Used in MBA program
This book was used for my law and ethics class in my MBA program. The book is actually quite good in breaking down business topics and looking at the precedents that helped shape our current laws. The book is also good at applying the law to actual events such as the Enron scandal and other legal events in the past few years. While some people might say that it is a waste of time to read this book because you are not going to become lawyers, I would argue that it is important to at least have a basic understanding of some business law.

I would have to compliment the teacher that picks this book for their course. The book is interesting and easy to read. The fact that most of the cases are from real life situations makes the reading more interesting and easy to follow! Great book.

Excellent Supplement
This book provides an excellent supplement to a regular college business law text by exposing real world dilemmas, and how they were handled by the courts. Can be used to generate discussion on ethical responsibilities, sexual harassment, and some aspects of agency law.
