The first edition of How to Structure Your Business for Success was written for veteran entrepreneurs in the Dept. of Defense's Transition Assistance Program ("TAP") who were participating in the SBA's Boots to Business workshop, which, at the time of this writing, remains part of the TAP. The goal was to provide entrepreneurs with basic, accurate information about the various types and kinds of business organizations (or "structures"), as well as a brief overview of, and introduction to, intellectual property ("IP") legal concepts. This Third Edition of How to Structure Your Business for Success builds on, and significantly expands, the original work and the revised edition--both not formally published. This is the first edition that will have gone to print. While it is more than three times longer than the first edition, this Third Edition clocks in under 80 pages. It is designed to be read quickly, reread, and referenced often. The author often says to Boots to Business attendees: "This information is not designed to help you DIY your legal work, which you never should do! Rather, it's designed to prepare you for a conversation with your attorney." In writing this book, the author wants to give readers a baseline of knowledge about the differences between sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations; types of IP; and other start-up related legal matters. The purpose of this knowledge is to empower entrepreneurs and small business decision-makers, and make it less likely that an unscrupulous attorney may take advantage of their lack of sophistication. Packed with irreverent and candid observations, hard-earned insights obtained through years of legal practice, and recommendations for further reading, this is an excellent jumping off point for any entrepreneur hoping to educate themselves on the legal basics of entrepreneurship.

The book illustrates each section of UCC Article 5 (the letter of credit article) with historical analysis that explains each section’s purpose. It is folly to read Article 5 literally, and it is disastrous to see it as characterizing the letter of credit as a unique form of contract. The historical exegesis the book presents makes it clear that letters of credit are unique, idiosyncratic undertakings for which the Article fashions unique, idiosyncratic rules. There was, moreover, an abundant body of common law that preceded codification of letter of credit law in the Uniform Commercial Code. The book includes that rich common law history, setting it forth section by section. It enhances the common law explication with drafting history and with explanations by serious letter of credit commentators. Read more

Business, Defamation, and Privacy Torts by Richard A. Epstein and Catherine M. Sharkey organizes topics suitable for an advanced, upper division course (or seminar) on Torts.

There are certain breaches of duty for which pecuniary losses must be honored, lest the common law fail in its promise to prevent force and fraud. Just as we all enjoy the right to be free from the threat of physical harm, so too we have the right to receive protection for the ability to make new contracts free from threats of force and force, and to be assured that others will not seek to knowingly induce breach of our existing contracts. Additionally, we also deserve to have our reputation, and those of our goods and services, protected from harmful falsehoods. Also, privacy rights of two sorts also receive protection: first the right to keep personal information about ourselves private, and second to control the use of name and likeness in commercial and business ventures. The expansion of liability in these areas may at once be novel, dubious, and nonetheless potentially morally and socially desirable. Students must examine the full policy and doctrinal challenges of these debates. Setting selective limits on the recovery of pecuniary losses is how the common law has adapted to economic advancements since its early creation in England. From the Statute of Labourers of 1349 to the artificial intelligence controversies of today, students will be able to grapple with these legal adaptations to social change. Highlights of the First Edition: Setting forth the “economic loss rule(s)”—where the courts most directly grapple with the question whether and why pecuniary losses must be honored—to organize the study of business torts. Introducing a conceptual framework of “contractual privity” and “stranger” economic loss rules as a way to frame contemporary issues such as data breaches. Focusing on the pressures to expand common law fraud via statutory actions that dispense with such traditional elements as reliance and harm. Highlighting products liability in the modern digital era, assessing whether similar online retailers and distributors are treated as sellers for goods that other parties sell on their websites. Addressing the emergence of public nuisance as modern business tort, exploring its application in opioid and global warming cases.

Professors and students will benefit from: Inclusion of great older cases, both English and American, that have proved themselves time and again in the classroom, and which continue to exert great influence on the modern law. Preservation of both historical and conceptual continuity and transformation between the present and the.

Recently described as "the single most important lawmaker in the history of American finance," Carter Glass nonetheless remains a much misunderstood and overlooked figure in that history. Glass is most widely remembered as the sponsor (with Henry Steagall) of the Glass-Steagall provisions of the U.S.A. Banking Act of 1933, which legally separated commercial and investment banking. But the Banking Act was the culminating achievement of a monumental career as a congressman, secretary of the Treasury, and senator—a career marked by ferocity and paradox.Glass was a small-government conservative and vocal racist who was, however, also responsible for some of the most important progressive pieces of financial legislation in U.S. history, including the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which created mechanisms for addressing financial panics and managing the nation’s currency, and provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which created the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the model New Deal agency. In The Unlikely Reformer, Matthew Fink explains how these apparent contradictions emerged together at a pivotal moment in the modern American era. As the first new study dedicated to Carter Glass published in over seventy-five years, it updates our perspective on the welter of assumptions, beliefs, and motivations underpinning a regulatory project that continues to be topical in the tumultuous contemporary moment.
