Emanuel Crunchtime: Corporations

This book, like all Emanuel's outlines, has been instrumental in understanding the material. Clear and concise. Would definitely purchase again!

Got me my product in a timely manner, and the product was exactly what I wanted.

Good reference. This guide's usefulness will be dependent on how your professor approaches the class. My professor was not concerned with the rules and emphasized more the general concerns. This book references the Nutshell--The Law of Corporations (which is more general). I found the Emanuel and the Nutshell to be both useful in preparing for exams. Since my professor approached corporations in a more general format, the Emanuel's attempt to place the concepts in neat categories was a little too precise for me. Overall, worth the money. I do highly recommend the Nutshell also. It has a great definitions section and clearly presents the material in a general format.

I cannot imagine getting through my exam study for corporations without this guide. It gives a very clear explanation of the topics that were covered in class. It is very helpful to people only taking corporations because of the bar exam rather than a specific interest in practicing in this area. One caveat - unlike some other outlines, this text does not specifically brief any cases, so it is still essential to keep up with the text and attend class.

This gouge explains corporation formation in a format that is easy to understand. This is especially helpful to law students who have never had a business course prior to law school. I found the author's coverage of the duties of coporate officers and those of shareholders to be straightforward and easy to understand. Additionally, the coverage of current case law in the area of the Business Judgment Rule, along with exam tips and "test your knowledge" questions were extremely helpful. (class taken in 1998)
