A Case of Value Add of Legal Services to Cross-Border Transactions, LAWYERS AS ECONOMIC DRIVERS: THE BUSINESS CASE FOR LEGAL SERVICES 33

Vanderplas Publishing

Law and responsibility are a major part of business operation, and yet in times of economic crisis there is the omnipresent sentiment that there are too many lawyers. Whereas one could respond that self-interest does not appreciate the light of day, it is perhaps more positive to point out the great opportunity for increased and trouble-free expansion of business opportunity that savvy and forward-thinking lawyers can bring to the table.

Contracts I; Contracts II

Self-published until copyrights assigned to publisher

I and two co-authors have written a comprehensive casebook currently in two parts (Contracts I and Contracts II) which after editing Summer 2018 of the second half will be combined into a Florida Contract Law book. Covers all important contracts topics for MBE as well as Florida purposes, but using the vehicle of all Florida cases rather than the other way around - better to learn Florida law while pointing out the national ("MBE") differences. Laws around the country, taking into account majority and minority rules and trends, is 80-90% the same in any event. Why not develop an understanding of the essence of Florida contract law and practice? We are currently tweaking the second half (Contracts II) and finalizing a teacher's manual - all Contracts I aspects are already finalized. Weekly review outlines with blanks should assist students to self-assess on weekly basis on how well they know what they need to know. Copyrights application already filed for the two parts, and will be on the combined version. There is now a three volume version that ‘addenda’ two of the 26 Chapters. This would facilitate 3, 8-week terms. There are myriad study aids to supplement. Go to www.mylegs.org for helpful material. Florida Bar Takers! The materials may be of use, esp the Informative Slides.
