Boooring.

I'll be mostly honest: I skimmed the last 100-ish pages. The book is very dense, but our professor made it accessible. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand-alone textbook. Having said that, for all I know the other Corp. textbooks are even denser and less approachable.

can’t in good faith recommend it but hey I’ve seen worse

[Becca Maginn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only textbook we read front to back. Much more informative than all of my business minor classes combined.

Needs more pictures and bigger font.

I almost killed myself but it was such a sweet finish

[Irina Kebreau · Rating 2 out of 5]

Odd that this book receives such poor reviews. It does at times presumes some prior knowledge if not the lingo, but is otherwise a pretty good and, most importantly, compact guide into the issue of business associations.

[Chrys · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think it was well organized and had interesting readings and selection of cases, but some of the explanations were a bit confusing and hard to follow. You will need the statutory supplement because it keeps referring back to it and doesn't have the provisions in the textbook.

Ugh, law school.

Yale Law, 2L Fall, Business Organizations with Professor Richard Squire.

[Brendan Horan]

Probably the best book I've ever read on the law of business organizations. Not exactly a page turner, but very illuminating. The section on DGCL § 102(b)(7) could probably use a bit more clarity.
