THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS is the #1 text for this course—setting the
standard by delivering comprehensive, authoritative, and cutting-edge coverage in an
interesting and accessible format.
Its recipe for success includes the same "black letter law" flavor as
its market-leading counterpart, BUSINESS LAW by Clarkson, Miller, and Cross, but with a
specific focus on current topics such as ethics, government regulation, and administrative
law.
The cases, content, and features of the exciting new Eighth Edition have been
thoroughly updated to represent the latest developments in the business law environment.
An excellent assortment of included cases ranges from precedent-setting landmarks to
important recent decisions, and ethical, global, and corporate themes are integrated
throughout.
In addition, numerous critical-thinking exercises challenge students to apply
what they've learned to real-world issues, and the text offers an unmatched range of
support materials—including innovative online teaching and learning resources.
It's no wonder that THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS is used by more colleges and
universities than any other legal environment text.
