Examine the practical structure and function of today's legal system from the perspective of the professional business practitioner with Meiners/Ringleb/Edwards' popular THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS, 14E. This edition highlights law and regulatory areas of the legal environment that are most relevant and important in business today. This edition's traditional case focus is updated with almost 40% new cases to reflect today's legal changes. Court cases summarize background facts and present case decisions in the words of the courts, but the authors have carefully edited cases to focus only on key issues relevant to understanding the legal reasoning. You examine a range of legal topics with business-specific examples and meaningful cases that direct attention to key points of law. Infuse digital resources are also available to strengthen your comprehension of legal issues in business today.
