Business Associations: Agency, Partnerships and Corporations, 8th Ed.

Adopted in more than 100 schools, Business Associations, Agency, Partnerships and Corporations provides an overview of this important area of law. Co-author Stephen Bainbridge, who uses Microsoft PowerPoint in his class, has agreed to share his Business Associations PowerPoint slides with adopters of the Klein, Ramseyer & Bainbridge casebook.

The eighth edition of this concise, up-to-date casebook preserves the tradition of providing a comprehensive overview of agency, partnership, and corporation law. It continues to emphasize six basic editorial principles:

• Be lean but not mean - cases edited ruthlessly to produce a concise result
• Facts matter and are included in all their potential ambiguity
• Take a planner's perspective through extensive use of transactionally oriented problems
• It's a casebook, not a treatise - no long, stultifying textual passages
• Try to find cases that are fun to teach - great facts or a clever analysis have first priority in case selection
• Provide a teachers' manual that goes into depth, with analysis of every case offering the disparate views of each author

Corporation Law and Economics

Corporations classes present students with two related problems: First, many students have trouble understanding the cases studied because they do not understand the transactions giving rise to those cases. Second, Corporations classes at many law schools are taught from a law and economics perspective, which many students find unfamiliar and/or daunting. Yet, with few exceptions, corporate law treatises and other study aids have essentially ignored the law and economics revolution.

Agency, Partnership and Limited Liability Companies

The emergence of the limited liability company has kindled renewed interest in unincorporated business associations among legal scholars. This revival was further stimulated by the multiple revisions made to the Uniform Partnership Act in the 1990s. By lending new intellectual respectability to the study of unincorporated business associations, these developments stimulated the supply side of the curricular equilibrium. Courses on unincorporated business associations have thus sprung up at many law schools. A number of very fine casebooks compete for that market, including one co-edited by the author of this volume. This text is intended to provide students taking a course in unincorporated business associations with a reader-friendly, highly accessible overview of the law and economics of unincorporated business associations. In addition, students taking a basic course in corporations or business associations may find this volume helpful as a more expansive treatment of the law of agency, partnership, and limited liability companies. The text does not shy away from bringing theory to bear on doctrine. While the text has a strong emphasis on the doctrinal issues taught in today's unincorporated business associations classes, it also places significant emphasis on providing an economic analysis of the major issues in that course. Agency, Partnership and Limited Liability Companies thus offers not only with an overview of the black letter law of unincorporated business associations, but also a unifying method of thinking about the subject. Using a few basic tools of law and economics — such as price theory, game theory, and the theory of the firm literature - the reader will come to see the law in this area as the proverbial “seamless web.”
