Book Reviews of Corporations: Examples & Explanations, Sixth Edition
Book Review: Far too in-depth for my Business Enterprises Course
Summary: 3 Stars
A Prefatory Note: Corporate law is exceptionally muddy and varies significantly from state to state. There is a huge amount of blackletter; different Corporations courses therefore focus on disparate areas of law, while being forced to pick and choose amongst different states' approaches. My "Business Enterprises" course used the Klein casebook. Like many Corporations (or Business Enterprises) classes, my class focused on Delaware law, with some New York law thrown in.
This E&E has a formidable task - there are so many areas of law to address (and many different state approaches). The result may be good for some Corporations classes, but it wasn't good for mine. The material went too far in depth. It was unmanageable. I recommend buying it all the same, because it will provide clarity/familiarity with difficult topics. But I strongly recommend that you pair it with a Crunchtime, or another study aid that provides a more summary overview. Some areas, your professor will want in-depth treatment. For these, use the E&E. But only use it for those areas. You can't just work through the whole E&E as a preparation for your exam.
My biggest concern: the E&E failed to present policy objectively. There was a significant policy aspect to my course (as is probably common, because the law is in great flux). And the E&E does devote substantial attention to policy, often very well, but at times took an overly pro-big-business approach. At least for my course, the E&E was unreliable, failing to present both sides on policy issues and taking an overly pro-big-business stance.
Overall, this is one of those areas where you should really learn the cases. Buy the E&E, but also buy the crunchtime. Only use the E&E for areas your prof. really focuses on.
