BA Casebook 6th Edition

Foundation Press has just announced the forthcoming publication of the Sixth Edition of the Business Associations case book that I coauthor with Bill Klein and Mark Ramseyer. We have also rolled out a website devoted to the case book, which will have lots of materials for law professors who adopt the text: www.business-associations.com. The discussion board might prove particularly useful as a resource for chatting about both substantive legal issues and teaching strategy.

Here's the announcement in full text:

The Sixth Edition, to be published in June, is a concise, up-to-date casebook that examines the law of agency, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations. Adopted in more than 100 schools since its initial publication, this book continues to emphasize the importance of a clear understanding of agency and partnership principles in the study of corporate law. This new edition contains a number of important developments and interesting new cases since the prior edition, including:

• Comprehensive Teacher's Manual

Page proofs of the Sixth Edition casebook and teacher's manual are now available at the authors' new website. Log on now to www.Business-Associations.com to download the page proofs (located under Teacher's Resources). The new website also has numerous materials for verified adopters, including a discussion board, sample exams, electronic copies of the Teacher's Manual, cases from earlier editions that some adopters may wish to use, and more.
