Book Description
This text provides the legal credibility, authoritativeness, and comprehensiveness of a traditional business law book, while also offering the visual appeal and student friendly features students are used to seeing in books for many of their other courses. Though the text is ?fun? for students to read, it does not accomplish this at the expense of important information ? it goes into the necessary detail to completely explain law topics. The book truly offers an instructor the best of both worlds ? a credible business law source, which students will be motivated to read. Its magic and the cornerstone of its widespread success is in this ability to appeal to both instructors and students without being mutually exclusive. It also offers the most comprehensive teaching and learning support package on the market, with something to fit many different instructional or learning styles ? a reflection of West Legal Studies in Business?s continual commitment to partnership, leadership, and innovation in providing the highest quality materials available for Business Law instructors and students. This text explicitly meets the AACSB curriculum requirements.

A Straight Forward Text Book .......2007-05-27
It's a textbook. That being said, it is filled with extra material, like case examples, a CD-ROM, etc. I didn't look at any of that because my business law class went at such a slow pace we only looked at about 10 of the chapters. If you are buying this for a class, you should come away with a lot of good information from this book without feeling it is too much of a boring chore to read through.
Great buy .......2006-04-05
Very fast delivery, thanks I was in a hurry and you have made me very happy.
Excellent text for the Instructor; for the Student.......2004-11-01
This is an excellent text at various levels of interest, desire, talent and time. The text is arranged that given the time, the Instructor can dig deeper and deeper into thorny topics. Additionally, curious students can rely on numerous web sources for enhanced views and greater depth.
Further, there are additional sources for the Instructor available through test banks and outlines. This is my favorite text to teach from. It is neither dry with enough cases to stir the imagination of the younger students nor MTV'd and contains sufficient current cases to give older students and retired students pause to consider. 5 stars. Larry Scantlebury
Not Only For Students.......2004-02-08
I am using this textbook in several of my classes, and let me just say- it has everything I could have hoped for. The chapters are laid out well, many cases are cited, and the student is given actual cases to figure out, with the citations given at the end so he can find the actual outcome. I've found this to be among the best textbooks. It is so good, in fact that I've reccomended it to several of my friends who are going into business for themselves. This covers nearly everything they'll need to know regarding contracts, secured transactions, warranties, etc.
Love the law!
Business Law Today by Jentz et al........2004-02-03
This is an excellent text. It incorporates the law, as well as
legal research methodologies. For instance, a standard chapter
contains an outline, common law sources,constitutional,
statutory and administrative laws/rule-making. The work cites
computerized legal research in WESTLAW and LEXIS. Relevant
international legal citations are listed. The applicable
United States Code is cited by Title and specific paragraph.
In some cases, individual state legal codes are cited. There
are exhaustic sets of historical and statutory notes, cross
references and federal practice notes. Each chapter has a
comprehensive case study with a brief synopsis, cited case
and final disposition. There are teaching suggestions at the
end of the instructor's manual together with discussion
questions, research assignments and an explanation of footnotes.
In addition, there is an exhaustive section on essay question
answers.
Here is a model answer:
Stare decisis is a doctrine that prescribes following earlier
judicial decisions in deciding a current case if the facts and
questions are similar. Courts attempt to be consistent with their
own prior decisions and with the decisions of courts superior
to them. Stare decisis is important because part of the function
of law is to maintain stability. If the application of the law
was unpredictable, there would be no consistent rules to follow
and no stability.
The volume has detailed coverage of the following areas:
o Business Ethics o Int'l Business Law
o Employee Rights o Employment law
o Occupational safety o Accounting and the law
o Securities o Mergers and acquisitions
o Insurance o Real Estate
o Financial institutions o Unfair competition
o Advertising o Environmental law
o Health Care o Sports and entertainment
o Hospitality management o Communications
o Government contracts o Legal representation of business
There are significant software support systems; namely,
o Legal Clerk Research Software System
o Computerized Instructor's Manual
o Computerized Questions/Answers
o Case problems on diskette
o CD
o Lecture Builder Software
o Westest
o A Classroom Management System
o WESTrain
o Transparency Masters
o Sample Moot Court and much much more
This text is an excellent purchase for collegiate law students.
Book Description
This legal environment text offers balanced coverage of private law and public law. To illustrate the legal points covered, the authors have integrated cases in the language of the court into each chapter. Strong ethical coverage helps students understand the need for responsible decisions.
Customer Reviews:
excellent service.......2005-09-28
It was good service. The book was intact and delivered in time. Excellent job.
Long and drawn out.......2000-02-01
The text is comprehensive but it consistently takes too long to get to the point. Furthermore, many application sections are scattered throughout the book and seem to be poorly placed (would be better off placing them in a separate section.)
Book Description
Well-known for its comprehensive and authoritative coverage, this text offers readers great flexibility in choosing which areas of the law to emphasize. Cases are summarized by the authors to facilitate reader comprehension.

