SummaryTable of ContentsAuthor Biography
As a practical, brief, non-technical introduction to business law topics, using real court cases summarized by the authors, this book is for the business law survey class offered to business majors, paralegal students, and others in two-year schools. New and expanded topics include sexual harassment, computer law, and employment law topics such as ADA and the FMLA. Brief ethics questions are integrated throughout the text, and new real world examples make the text more user-friendly.
