Students like you explain that this is the best text they have ever read and they had no idea law could be so interesting. This book uses conversational writing to explain complex topics and emerging legal trends in easy-to-understand language. With 75 years of combined teaching experience, these award-winning authors know how to clearly explain topics and keep your interest. Because the authors actually practiced law before they became teachers, they also describe how theories of law work in everyday business practice.
