Product Description
Upon its original publication in 1963, Corley's Legal Environment of Business was the first and only business law textbook to emphasize public rather than private law, government regulation of business rather than contracts, and legal relationships rather than business transactions. A major innovation, it established a new course that the authors termed the "legal environment" of business. Over the years others have attempted to attain the success and stature of The Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business, but none has been able to match its timely, innovative coverage. Substantially updated, the tenth edition continues the text's reputation for ethics, authority, and coverage of current areas of importance to business.

an excellent read March 12, 2007
This is being used as a text for a graduate level class. It is enjoyable to read, interesting, lucid, and well organized. The index and glossary are well structured. The authors make excellent use of bold text within the material and have plenty of helpful sidebar notes.
 Good Introduction to Business Law July 29, 2006
This was the textbook for an introductory course in business law I took. It does a great job at laying the groundwork of the US legal system and explodes many common myths. A large amount of material is covered clearly and consisely. The chapters on contracts and constitutional law alone are worth the price of the book. The authors do a good job hitting the high points and not getting bogged down in details that are inappropriate for an introductory course.
There are a few typographical errors that carried over to the thirteenth edition and ought to have been caught. Because this is a survey course, the reader may find supplemental material such as a law dictionary necessary to understand some of the finer points.

Like many Americans, I didn't know much about our country's principles of government or its legal system. This book helped me to become more knowledgeable about both. I admit, this is not reading I would choose to curl up with in front of the fire; this was part of a requirement for my MBA. However, I will remember what I've learned in this text long after my class ends. Having previously been clueless about the legal system, it is now exhilarating to read about, say, how the nine US Supreme Court Justices are dealing with the aftermath of the Gore vs. Bush debacle and actually understand what is going on. The chapters are well-organized and easy to understand. There are even helpful study tips and ways to brief a legal case in the beginning of the text. After completing this book, I not only feel better equipped to handle business decisions, but also feel empowered and enlightened for better understanding our great country.
