Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in business law, this popular and engaging casebook provides a modern framework for teaching Business Associations and Corporations.

Chapters addressing fiduciary duties, controlling shareholders, shareholder information rights, and mergers and acquisitions have been extensively revised to incorporate recent Delaware statutory amendments, significant judicial decisions, updates to the Model Business Corporation Act, and the increasing competition among states to attract corporate incorporations.

Designed to promote active learning and classroom engagement, the text features clear explanatory breakout boxes, practical examples, and carefully crafted discussion questions that encourage students to connect legal doctrine with real-world business issues and policy considerations.
