Corporate Finance: Principles and Practice takes a finance-oriented approach to this body of law, instead of the typical casebook approach. Students don't learn finance from the cases; instead, they first learn financial principles, and then apply the finance they've learned to analyze and understand the cases. The book emphasizes what students will need to know as lawyers practicing in the area with an emphasis on the contractual solutions employed to deal with the various conflicts and ambiguities that arise in the area.
