Instructor's Manual
This supplement has four dimensions. The first aspect of the Instructor Manual presents an overview of the chapter, addressing the major points covered in the chapter. Then a comprehensive outline of the chapter is presented. The outline is drawn from the chapter, with special attention paid to particularly important definitions and concepts. A case synopsis for each featured case in the chapter is an integral part of the outline. Third, sample answers to chapter questions and problems are included. Each chapter of the text has ten questions, usually one matching question followed by nine essay problems. The Instructor Manual presents answers to the matching question (which normally consists of ten terms and ten definitions). In addition, short answers to the essay problems – along with a citation to the section or sections in the chapter where the subject of the problem is addressed – provide the instructor with a sense of how to frame the essay problem. Finally, the Instructor Manual includes a list of additional resources the instructor might find helpful in reviewing the materials covered in the chapter. These resources include either hardbound books or digital material from the Internet.Supplemental Case Studies

Description
WELCOME TO BUSINESS LAW, FIFTH EDITION
We believe this edition of the text is worthy of the trust you have placed in us to clearly deliver contemporary aspects of business law and the legal environment of business in a comprehensive, dynamic manner appropriate for a variety of learning styles.
The reader should note at the outset that Business Law was created, not only to present traditional principles of legal studies as it relates to business, but also to delve into new arenas pertaining to the interaction of law and business appropriate for business leaders of the twenty-first century. Some legal topics covered in the text have changed little in decades - and some topics have changed little over centuries. Other topics are new to business law and are evolving at a quick pace in order to meet the changing needs of society. We strive to accurately present important legal principles that have weathered successful use in the business environment for many years while also stating popular precepts of law that are forming as yet unsettled areas of jurisprudence. This combination of age-old principles and cutting-edge developments is a characteristic of our legal system that makes its study exciting.
The text has a distinguished and long history, with the first edition being published twenty years ago by two faculty from the University of Georgia, Professors Peter Shedd and Robert Corley. The current author, Professor James F. Morgan, was brought on board to contribute to the second edition, using the firm foundation provided by Shedd and Corley. Each successive edition has embraced the original goal of creating a textbook of the highest quality in terms of scholarship and readability. We believe that the Business Law, fifth edition continues that tradition.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
Business Law, fifth edition contains five major enhancements:
- A new characteristic - termed "Touchstone" - is used liberally throughout the book. A Touchstone could be based on a newspaper article, law review article, legislation, or other item. Each chapter includes three Touchstones. This unique characteristic of the fifth edition is presented to provide the reader with additional examples of situations where the law is being applied or to engage the reader with an aspect of the law that is controversial. It is hoped that the Touchstones offered will serve as starting places for in-class or Internet-based discussions of important legal points included in each chapter.
- Basic aspects of legal reasoning are presented for the first time in this edition. Anytime a student undertakes the study of law, he/she will be exposed implicitly to the legal reasoning process; however, in Business Law, fifth edition we undertake to explicitly explain the legal reasoning process. Chapter 2 contains numerous sections devoted to exploring this fascinating subject.
- The area of ethics and social responsibility is now the major focus of an entire chapter (Chapter 2). Aspects of philosophy and jurisprudence are presented as part of this fascinating subject area.
- Intellectual property, previously covered as part of a chapter on the law of property, has now morphed into a separate chapter (Chapter 12), with considerable attention paid to cyber law and Internet-related aspects of intellectual property law.
- Global aspects of the legal environment of business are emphasized to a much greater degree than in the previous edition. For example, all three chapters within the law of sales (Chapters 21, 22, and 23) contain materials specifically focused on global aspects of the law of sales.
As with previous editions, Business Law, fifth edition details major activities of government which impact business, particularly judicial decisions, legislative pronouncements, and agency actions. This edition includes many new principal cases. Often these new cases are ones that have just been decided, so students have the opportunity to see the current state of the law. Sometimes, however, we employ older cases that articulate particularly well a rule of law and the rationale supporting the decision of a judge or justice. Recently-passed legislation is also explored in this edition. For example, the Affordable Care Act is presented in Chapter 26. Finally, cutting-edge administrative agency developments are covered, including the impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Chapter 43).
