This is a great casebook! Anyone who has sat through a law school class knows that most casebooks are pretty bad. They are filled with pointless cases and most lack a solid narrative to help "connect the dots," so to speak, between the various concepts in the course. Not this book, though! Prof. McDermott (a partner at a prestigious NYC firm) has written perhaps the best casebook I've used so far in my legal studies. The cases are well chosen and clear; the narrative is very instructive, and there are plenty of examples of model corporate finance documents and materials (e.g. indentures, arts. of incorp., statutes, etc). The course practically teaches itself with this book! I, like many law students, normally rely heavily on secondary source outlines (e.g. Gilberts) for exam prep in each class. However, this casebook is so good that I honestly feel no need whatsoever to seek out commercial outlines to prepare me for the exam! This is a top notch book-- all professors and students of the legal aspects of corporate finance should give it a look.
