This book is an abridged version of the same title. This abridged version provides cases and materials on agency law and on unincorporated business entities: general partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies. This edition is particularly designed for one or two credit hour courses that are limited to these topics. It first develops the principles of agency law and then draws on those foundational principles in exploring partnerships and limited liability companies. Problems are provided after key sections to enhance discussion and review of various key concepts.
