Understanding Corporate Law is designed to assist students by offering a clear and comprehensive treatment of key concepts in corporate law.

Significant business, economic, and policy issues are highlighted in connection with a thorough analysis of the important cases and statutory provisions used in the study of corporations.

In each chapter, the authors identify important policies and discuss the relationship of the law as it has developed to those policies. Statutory issues are covered under both the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Revised Model Business Corporation Act. This Understanding treatise is designed to be used in conjunction with all of the major corporate law casebooks.
