Appropriate for students who have already taken an introductory Legal Environment or Business Law course, the text is organized to permit instructors to tailor the materials to their particular approach. The authors take special care to engage students by relating law to everyday events with which they are already familiar with their clear, concise and readable style. Advanced Business Law and the Legal Environment provides students with context and essential legal concepts relating to the Uniform Commercial Code and various aspects of property law. The text provides the vocabulary and legal savvy necessary for business people to talk in an educated way to their customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders — and to their own lawyers.</content> </entry> <entry> <id>273</id> <published>2018-09-07T17:21:52Z</published> <updated>2024-08-26T13:02:55Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/business-law-and-the-legal-environment"/> <title>Business Law and the Legal Environment</title> <content type="html"><img alt="Read more about Business Law and the Legal Environment" title="Business Law and the Legal Environment cover image" class="cover " width="557" height="749" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjIzLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--9baaafe6fd15c3fb9029dcbf810982052016fcdd/0000BusLawLeg.png" />Our goal is to provide students with a textbook that is up to date and comprehensive in its coverage of legal and regulatory issues—and organized to permit instructors to tailor the materials to their particular approach. This book engages students by relating law to everyday events with which they are already familiar (or with which they are familiarizing themselves in other business courses) and by its clear, concise, and readable style. (An earlier business law text by authors Lieberman and Siedel was hailed “the best written text in a very crowded field.”) This textbook provides context and essential concepts across the entire range of legal issues with which managers and business executives must grapple. The text provides the vocabulary and legal acumen necessary for businesspeople to talk in an educated way to their customers, employees, suppliers, government officials—and to their own lawyers.</content> </entry> <entry> <id>789</id> <published>2019-10-27T03:08:33Z</published> <updated>2024-04-05T18:57:52Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/business-law-i-essentials"/> <title>Business Law I Essentials</title> <content type="html"><img alt="Read more about Business Law I Essentials" title="Business Law I Essentials cover image" class="cover " width="571" height="739" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NzQ2LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--24147339ab2df9981a16a66d2d21fb1c04601f51/978-1-947172-78-4.jpg" />Business Law I Essentials is a brief introductory textbook designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of courses on Business Law or the Legal Environment of Business. The concepts are presented in a streamlined manner, and cover the key concepts necessary to establish a strong foundation in the subject. The textbook follows a traditional approach to the study of business law. Each chapter contains learning objectives, explanatory narrative and concepts, references for further reading, and end-of-chapter questions. Business Law I Essentials may need to be supplemented with additional content, cases, or related materials, and is offered as a foundational resource that focuses on the baseline concepts, issues, and approaches.</content> </entry> <entry> <id>770</id> <published>2019-09-08T15:38:53Z</published> <updated>2024-01-22T14:52:37Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/extended-readings-on-copyright"/> <title>Extended Readings on Copyright - 2022</title> <content type="html"><img alt="Read more about Extended Readings on Copyright - 2022" title="Extended Readings on Copyright - 2022 cover image" class="cover " width="1583" height="2048" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDM4NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--494f3c69b478e512bcefe58bde51ee9fe677d49c/Pw64AZuA.png" />Extended Readings on Copyright is subject to a non-commercial Create Commons license that allows you to add, subtract, and amend as you see fit, provided you extend those terms to any derivative work based on these materials and provided your provide appropriate attribution.

It focuses on the three graphmain forms of US federal intellectual property—trademark, copyright and patent—but many of the ideas discussed here apply far beyond those legal areas and far beyond the law of the United States. The book is intended to be a textbook for the basic Intellectual Property class, but because it is an open coursebook, which can be freely edited and customized, it is also suitable for an undergraduate class, or for a business, library studies, communications or other graduate school class. Each chapter contains cases and secondary readings and a set of problems or role-playing exercises involving the material. The problems range from a video of the Napster oral argument to counseling clients about search engines and trademarks, applying the First Amendment to digital rights management and copyright or commenting on the Supreme Court&#39;s rulings on gene patents.</content> </entry> <entry> <id>278</id> <published>2018-09-07T17:21:52Z</published> <updated>2024-01-22T18:50:05Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/introduction-to-the-law-of-property-estate-planning-and-insurance"/> <title>Introduction to the Law of Property, Estate Planning and Insurance</title> <content type="html"><img alt="Read more about Introduction to the Law of Property, Estate Planning and Insurance" title="textbook cover placeholder image" class="cover fallback " width="247" height="326" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" src="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" />Introduction to the Law of Property, Estate Planning and Insurance is an up-to-date textbook that covers legal issues that students must understand relating to real estate (an especially important business asset), as well as estate planning and insurance.

Sometimes narrowly focused, often intensely local, land use regulation may give the impression of a highly specialized field with small stakes. The text is divided into three parts: First, we will survey the ordinary, local administrative scheme of land use regulation. The cases in this section are intended to establish what that system is and what it&#39;s standards are. In the second part of the course, we will turn our attention to cases illustrating litigation attacks on the ordinary administrative scheme. The purpose here is not, as it was in the first part, to understand better the standards the administrators should apply, but to understand the constraints imposed on the contents of local laws, the procedures of enactment and permitting, and the composition of local lawmaking bodies. In the third part, we focus on the distributive concerns raised by land use regulation. The regulatory takings doctrine has gone from, literally, nothing, to wrestling to disentangle distributive concerns from substantive ones, to trying to craft either rules or standards to identify regulations that go “too far” and should be considered “takings” within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment. We will consider what the doctrine&#39;s purposes are, how it should be governed, and how it should be invoked as a procedural matter.</content> </entry> <entry> <id>279</id> <published>2018-09-07T17:21:52Z</published> <updated>2024-01-22T18:50:05Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/law-for-entrepreneurs"/> <title>Law for Entrepreneurs</title> <content type="html"><img alt="Read more about Law for Entrepreneurs" title="textbook cover placeholder image" class="cover fallback " width="247" height="326" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" src="/assets/common/placeholder-f8e123f91b7e13ad321132c609842fdd40121f691ee7db391b88763bc42be6a0.webp" />Law for Entrepreneurs is an up-to-date textbook that covers the broad spectrum of legal issues that entrepreneurs must understand when starting and running a business.
