Examining Business Law Through Real Cases

Business Law: Legal Environment, Online Commerce, Business Ethics, and International Issues is an engaging text that teaches readers about the workings of business law by examining real case studies and examples. The material explores core issues in both national and international business law in depth while remaining brief and concise.

The Ninth Edition has been updated with a wealth of new cases from the U.S. Supreme and Federal Courts for readers to investigate, as well as new examples of environmental, digital and international business legal cases. An exploration of ethics takes business law education a step further by teaching readers how to practice justly. Illustrated with beautiful imagery, Business Law uses tangible examples that readers will be able to reference in their future careers to introduce readers to this important topic.
