An extensive teacher's manual provides detailed answers and lines of discussion for every question and problem in the book. ? Thorough coverage of uniform and model statutes (including the MBCA and the Restatement (Third) of Agency) as well as Delaware statutes. ? A statutory supplement specifically designed to accompany the book by including all of the cited statutes and comments.
