interested in investing, which is something that can apply to them individually. The basics of corporate law is also well-covered, including sole proprietorships, general partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, and for-profit corporations (with several chapters covering for-profit corporations). The following Teaching Materials are available: Test bank in Word, Blackboard-compatible and Moodle formats available. Other LMS formats are available through Respondus. Teacher's Manual pdf with outlines, review questions and exercises. PowerPoint slides are available upon adoption. Sample slides from the full 338-slide presentation are available to view here. Email [email protected] for more information. "Professor Morissette's expertise shines through in this complete and clear discussion of business law. She does a masterful job of balancing practice and theory. Her engaging discussions of intellectual property and litigation set this text apart from the competition. This book deserves my wholehearted endorsement." -- D. Patrick O'Laughlin, University of San Diego "The opening chapter of this textbook started as it should, and as many do not, with agency. From there on out it provided an insightful and fresh look at the concepts covered...The text also contains useful tools for the students. The chapter exercises involving critical thinking, for example, are one key to helping educators develop paralegals who have a foundation for success." -- Mary Teresa Sesson, Cuyamaca College

Download or read book Advanced Corporation Law written by STEPHEN M. BAINBRIDGE and published by Foundation Press. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance has been much in the news in recent years and lawyers are devoting increasing amount of attention to it. The passage of major federal legislation in 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act a.k.a. SOX) and 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) were particularly important developments, generating much new law and, as a result, much new legal work. Curiously, however, the law school casebook market has largely ignored these trends. 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. In addition to the pertinent laws, the book brings into play sources such as stock exchange listing standards and the rules issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and similar quasi-governmental bodies. Importantly, however, lawyers practicing in the corporate governance space must be knowledgeable not only about the law but also best practice. The text therefore makes frequent references to best practice advice drawn from sources such as law firm client memoranda.
