Folsom, Gordon, Spanogle and Fitzgerald's International Business Transactions: A Problem-Oriented Coursebook, 9th

by Ralph H. Folsom

A popular, problem-oriented coursebook, International Business Transactions introduces law students to the conduct of business in the world community, with problems on trade, licensing, and investment. Its coverage is wide-ranging: international sales, letters of credit, e-commerce, trade law, the World Trade Organization, the European Union, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), customs law, export and import controls, intellectual property and licensing, franchising, foreign investment, international finance, commercial arbitration, and international business litigation. The coursebook provides hard-to-find legal documents and explains issues that corporate clients are likely to face, such as defending against important competition, expanding exports and overseas markets, and foreign corrupt payments.

[J B · Rating 2 out of 5]

The "problem-based approach" employed throughout text is an original, useful, and illuminating method of legal pedagogy. However, much of the text is often outdated and poorly edited, such that the most recent edition confounds rather than clarifies.

In short, this text has not been taken care of in subsequent editions (although the new additions certainly profit the authors/editors/publishers). Little has been done to update, organize, or enhance this text. It is in need of a substantial overhaul. Until then, it is extremely overpriced, and thus disappointing.

A Must read if you are in international business.

Serves as a textbook in some internatinal law courses.
