Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Segal sees the workplace as an unending sequence of commercial transactions, and life in the workplace as a series of contractual agreements. We play in a field strewn with land mines - legal actions, large and small, waiting to explode. What may have started as a simple buyer-seller, borrower-lender transaction can escalate into differences of opinion, then blow up into a full-fury lawsuit. But, says Segal, this needn't happen. Most of these legal differences can be traced back to faulty, misunderstood contract and sales transactions, how they were conceived, created, implemented. Agreements that can't be enforced, business plans gone awry, unforeseen problems that suddenly pop up to wreck what once seemed to be golden business opportunities - these are some of the legal issues that Segal addresses in Preventive Law for Business Professionals. What Segal offers in response is his "anticipatory thinking approach," a "preventive law" method to lay bare and defang these legal perils before they evolve to such magnitude that expensive, time-consuming court action becomes inevitable. Dr. Segal offers a carefully culled list of the most salient and likely commercial transactions, issues that can be prevented, and what you can do to forestall them. Based on numerous examples and actual court cases, as well as from classic legal disputes, Segal lays out the legal reasoning of the presiding judges, often with direct quotations that provide an especially realistic, useful understanding of how these cases were actually decided - and why.

Download or read book Preventive Law and Problem Solving written by Thomas D. Barton and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preventive Law and Problem Solving: Lawyering for the Future is designed for four audiences. First, it introduces a broad, socially connected understanding of legal systems and legal thinking to students who are considering, or just beginning, law study. Second, for those who have completed their first year of training, the book reflects on the assumptions that underpin the legal methods they have been struggling to master. Third, for those interested in legal theory, the book describes and explains a new paradigm for legal thought. Finally, practicing lawyers are offered examples of using the preventive/ problem solving approach in contract formation, project management, general business representation, domestic violence, and health care delivery. Building on the author's long-standing interest in the complex relationships between problems and the procedures employed for their resolution, the book explores: how legal problems may be prevented; how lawyers may proactively assist clients in identifying and reaching their goals; the impacts of legal methods on the people involved in a dispute; and how law can be understood as one part of an elaborately intertwined system comprised of the problems that people bring to law; the methods available to address those problems; the skills that lawyers must employ to use those procedures effectively; the ethics with which they are expected to operate those procedures; the vision of truth that propels the system; and the broader human culture within which law, lawyers, and legal methods are shaped. About the author: Thomas D. Barton is the Louis and Hermione Brown Professor of Law at California Western School of Law in San Diego. He obtained his J.D. degree from Cornell Law School, and a Ph.D. in Law from Cambridge University, where he researched problem solving within common law adjudication. Professor Barton teaches courses in problem solving and prevention, Civil Procedure, Contracts, and various topics in law and society for undergraduates. He writes and speaks primarily on legal theory and Preventive Law, and coordinates the National Center for Preventive Law, found at www.preventivelawyer.com.

Download or read book Business Law for the Entrepreneur and Manager written by Frank J Cavico and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 4th edition of Business Law for the Entrepreneur and Manager introduces the reader to fundamental principles of the laws regulating business as well as their practical application in the United States. The various chapters cover such topics as the law and the basic legal principles impacting entrepreneurs and managers, the foundational business laws that entrepreneurs and managers in the United States must become aware of and understand, as well as other important legal topics such as constitutional law, administrative law, torts, products liability, crimes, contract law, sales and agency laws, commercial paper, various forms of business organizations, and debtors and creditors laws. The study of this legal material will be very beneficial to entrepreneurs, managers, and human resources professionals. This edition to this book seeks to make the reader more legally knowledgeable and astute. The book attempts to identify as many legal challenges as possible in establishing, operating, and managing a business in today's very competitive global business environment. The book recommends strategies and tactics to overcome these challenges and to achieve a successful business in a lawful and moral manner. Yet overcoming business law challenges is not the only goal of this book. The authors naturally want the reader to be able to more clearly foresee legal problems so as to avoid them; but the authors also want the reader to learn how to use the law and the legal system to more effectively establish, manage, and develop the business. Accordingly, an important objective of this edition of this book is to focus on "preventative law," that is, making the business person aware of the law, its applicability to business, and the legal consequences of business decision-making. The goal is to proactively avoid legal problems before they materialize, as opposed to the "trials and tribulations" (and "trials" perhaps literally) of reactively dealing with them when they occur. One major purpose of this book, therefore, is to help business people recognize legal risks and thus avoid legal liability. The authors are most grateful for all the support and encouragement to publish the 4th edition and particularly for the many most helpful suggestions for improving the book from colleagues, managers, human resources professionals, students, friends, and readers from across the globe.

Cavico, J.D., LL.M., Professor Emeritus of Business Law and Ethics, and Dr. Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, M.B.A. / D.B.A., Professor of Management and Human Resources.
