unincorporated business forms, major tax aspects, securities regulation, antitrust aspects, Uniform Commercial Code and other relevant uniform acts, national securities exchange requirements, and bankruptcy and corporate reorganizations. Since its coverage encompasses and expands upon the curricular descriptions of most law school corporations courses, it should provide insights into many related areas. This third edition follows the traditional trilevel Hornbook approach: (1) The overview in the bold face summaries at the beginning of each of the 389 sections; (2) The adequate coverage of the laws in the 1171 pages of text; and (3) The guides to further information and research in the 5,769 footnotes. The table of more than 5,250 cases continues to be keyed to commentaries in legal periodicals. This third edition is designed to provide a comprehensive one-volume treatment of corporation laws, with special emphasis on developments during the past decade. It updates information on unincorporated business enterprises, especially under the 1976 Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, expands coverage of California law equaling it with coverage of the various current and earlier versions of the Model Business Corporation Act, Delaware, and New York; and treats the current propositions for corporate governance, burden of proof, right to jury trial, collateral estoppel, "independent" litigation committee and oversight committees of the board of directors, "D & O liability insurance", and federal securities, tax, and bankruptcy and reorganization provisions.
