Hamilton (law, U. of Texas) and Booth (law, U. of Maryland) describe the fundamentals of business law and practice for law students with little or no business background. They discuss modern business forms, securities regulation and trading, income taxation, investments, insurance, and bankruptcy. Focusing on business and finance rather than legal concepts, this text is intended to be a supplement to standard law school texts. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
