Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The most trusted name in law school outlines, Emanuel Law Outlines support your class preparation, provide reference for your outline creation, and supply a comprehensive breakdown of topic matter for your entire study process. Created by Steven Emanuel, these course outlines have been relied on by generations of law students. Each title includes both capsule and detailed versions of the critical issues and key topics you must know to master the course. Also included are exam questions with model answers, an alpha-list of cases, and a cross reference table of cases for all of the leading casebooks.




Rating: - Lot of Mistakes
I've already found two mistakes in the book, one of which describing the standard judged in duty of care, which is one of the fundamental things one learns in a Corporations course. I'm scared to find out how many mistakes there are in this book that students are writing down on exams.

Use at your own risk!!!

Rating: - excellent supplement
This supplement clearly describes all the major topics covered in a corporate law class. I found it especially helpful in distinguishing between duty of loyalty/conflict of interest issues and duty of care/business judgment rule situations. All the rules are clearly laid out and show the reader when the various tests should be applied. If you are overwhelmed by the large amount of information you're expected to master in a BA/corporations course, this supplement will help you organize that information ... Read More

Rating: - Really helpful
I thought that this was a clear as well as very comprehensive study guide that included everything I needed. I primarily used the study guide to clear up areas that confused me as well as to add in missing pieces to my outline based on class notes, and it was great for that. I generally don't find commercial outlines to be that helpful, but this was an exception.

Rating: - Outdated
I agree with a previous reviewer; this book is surprisingly outdated despite being published in 2005. As a specific example, pages 106-07 refer to Rule 14a-1(k) even though it was changed to Rule 14a-1(l). And it states that a newspaper advertisement is a proxy solicitation even though that was largely overruled by Rule 14a-1(l)(2)(iv)(A) in 1992. So be careful about relying on this book.

Rating: - Comprehensive, but unbelievably out of date.
This book simplifies corporations law and gives concrete examples and good summaries.

However, be aware that the book is in many places completely out of date and cites sections of statutes that were changed 12 years ago (even though this edition was published in 2002). You'll have to check constantly in your statutory supplement and in your case book to make sure that what you're reading is up-to-date.

It's hard to understand, really, how an author could fail to update sections of ... Read More
