Business Associations: A Modern Approach - Hwang -1st Edition

Description

Business Associations: A Modern Approach (ISBN: 9781636597782) offers an engaging, contemporary introduction to agency, partnership, and business entities, using fresh and timely cases to demonstrate the broad relevance of business law across multiple practice areas—including family law, immigration, labor, and entertainment. Many students approach the course primarily for bar preparation without realizing how deeply business law intersects with diverse fields of practice. Early cases—such as an agency case involving migrant workers and another addressing fair housing—help spark interest and show students the importance of these doctrines regardless of their career goals.

Modular Structure

The book is organized in flexible modules, enabling instructors to tailor the course to their teaching philosophy and their students’ needs. The authors themselves teach using different syllabi and emphasize different modules, illustrating the book’s adaptability.

Statutory Materials Included

Key statutory provisions and Restatement excerpts are integrated throughout the text, helping students develop the essential skill of reading, interpreting, and applying statutes and secondary authorities.

Light Scaffolding

The book’s lightly scaffolded design supports instructors with a range of theoretical approaches. Whether a professor prefers an ESG-centered perspective, a law-and-economics framework, or another lens entirely, the book is easy to adapt and supplement.

Case-Based Hypotheticals & Problems

Each chapter includes problems and hypotheticals modeled on real cases, with citations provided so students can review the original decisions and test their understanding.

Cathy and Paolo bring diverse backgrounds and rich teaching experience to the material. Both are award-winning educators who have taught Business Associations at a variety of institutions and are committed to keeping the casebook fresh, relevant, and enjoyable for students.
