This short book was written for students taking the first course in business organizations. Obviously, different law schools have different names for the course-"business associations," "business enterprises," "business organizations," "business structures," "corporations." And the differences in your students' background and interest in this course are even more obvious. It will soon be obvious to some of your students that they need the help of a basic student text. There are a number of good law-school books on corporations. Business Structures in a Nutshell has significantly fewer pages than other student texts but not less explanation. Professors Shade and Epstein emphasize explanation. Their objective is to have students say, "Now I understand that." 
More specifically, the authors focus on (1) explaining the basic concepts that you have covered in class, (2) providing a business and practice context for those concepts, and (3) showing how the concepts are consistent (and sometimes inconsistent) with each other. Their book is organized around the life cycle of business-beginning with the choice of the form of business structure, ending with the choices of possible "end-games" for the business and its owners, and covering the common legal issues in running and growing a business. Business Structures in a Nutshell can help your students, whether they’ve come to your first class as poets or accountants.

Ethics & Professional Responsibility

This text does a number of things that no other Critical Race Theory casebook does. First, it applies the case method approach. Not an anthology, it examines cases through the analytical framework of Critical Race Theory. Second, in order to appeal to the broadest number of students, the casebook examines cases in the first year curriculum. There is a separate chapter on Torts, Contracts, Criminal Procedure, Criminal Law and Sentencing, Property and Civil Procedure. Third, it examines cases where race is not always obvious, showing how race is often relevant even where it may initially appear not to be relevant. Fourth, it provides cases where the courts have applied a Critical Race Theory perspective.

Statutory Supplement to Cases and Materials on Corporations, 8th Edition

Hamilton, Robert W.

MacEy, Jonathan R.

This brand new book addresses the traditional issues in a contemporary context. Other than the essential Supreme Court chestnuts, nearly all of the cases contained in this book were decided in 2001 or 2000. These cases have been significantly edited to make them more accessible to first-year students and to allow faculty members to assign several cases for one class meeting -- making it possible to cover everything you want to cover in your civil procedure class. The authors, two of whom have been awarded a total of four Distinguished Teaching Awards at their host institution, also provide lots of problems in the Note materials for those professors who prefer to discuss the materials through the use of hypotheticals. To make this book even more attractive, the authors have prepared an extensive Teacher's Manual with lengthy discussion of the cases, why those cases were chosen, and various pedagogic suggestions with respect to the materials. The authors intend to supplement the book with an online set of interactive diagnostic materials that first-year students will find particularly helpful.
