本書作者Rober W. Hamilton是德州州立大學奧斯丁分校的法學教授,在公司法領域頗有建樹。我們可以較一下他另外兩本書,其中一本叫Cases And Materials On Corporaions Including Parthership And Limited Parner-ships,另一本書是與人合著,叫Business Basics For Law Student Essential Terms And Con-cepts。在這三本書中,作者寫作的特點都是深能淺,深入淺出,用簡潔的語言和方式告訴您那些復雜卻又是最基本的東西。
在美國法律教育界與律師實務界,"美國法精要"是頗具特色的一套書,其特點是簡捷明快、深入淺出。美國法學院的學生將其作為課外教材,由此掌握美國各主要部門法的精義;執業律師也經常借助這套書,以迅速了解某些部門法的相關情況。我國的讀者通過閱讀原汁原味的英文來學習美國法律,可有效提高法律英語水平,促進與美國同行的對話與交流。
