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.

The Authors

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.

Rental Terms

Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.

Late Fees: Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
Damage Fees: Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
Return Shipping: Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
30-Day Cancellation: Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
