Basic But Good Coverage

The book may be a bit basic for anyone with a business background. But it is a good overview for a lot of topics and business basics that most law students will cover at some point or another during law school.

Useful for lawyers who need to learn about business

BUSINESS BASICS is a very comprehensive overview of business issues designed for law students and lawyers. Students taking a basic course in corporations or business associations will find it useful, especially if they lack a business background. It covers not only corporate law, but also such broader topics as insurance, retirement planning, real estate purchases, and the like. Relatively little traditional doctrinal analysis; more an explanation of how business works. Don't think of it as a study aid for your corporations class-think of it as a one volume equivalent of an undergraduate business administration program. On that basis, I highly recommend it.
