I just got the author's copies of the new edition of our agency case book and I think it looks great. There are a lot of new features, including several new cases:
- Rash v. Intermediate, Ltd.
- Davis v. Loftus
- Sandvick v. LaCrosse
- Nemec v. Shrader
- RNR Investments Ltd. Partnership v. Peoples First Community Bank
- Fisk Ventures, LLC v. Segal
- Gottsacker v. Monnier
- Racing Investment Fund 2000 LLC v. Clay Ward Agency, Inc.
- R&R Capital v. Buck & Doe Run Valley Farms.
The book also contains many points for discussion, hypotheticals, and executive summaries.
I think the most exciting feature, however, is that this is our first interactive case book. Working with Foundation Press, we have created a learning resource we believe is more in tune with the ways that law students think and learn today. As we know, students are familiar with online legal research resources and accustomed to electronic materials. Accordingly, an electronic version of Agency, Partnerships and Limited Liability Entities accompanies the print version to provide students with interactive study and research tools that include:
- Hyperlinks to westlaw.com that provide full text of cases, statutes, Restatements, and articles
- A searchable text function that allows users to highlight and annotate selected text
- Live links to related websites and other online material
Each book includes a keycode that provides access to the online version of the book for 12 months. Students interested in purchasing only the online version may do so at store.westlaw.com. This should help make the case book both more user friendly and, at least in its digital form, less expensive.
