Description
Business in the Contemporary Legal Environment is a well-written, comprehensive coursebook providing complete coverage of the areas typically included in a one-semester legal environment course. The authors explain various areas of the law in plain English, with an emphasis on the implications and applications of these areas in a business setting. A combination of classic and contemporary cases clearly illustrates how the law is applied. In addition, helpful discussion questions and You Decide questions at the end of each chapter teach students how to identify and analyze legal issues that are frequently encountered in business. Thoughtful pedagogy and well-designed exhibits throughout the book help make the concepts easier to understand.

Every chapter begins with a Classic Case, a case from the past that helped to set the precedents for the material covered in the chapter. Some examples include Griggs v. Duke Power Co. and New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. The authors then conclude each chapter with a Contemporary Case, a recent decision that shows a current application of one of the principles discussed in the chapter. Many of the Contemporary Cases are 2019 and 2020 U.S. Supreme Court cases, such as Iancu v. Brunetti (free speech and trademark law); Lamps Plus, Inc. v. Varela (class action arbitration with employees); Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California (constitutionality of DHS’s decision to stop DACA).
