Corporate and Securities Law Study Aids and Guides
Are you ready for law school finals?
I’ve been swamped lately with getting ready for finals in Advanced Corporation Law and Mergers & Acquisitions, as have my students.
I’ve written several Foundation Press Concepts and Insights texts on corporate and securities law subjects. These are marketed by Foundation mainly as study aids for students. But I’ve tried to write them so as to be useful to lawyers and judges as well.
So with no further ado:
Corporate Law (5th edition)
Many students find their Corporation Law class difficult because they do not understand the transactions giving rise to those cases. As with its predecessors, this fifth edition is intended to assist students by not only restating the law but also by putting the law into its business and financial context. The pedagogy is up-to-date, with a strong emphasis on the doctrinal issues taught in today's Corporations classes. The text is highly readable: The style is simple, direct, and reader-friendly. Even when dealing with complicated economic or financial issues, the text seeks to make those issues readily accessible.
Agency, Partnerships & LLCs (Fourth edition)
This thoroughly-updated edition provides a comprehensive guide to the law of agency relationships, partnerships, and limited liability companies. In addition to detailed treatment of the key legal issues, the text also provides balanced analyses of the policies underlying the law. The reader thus comes away not only with a knowledge of the law but also an understanding of why courts and legislatures chose those rules. The text incorporates frequent references to the most up-to-date sources of the law, including those most frequently encountered in law school courses, such as the Restatement (Third) of Agency, the Uniform Partnership Act, and the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act. In addition, to account for the increasing dominance of Delaware as the state in which limited liability companies are formed, the new edition pays considerable attention to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act.
Mergers and Acquisitions (4th edition)
This text provides a concise statement of the state corporate and federal securities laws governing mergers and acquisitions law. It is designed for law students taking advanced business law courses such as mergers and acquisitions or corporate finance, lawyers practicing in corporate takeovers, and judges faced with cases arising out of such transactions. This thoroughly updated fourth edition features a considerably expanded treatment of practical aspects, such as drafting merger agreements, preparing disclosure documents, and dealing with takeover defenses.
Insider Trading Law and Policy (Second edition)
This thoroughly revised and updated text is for use in law school classes on insider trading, securities regulation, or business associations. In a thorough yet compact fashion, it offers a clear and direct exposition of the law and policy concerns raised by this important and high-profile area of the law. The author provides sufficient detail for a complete understanding of the subject without getting bogged down in minutiae. Faculty interested in teaching a short course on insider trading or making insider trading a major part of a course in securities or corporate law will find the text highly teachable, while students taking such a course using other materials will find it a useful study aid.
