This is a condensed version of the hardbound casebook, designed for use by teachers who have limited time but still want a fairly full exposure to the law.

The scope of coverage still includes all unincorporated forms of doing business. While new cases have been added and all materials have been updated, the main changes in this edition deal with partnerships and limited liability companies. Special attention is given to the effect of new or recently amended statutes, especially:

•  Uniform Limited Partnership Act (2001), and

•  Amendments to the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act.

The accompanying publication, Selected Statutes and Form Agreements, includes the Uniform Partnership Act (1914), Uniform Partnership Act (1997), the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (1916), the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (1976) with 1985 Amendments, the Uniform Limited Partnership Act (2001), the Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, a sample Limited Liability Operating Agreement, a sample General Partnership Agreement, the Uniform Statutory Form Power of Attorney Act, selected excerpts from the Restatement (Second) of Agency, and selected excerpts from the Restatement (Third) of Agency.

A Teacher's Manual is available to professors.

Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
