Description

Cases and Materials on Corporations 3rd Edition Thomas Hurst ISBN 9780769849126

The Third Edition of Cases and Materials on Corporations preserves the core structure of the previous edition—integrating discussion, notes, problems, and edited cases—while updating the content to better engage today’s students and reflect modern practice. With a strong focus on effective learning and practical relevance, this edition introduces newer cases that students are more likely to recognize and remember, including disputes arising from events such as the financial crisis and housing downturn, while retaining the foundational classics essential to corporate law.

The casebook emphasizes issues central to real-world legal practice, including corporate social responsibility, criminal law, family law, and professional ethics. It also provides comprehensive coverage of agency and partnership law, as well as the choice of business forms. Recognizing the growing importance of limited liability companies, the book includes substantially updated materials on LLCs, along with coverage of limited liability partnerships, reflecting their prominence as the preferred entity for small businesses.

Additional highlights of the Third Edition include a thoroughly revised chapter on management’s duties to the corporation; updated notes addressing significant statutory developments such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank Acts; and a reworked treatment of insider trading. The insider trading materials now include extensive explanatory notes that clarify the case law and regulatory framework leading to the adoption of the misappropriation theory by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Together, these updates ensure that the Third Edition equips students with both a strong doctrinal foundation and a practical understanding of contemporary corporate law.
