Principles of Law,
By Scott (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Law, Business, and Society (Hardcover)
This book serves as a good introduction and overview of the major laws governing business in the U.S. However, more than just an intro to law, I believe the authors' intentions (if not made evident by Amazon's description) were teaching the reader how to think like a judge or lawyer, by giving them the legal foundation necessary and laying the groundwork for specific laws, not giving thorough and exhaustive coverage of the laws themselves, which takes a much bigger book. Through its presentation of many case files used to show a real-life judicial decision-making process pertaining to the topic at hand (contracts, employment law, etc.), I believe the book does a good job at developing these principles of (common) law. The only problem is, they leave most of this part up to you, merely presenting the cases but not discussing them, instead talking about some major laws in the bulk of the text. But it matters not, as long as the cases themselves are useful, which they were. For complete coverage of the ACTUAL laws (particularly the intricacies of statutory law and also the uniform commercial code (which, for a business law book I found sorely lacking no matter the intentions)), I guess I will have to look into getting one of those dreaded bigger books.

Review of Law, Business, and Society,
This review is from: Law, Business & Society (Hardcover)
McAdams, et. al. provide an interesting mix of economics, law, business, and ethics in this textbook aimed at upper level undergraduates. This interdiscplinary approach is especially appropriate for business courses which should examine these issues from multiple perspectives. My only reservation is that perhaps too much emphasis is placed on the legal dimension within the text.

Don't Buy,
This review is from: Law, business and Society with powerweb (Hardcover)
The book has no color at all, everything is in black and white; also the case files found in the book are briefed and are poor reflections from the orginal public documents. I had to buy this book for a college class, it was cheaper here than in the school book store but I feel the book is only worth $20.
