Author Description

The number one choice in today's legal environment course, Cross/Miller's THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS: TEXT AND CASES provides comprehensive, authoritative coverage using an interesting, accessible approach. This 11TH EDITION focuses on the context of law in today's increasingly regulated business world. Dozens of examples, business-oriented features, and step-by-step analyses provide meaningful context for every topic. Students learn how today's legal environment is more about the constraints of business than simple rules of law as the authors highlight managerial decision-making and current events. Ethics becomes a priority with a new, unique framework -- the IDDR Approach -- for making ethical decisions. The authors focus less on “black letter law” and more on broader legal issues facing business owners and managers. Updated cases -- from precedent-setting landmarks to important recent decisions – and critical-thinking exercises challenge students to apply what they have learned to today's legal landscape.
