Q: How do you make sure students are being exposed to important, recent court decisions?  How do you integrate current topics like information technology and e-commerce law?

A: Cheeseman provides over 75 new cases in this edition that have been decided in the past three years, including ones covering IT and e-Commerce.

  • Extensive coverage of new, ground-breaking U.S. Supreme Court cases — over 75 new cases that have been decided in the last three years are included in the new edition.
    • Students see the vitality of business law by seeing cases they have heard about in the news covered in the book.
  • Extensive coverage of E-Commerce and Information Technology — dedicated chapters cover Intellectual Property and Internet Law, and Electronic Commerce and Information Technology Licensing.  Over 45 “Online Commerce & Internet Law” boxes focus on the legal issues businesses face as they either launch new Internet ventures or rise to the challenge of incorporating on-line technologies into their existing business models.

  • Streamlined coverage to make the textbook briefer, done by: 
    •  Removing "Entrepreneur and the Law " box
    •  Summarizing ALL cases (some were excerpted in previous editions)
