Boooring.

I'll be mostly honest: I skimmed the last 100-ish pages. The book is very dense, but our professor made it accessible. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand-alone textbook. Having said that, for all I know the other Corp. textbooks are even denser and less approachable.

[Justin]

can’t in good faith recommend it but hey I’ve seen worse

[Becca Maginn]

The only textbook we read front to back. Much more informative than all of my business minor classes combined.

[Channah]

Read for class Fall 2023

[Taylorann]

Needs more pictures and bigger font.

[emily moore]

I almost killed myself but it was such a sweet finish

[Eli Burkhardt]

Fun fact, I accidentally bought the wrong edition. But it was ok because, despite assigning the most recent edition, the professor also clearly operated off of the old edition 😮‍💨

[Irina Kebreau]

Odd that this book receives such poor reviews. It does at times presumes some prior knowledge if not the lingo, but is otherwise a pretty good and, most importantly, compact guide into the issue of business associations.

[Chrys]

I think it was well organized and had interesting readings and selection of cases, but some of the explanations were a bit confusing and hard to follow. You will need the statutory supplement because it keeps referring back to it and doesn't have the provisions in the textbook.

[Lauraleigh]

Ugh, law school.

Yale Law, 2L Fall, Business Organizations with Professor Richard Squire.

[Brendan Horan]

Probably the best book I've ever read on the law of business organizations. Not exactly a page turner, but very illuminating. The section on DGCL § 102(b)(7) could probably use a bit more clarity.
