Business Law offers a basic explanation of the legal rights and responsibilities of people in both the public and private sectors. Co-authored by a practicing attorney and a college professor, the text features practical and up-to-date content written in clear, straightforward language. The authors avoid using court jargon and show rather than tell students about the law with in-text examples, current and interesting cases, and ethical dilemmas. In-text examples immediately illustrate and reinforce the concepts under review. At the end of each chapter, Cases for Review present mini-cases and prompt students to review the facts and make a judgment based on concepts learned in the chapter. Questions and Problems to Discuss test students' comprehension of key chapter topics. Designed specifically for use with the Seventh Edition, the technology program includes a range of instructor and student resources.

I am using this textbook, as a text in my Business Law Class. I am actually re-reading it in preparation for teaching the material again. I enjoy that this publisher provides a test bank, PowerPoint material, and chapter lecture notes for instructors who are using this material to teach. I enjoy that the text prvides an overview of Business Law, which includes about three chapters that cover the specifics of law, and describes terms in great detail, that is not necessarily specific to Business. I have also read the eighth edition fo this text as well.

I had to read this book for my class business law II online course. So most of my class was reading with no help from a teacher like in a sit down class. I was a little scared because online class are mostly self-taught. I thought I wouldn't be able to understnad the way laws are written, seeing some from case studies. But I liked this book. It was easy to read, broke the laws down into simple language and even gave examples of situations the law would apply. I honestly want to keep it for just general referance of laws but its on loan from the school.