Business Law 10 Edition .......2007-09-28
I like it a lot but it needs to put into simple word for a person like me who don't known any thing about law could understand it better. over all its a very good book. A lot of good information.

West's Business Law, tenth edition.......2007-09-06
The book came in a sealed cover. Although it looks brand new, it does say it is "used". You would never know it. It came in a timely manner and when I followed up w/the seller to see when it shipped, they sent me back an e-mail within a few hours. I would highly recommend using Off Campus Athens again.
Great Book To Keep.......2007-07-17
I have been through a few bad and good text books throughout my college career, but this had to be one of the best I ever picked up. It is easy to search through and actually makes the topics interesting to read.
Great reference book too.......2007-05-09
The book had great case studies but the best part were the on line review tests. I got 100 on the final!!
Excellent service and quality.......2007-03-19
Great! Product shipping status was easy to track, great communication via email regarding status of product. Product came much quicker than expected and was exactly as I expected! Thanks!
Book Description
This book is specifically designed as a business oriented legal environment text. The basic philosophy behind the book allows for a look and feel of texts students are more familiar with (social science books) as opposed to an overly legal looking text.
Customer Reviews:
Satisfied.......2007-01-12
The item arrived much faster than I had expected; however it wasn't quite as new as I thought it would be. The book is still in excellent condition & the price was just right.
Book Description
Based on the best-selling West's Business Law, this text maintains its most popular features and continues to offer flexibility for different teaching philosophies. While focusing on public law issues such as ethics, government regulation, and administrative law, it also provides a good balance of private law topics such as contracts and sales. Selected cases begin with either a "Historical and Social Setting" or a "Company Profile" and address the AACSB's curriculum requirements by focusing on global, political, ethical, social, environmental, technological, and cultural diversity issues.
Customer Reviews:
Somewhat dry reading.......2006-02-25
This book has some interesting case studies, but it somewhat dry reading. I bought it for an MBA class, and it seems more suited to undergraduate study because there is not a lot of direct application for professionals.
Wests Legal Enviornment Of Business.......2004-08-20
I bought the RIGHT edition and then sent me the WRONG ONE!!
Overpriced garbage!.......2002-01-31
This review is pertaining to the 7th edition, hardcover book. This book is printed in very small print, all in one color (blue), on very thin (cheap) paper. How the publisher justifies the ridiculous price is beyond me!
If you need to buy this book for academic purposes, then at least try to find a cheaper used copy--It's not worth the money!
West's Legal Environment of Business : Text Cases Ethical, R.......2000-05-28

Customer Reviews:
FAST SHIPPING!!!.......2007-09-10
My textbook was in a great condition and when they said fast shipping, they meant FAST SHIPPING! I recommend this seller to everyone because they are excellent in providing the best service that I have ever encounter on the website. Thanks!!!
Quite Comprehensive.......2006-03-17
This text offers great details, but I did not rate it as 5 stars because (1) when searching for content, it is difficult to see the key words in the text and (2) the case studies are well selected, but since they are inserted throughout the chapter, it is challenging to determine where the case ends and the author's content begins.
Overall, I would recommend the Jennings text and will keep a copy on my shelf.
Good enough.......2005-09-12
The book was damaged but it looks like its the post office job because the envelope used to cover the book was damaged as well. Besides that, the transaction was good
15 days to tell us they didn't have the book........2004-11-16
I ordered the book from them on Nov1. On Nov 15 I called and they told me they didn't have it. The money was returned by Amazon.
Overall, I recommend it........2001-09-04
This book was assigned to one of my MBA classes. The book itself was a good source of reference not only for my business law class but also to other two classes. The book's language is simple and easy to understand. The only flaw I found about this this book was that some cases were complex and I had to refer to actual law books and regulations. Overall, I recommend this book.
