Must Buy For All Business Students!.......2007-08-24
I took Henry Cheeseman's Business Law class at USC and he is an amazing professor! His book shows it all. Out of all my textbooks in my undergraduate and graduate studies, this is by far the most easy/fun to read textbook, while explaining everything in detail with many case examples!
If you want to get a general idea of what exactly law and business law is, then this is the book to buy. After reading this book, my interest in law sparked! I am actually planning on reading through it one more time to refresh my memory!
Packed with relevant information, page by page.......2007-05-06
This is the first college textbook that gets five stars from me. In his preface to the students, Dr. Cheeseman calls this book a labor of love. He did not exaggerate. It really shows that this book was written for students. The field of business law is vast, but Dr. Cheeseman manages to cover the essential in one book.
Page by page, he delivers relevant information. His explanations are short and to the point. He reinforces the concepts with carefully selected cases. One of the book's strong features is also its structure. The chapters are organized in a logical and easy to follow fashion. Finally, one gets a little intercultural perspective through Dr. Cheeseman's photography from places and people all over the world.
In short, this book's got it. I give it two thumbs up.
Best Business Law Intro Book.......2007-02-05
Very well written introduction to all aspects of Business Law. Includes up-to-date references and lots of examples. If you want to learn the basics of business and corporate law then this book is for you.
Great overview book of Business Law.......2007-02-03
This book is full of useful information regarding business law and takes into consideration the ever changing world of international business and e-commerce. I found the book to be easy to read and the use of cases to clarify the type of law or statute being discussed helped to tie everything together in a format that could be understood by the average student. I would suggest this book to anyone who wants a reference manual on business law to keep on their shelf and is a interesting reading for business law classes.
Good book that isn't overly dense with difficult wording, full with pertinent cases.......2006-11-14
I really enjoy readnig from this book, which can't be said for all the books I read for class. This books presents information in an easy reading manner and is full of many pertinent court cases. I think the inclusion of so many cases is important as it illistrates concepts while at the same time keeps the readers attention since they are real world settings that are more easily digested.
The only downside to this book, and thus one reason for only four stars, is its large size, which is probably common for most business law books. This book is very hefty! I like reading outdoors at a park or sitting on a bench and this book was mostly too large for me to do this. It would be beneficial to have this book either split to two books, or in an electronic version so that only the sections to be studied can easily be taken with the reader.
Overall great book!

Customer Reviews:
Too Small.......2005-09-19
The book is useful, but it's too small. I didn't see a size listed. This book is only 7"by 5". It makes the exhibits nearly impossible to read without a magnifying glass.
Product Description
High Court Case Summaries on Business Associations, keyed to Klein's Casebook on Business Associations 5th edition. Contains well-prepared briefs for each major case in Klein's casebook on business associations, 5th ed. High Court briefs are written to present the essential facts, issue, decision and rationale for each case in a clear, concise manner. While prepared briefs can never substitute for the insight gained by actually reading a case, these briefs will help readers to identify, understand, and absorb the core take away knowledge from each case. Moreover, these briefs are followed by a useful legal analysis, which provides extra tips and contextual background about each case, connecting the case to the broader concepts being developed throughout the casebook. This book also supplies case vocabulary, which defines new or unusual legal words found throughout the cases. Finally, to enhance the reader's recall, there is a corresponding memory graphic for each brief that portrays an entertaining visual representation of the relevant facts or law of the case.
Customer Reviews:
Great Synopsis.......2007-07-24
It provides the usual memorable cartoons, useful summaries, and thoughtful commentary. Unlike some of the others, like Constitutional Law, I would not rely on the Summaries alone though - there is far too much stuff in the afternotes that obviously cannot be analyzed by the book alone.
But if you like HCCS, I recommend it highly. Its an excellent introduction, and helps you cut through much of the legal verbiage to hone in on what you need to know.

Completely helpful.......2007-01-05
For a small company, this book was just what we needed. It outlined different state requirements, some common pitfalls, and provided sample text for editing. Overall, just what we needed to be a professional little business.
Great Book.......2006-11-05
It's very easy to read and has a wealth of information in it.
Worth its weight in gold!!!.......2004-05-18
This book should be on every employer's bookshelf! I am so impressed by how comprehensive, well organized, and easy to use it is. Steingold really knows what he's talking about, he explains all of the complex laws and regulations that trip up unprepared employers and result in expensive lawsuits. Thanks to this book I learned the best ways to comply with OSHA, wage-and-hour laws, sexual harassment and discrimination laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act and many many more. You owe it to yourself to know your rights and responsibilities as an employer and to protect your company from needless litigation.
A mile wide and several feet deep.......2000-11-16
An excelent, readable, survey of the law on this topic. The greatest strengths of the book are two-fold. First, it is written in easy to follow, plain english. Second, it is amazingly comprehensive. I have been practicing employment law in two millenia, and this is the book that I use (after reviewing dozens) to teach non-lawyer classes on the topic. As with any survey book, it doesn't cover the details of the many topics it touches. You don't want to use this book to deal with comprehensive planning or an employment law dispute. But if you read this book you'll understand much of the language and many of the concerns of the experienced human resources professional or lawyer that you need.
Protect your business from employee and government law suits.......2000-09-23
Here is the book that will teach you what you need to know to keep compliance with the law and protect your business. Easy to read and comprehend, this book will help you promote fair business practices and avoid lawsuits. Folks, there are many laws most business people don't know about. This book will bring you up to speed. It's a necessity for the small and large business alike.

Customer Reviews:
Passtrack Life, Accident and health insurance.......2004-08-20
This book is typical of many text books; dry and confusing. The material is presented in a dry and boring fashion. You will NOT want to read this book for any reason other than passing the insurance exam.
Good combination of Life & Health (Accident & Disability).......2002-07-06
Combines the Dearborne Pastrack Health Insurance & Life Insurance License Exam Manuals.
Overall it is a good study guide (I passed using this book with 2 weeks of leisurely at home study), but the test section could be revamped - it did not include enough questions that were like the ones on the actual exam (I took an Experior Online state exam).

99.99% of everything you'll ever need to know.......2003-02-28
Words cannot accurately describe just how awesome this book is. I thought the 4th edition was as complete as it could be, but THE ROSZ has certainly outdone himself here. His moving storyline protraying Joe Doaks in various legal situations along with landmark cases make for an easy, yet entertaining read. This book does for education what Leftkowitz v. GMSS (MN App. 1957) does for general contract law. Roszkowski brings the law to life in a way otherwise thought impossible. He must have a huge following in the law community. Any serious student must add this book to their library.
