A number of changes in this edition reflect new developments such as changes in many large law firms due to major increases in entry level salaries for associates; important revisions in the Model Business Corporation Act; recent developments in asset-protection of limited liability companies; two important decisions in Delaware on the duties and liabilities of directors of publicly held companies; the enactment of the Securities Litigation Uniform Securities Act (SLUSA); the adoption of new regulations, Rule 10b-5-1 and 10b-5-2; and adoption of new regulations relating to full disclosure by registered publicly held companies (Regulation FD) and the independence of auditors.
this book, like all other law school books, is dry, but managable because our 5 week course pairs it with Bainbridge's "Agancy, PArtnerships & LLCs" so the digest of the hamilton book is in bainbridge. Bainbridge = 199 pages, Hamilton = 1,074 pages. I read and highlight bainbridge then slam through Hamilton like a free burrito at a carnival will your digestive track. Seems to be working, final is 6/26/08 so... we shall see.
