Business law is an all encompassing guide that covers all aspects of the legal profession. If you’re looking to improve your business, you can’t just take the one that’s offered in this book and assume you’ll be able to apply it to your own practice. There are so many other books that cover the same topics, so you should definitely check out those first.
The problem is this book is so long. Its the 16th edition of the 16th edition. So you will have to wait a while to get it if you dont really want to read it. It is not just long, but bloated. I think I read this book in about an hour. I mean, that is a lot of stuff. It is one thing to learn about your legal issues, but then you have to read a lot of case law and statutes.
To be fair, the 16th edition has some of the most important cases, for example the famous 16th circuit case in the 20th Century. In it, the court held that if a company failed to pay the wages of its employees for more than two months without giving them the opportunity to find other employment, it would be liable for a $10,000 in damages. The court also held that a company could not be held liable if it failed to pay wages and overtime to its employees.
For those of you who don’t want to have to go through the hassle of ordering a book from the library, or you’re too lazy to buy one, why not borrow it from the internet? The 16th is a great book, and it is available for free. However, if you want to read, you can read online via the 16th edition’s website.
The 16th edition is the first edition of the business law text and is a great reference book for anyone trying to do business in the USA.
I have been reading the 16th edition for the past couple of years, but I have not always had a go at it. I am definitely going to have to pay attention to the website and the author, and maybe even spend a little cash to have it downloaded as a PDF. I am curious as to whether this new edition will be a better choice because it is more recent than the previous edition.
I think we can all agree that the first edition of the 16th edition is the better choice and one of the better business law texts for business owners. It is packed with more and more useful information. The new edition is also more recent and contains less content, but it is the first edition (that is new to me) so I can’t compare the two.
The new edition is the best choice, but it can be a little confusing to find if you have the old and new editions available. For example, the first edition had the section “Business and Corporate Law” which is in the new edition. It has moved to the new edition but the text from the old edition is still in the old edition. This means that you will need to open both of the books to find this section.
I just looked at the new edition and it is the same old stuff. It has the same section Business and Corporate Law that is in the old edition, but the new edition also has the section “Law of Contract” which is the section I was reading. I guess the new edition is more about law, but it also has some other sections I didn’t care for..
