Look Inside

This casebook is meant to be different. While it examines all the issues other casebooks examine and uses familiar cases, it brings history, political and moral philosophy, sociology, psychology, and, of course, economics, to bear upon the study of corporate law. Using this multidisciplinary approach, the authors explore the corporation not only as the most prominent means for conducting business, as other casebooks do, but also as an extremely powerful social, cultural, and political actor. The authors believe that attention to these different aspects equips students to be better corporate lawyers and better lawyer citizens in a rapidly growing global society.

The casebook is arranged so as to be conducive to a variety of teaching methods. In addition to the cases, the authors include notes and ask probing questions after each case. They have their own views of many of the questions, but they attempt to avoid any clear bias. In their own teaching, they have found that many of these questions lead to important and lively doctrinal and theoretical discussions.
