Review
This is still the best book on the market for the Business Law courses taught at my University.

The authors have selected Cases that are relevant and interesting. I appreciate the variety among the chapters and the appropriate length and depth of the cases.

Business Law-Smith and Roberson
This book is well-organized and written. It covers the major
subject areas for the CPA exam thoroughly. There is more than
adequate treatment in the areas of contract law, sales
transactions, agency, partnerships, corporate formation and
the minor subject areas of the CPA examination. There is good
coverage of legal foundations with ample exercises to develop
the legal concepts presented. This work should be retained for
use as a reference guide. In addition, it is easy to read and understand.

good quality book for class
i bought this book for a Business law class that I am currently enrolled in, and so far it has held up to my expectations of a law text.
the seller was very prompt and the book came in near perfect condition.

Concise, and usually accurate, with good examples
A good overview of US law. There are issues which are matters of opinion and not explained well enough (ex. ethics), and perhaps needn't be addressed at all in a law book. The examples and the references make it a worthy purchase overall.
