Enterprise Organizations: Law, Theory, and Practice

Second Edition (published 2026). This is a law school casebook suitable for courses on corporations, business organizations, and the like. I have aimed to make it modern, accessible, practical, and affordable. Key features include: Up-to-date treatment of agency, partnership, corporations, LLCs, and business trusts -- with emphasis on corporations. Full treatment of the classic cases. Enough coverage of adjacent business-law subjects—e.g., corporate finance; accounting; debtor-creditor law; and the ‘34 Act and other regulatory legislation—to enrich students' understanding of enterprise organization law "proper" while also laying a foundation for deeper study of those subjects. Brief but important treatment of nonprofit corporations—sufficient to analyze, for example, the ongoing governance convulsions at OpenAI—as well as cooperatives and federal corporations. Contemporary issues and examples throughout. All cases thoroughly edited for conciseness and clarity.
