This highly popular text helps students to bridge the gap between simply memorizing or blindly accepting information and the greater challenge of critical analysis and synthesis. It teaches them to respond to alternative points of view and develop a solid foundation for making personal choices about what to accept and what to reject. While the structure of this new edition remains the same, for the sake of currency and relevance about two-thirds of the practice passages are new, as well as many of the longer illustrations and the final critical thinking case. Also, this eighth edition has been revised to emphasize the positive value of critical thinking as a means to autonomy, curiousity, reasonableness, openness, and better decisions.

Taking a dynamic, and very contemporary approach to the legal environment of business studies, this book covers introductory topics, private law, and public law, but offers an alternative to the traditional method of case analysis. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating a questioning dimension into legal reasoning, one, which involves critical thinking and the consideration of the impact of values (ethics) on the outcome being considered. The book outlines an authoritative step-by-step model for critical thinking/ethical analysis, and gives learners hands-on opportunities to develop these skills. A three-part organization relates the legal environment of business to a general introduction to the law, and then explores both private and public law. For individuals trying to understand the law as it relates to the business world.
