Overview
Beatty/Samuelson/Abril’s 10th Edition of BUSINESS LAW AND THE LEGAL ENVIRONMENT, Standard Edition, introduces principles of business law and today's legal environment with a reader-friendly presentation. Current examples, engaging stories and more than 1,600 cases are used to illustrate complex concepts to help increase student comprehension. The authors leverage their professional experiences to address emerging legal trends -- such as generative AI, Cryptocurrency, social media influencers and the gig economy -- and showcase legal concept application in everyday business practice. MindTap digital resources reinforce learning with a simplified learning path that moves students from comprehension to application.
- Updated chapter openers utilize relevant examples like Snapchat and the Netflix show Baby Reindeer to engage students.
- Updated and expanded coverage of key topics include artificial intelligence, social media, internet fraud, privacy, gig workers, unpaid internships, antitrust and SPACs.
- More than 35 new cases and updated examples with recognizable businesses such as Snapchat, X, Uber, Chase, Facebook and Google illustrate relevancy in students’ everyday lives.
- The text includes discussions and coverage of recent decisions (e.g., Is it a crime for parents to pay bribes to get their children into college? Is a board of directors liable for buying Jay-Z’s failed business?).
- The carefully crafted, reader-friendly presentation filled with stories draws students into memorable class discussions, while vivid and entertaining fact patterns increase retention.
- Relevant and meaningful content encourages your students to understand the importance of a law course and emerge better prepared to negotiate contracts, join the workforce and start companies.
- Ethical questions threaded throughout the text help students understand the important relationship between today's law and ethics, preparing them for their future careers.
- Proven learning features, like You Be the Judge, help students prepare for exams and engage in meaningful class discussions while strengthening critical-thinking skills.
