Book Description

Great purchase experience - no problems!.......2007-01-21
The text was as described with no issues. The delivery was prompt and handled in a professional manner. I recommend this seller.
Poorly organized, out of date, long winded.......2007-01-18
The book is poorly organized, out of date, and long winded. If you are a professor, look elsewhere. If you are a student who has to use this, try for used -- that way you won't feel so bad when you throw it away.
Not too bad for a casebook.......2005-07-30
The structure could be better, but I do like how the book explains the rationales and policies in the notes between cases; it makes the cases themselves much more cognizable if you read the notes after the cases first.
... better get a good commercial outline.......2004-02-23
this book is maddening. it zigzags through material in an incomprehensible fashion. you have to work so hard to see which cases go together and how they go together. it certainly doesn't make it easy.
Hamilton has a Nutshell outline, which is okay. The Casenote Outline is quite good in my opinion.
Quite possibly the WORST textbook EVER.......2003-10-29
If this book shows up on the syllabus for your Corporations class, run. There has never been a worse textbook published in the history of academia. The typos are beyond unacceptable. The flow of material makes no sense, and there is no commentary from the authors in between sections to explain why the authors seem to think the topics should be discussed in that order. The cases are incredibly badly edited. One example, out of too many to even count, is in the first case on the law of corporate directors' duty of care. The court's holding about which defendants should be liable is left in, but none of the facts about any of those defendants are in the book at all. Definitions are non-existent, and in the rare places where the authors do try to actually explain concepts, the text is full of errors and the explanations are badly written. Robert Hamilton and Jonathan Macey (the authors) should be ashamed of themselves. You'd be better off typing "business" into Westlaw or Lexis and learning it yourself.
Product Description
Fundamentals of Corporate Taxation teaches the fundamentals of a highly complex subject with skillfully drafted problems, explanatory text, and a selective mix of original source materials. The coursebook incorporates all relevant changes from recent acts, including the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Important new highlights include discussions on the impact of reduced tax rates on qualified dividends, new rules limiting the transfer or importation of built-in-losses, and the response by courts and the Internal Revenue Service to corporate tax shelters. The sixth edition also contains new material on corporate reorganizations and S corporations, rulings on Section 351 control requirements and corporate divisions, and more permissive eligibility requirements and other new statutory rules.

Corporate Taxaxtion - Lind.......2005-07-07
The book is great for case law. However, in order to grasp major concepts, you will need many supplements. There is a case brief book out on the market, which is keyed to the Lind book. Additionally, West publishes an accompanying book that serves as an outline and summarizes general concepts.
Product Description
Provides law teachers with a relatively simple, easy to use casebook to teach U.S. international taxation. The field is notoriously complexmore so, perhaps, than any other area of Federal tax law. The focus is on how the details of the tax law fit into a broader structure, which is described in the introduction. Enables students to fit the particular issues they are working on into a larger context, to develop an intuition for where the problem areas may lie.

Product Description
Continuing the tradition that has made it a leader in its field, Problems on Professional Responsibility uses problems to provide an overview of lawyers' professional responsibility. One of the most rapidly changing fields in American law, professional responsibility sees new issues, rules and cases each year, all of which are covered in this book. The Ninth Edition covers the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which were extensively rewritten in 2002; the American Law Institute's Restatement Third, The Law Governing Lawyers, and issues raised by federal agencies that play an important role in determining lawyer standards. Other changes to this edition include more citing authorities, fewer black letter questions and issues in each problem to allow more time for discussion and questions; and the integration of readings into discussion materials.

Not so hot overview of Agency & Corp Law.......2005-12-17
I was unimpressed with this book. Many in my class struggled because of the way the book was thrown together.
My main problems are the lack of explanation for key concepts, other than a reference to a cut-down case and the questionable decision to use cases that don't clearly explain the issue at hand.
I was thrown off at first when I couldn't find some of the cases in Lexis or WestLaw. Rather than relying on an on-topic US SC case or even a Fed circuit case, some key concepts get examples that are unpublished lower-court decisions where the judge makes either the wrong decision or the right decision for the wrong rulings. The book does not point out the error of the court when it does this. Most of the time this happened, my professor would point out that we should ignore this case and learn the concept from a study guide or his class notes. In an ideal BA book, the authors wouldn't try to trick students by giving them bad examples of the law (or without explaining that the examples have faulty legal logic).
If you are reading this review, you are likely either a law student or a law professor. If you are a professor, please think twice about using this book. If you are a student, you will have no choice in the matter. If you find yourself struggling then read the Lexis and Westlaw briefs or get the High Court Summary for this book. My school bookstore didn't have the HC summaries for this book, but Amazon did.
great book!.......2003-09-03
this book is very good because it help me a lot in my studies. and also give me knowledge that i really want.

Book Description
Materials reflect changing trends and new judicial developments. Each chapter includes a problem that focuses on class discussion. Many of the problems place students in the role of corporate planners, rather than litigators, and allow instructors to highlight the real-world impact of doctrinal uncertainty as concerns the scope of the director's duty of care. The organization of the book also reflects the growing importance, doctrinally and structurally, of the business judgment rule. The early business judgment rule discussion facilitates discussion at later stages of how the rule affects the choice of organizational form and creates a need for more elaborate governance mechanisms in close corporations. Extensive notes provide students with necessary background information.
Customer Reviews:
Decent text.......2004-12-08
Interesting discussion. Pertinent and recent cases covered (such as Disney Derivate suit involving Michael Ovitz). Helpful discussion, full discussion of theory and policy.
defective structure.......2000-04-05
The problem of corporate groups is the great problem of the corporation law . This book doesn't contain this subject,so I think the main defect of this book lies in the unreasonable structure.
