Like the prior edition, this edition of Legal Aspects of Corporate Finance continues to be practice-oriented, containing the actual text of various corporate finance documents, such as debentures, indentures, preferred stock terms, convertible security provisions, and acquisition agreements.
This comprehensive textbook covers predictive and persuasive writing and legal research, and is written in an informal style intended to appeal to today's law students.
This book provides a comprehensive descriptive and prescriptive treatment of legal counseling, interviewing, and negotiation (including mediation and plea-bargaining).
This text provides real-world case files designed to reinforce foundational legal reasoning skills. Students work through practical problems, each of which is set in the context of a different basic law school subject.
Legal Reasoning, Writing and Other Lawyering Skills (formerly known as Legal Reasoning, Writing, and Persuasive Argument) draws on lessons from neuroscience and psychology to deepen students understanding of self and others, and of the emotional biases and filters that undermine their efforts to "think like a lawyer".
Recognizing the importance of legal research and the challenges it presents (especially for novices), this book undertakes to give law students and attorneys in North Carolina, as well as other jurisdictions, a set of research tools to add to their toolboxes.
Readers of this textbook will learn to think deductively and analogically, to distill the holdings of multiple cases into a coherent legal rule, and to craft a compelling narrative, among other skills. All the nuts and bolts of effective lawyering are here.
