Book Review: Principles of Law
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Summary of Law, Business, and Society
Law, Business, and Society, 8/e, by Tony McAdams, takes an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing elements of law, political economy, international business, ethics, social responsibility and management. The author produces a compelling holistic picture of these concepts by giving extensive attention to readings, provocative quotes and factual details. Students learn not merely the law but the law in context.Business Law Books
