An extraordinary insight into law firm marketing process
In a realm of law firm marketing literature that so often fails to understand the unique qualities of the legal profession and how lawyers relate to their markets, this book goes more deeply and intelligently into the mindset of corporations and how they purchase legal services. Where most marketing books go into the mechanics of the marketing process and miss the point about the subtleties of the process, Smith goes to the core of the process with a kind of sophistication rarely seen in law firm marketing literature. This book is essential to every law firm that wants to understand its markets and how people buy their services. ... Read more

From a Former Student: This is the Model of all Casebooks.
In what generally can be categorized as unreadable, dense, unorganized and without clear themes, Professor Burton's textbook for law students is a clear aberration.Professor Burton presents contract law in a clearoutline fashion, divided into different and inciteful principles.Caseswithin each principle clearly present individual "trees" and inthe end, the reader comes out with a very clear and workable picture of the"forest."Professor Burton does not "hide the ball" inthe form of ongoing, mindless and unreadable "Notes andQuestions." negative
I have studied contract law for 35 years and have never read such a pieceof absolute garbage.Burton obviously spent little time writing this one. ... Read more

Biased against science.
This is not a law text nor a history of science text but a sociology text. Her language shows a bias against scientific analysis, and in favor of sociologists (her profession): peer review is said to give an "impartial facade"; scientific experts are said to have a "technocratic bias." Two other scholars are said to have "complete disregard for findings in contemporary... sociology." Science in general is said to have too high a reputation for credibility: "science generally functions in an atmosphere of credulousness..." Undoing Junk Science
This really excellent book should be required reading for every lawyer who expects to handle expert evidence. Sheila Jasanoff's scholarly and reflective analysis will tell you far more about the law's construction ofscience than any of Peter Huber's musings (or, if you will, rantings) onthe subject.Read more

I like this book b/c it is easy to read and useful!
as one of the students of D Skeel's basic corporation's class, this book is one of our reading assignments.Generally speaking, I hate reading assignment but I do like this book.
Three Growing Risks and How to Address Them
America loves risk-taking CEOs, but when such behavior crosses over to boardrooms it could have massive consequences because of the growing scale of businesses and society's greater dependence on equity markets. Icarus in the Boardroom: The Fundamental Flaws in Corporate America and Where They Came From, by David Skeel draws on Greek mythology to present a candid warning aimed at corporate directors and anyone concerned with our economic future.
Minor Masterpiece
This book is a minor masterpiece of legal/business history.In slightly more than 200 pages, David Skeel tells the story of American CEOs who tried to boost profits and share prices by taking huge gambles with corporate assets.Although the media and public idolize larger-than-life CEOs, Skeel shows how throwing the dice can often result in ruin for corporations and their employees and shareholders.His book ranges from 19th century railroad bankruptcies to the rise and fall of Enron, tying together economic history, financial theory, business law, and the politics of regulation.It's sophisticated but breezily written.I'd give it six stars if I could. ...

Great Start
This is an excellent beginner's law book. This is also helpful for accountants preparing to take their CPA exam. This book has side references on questions and parts that have been used on the CPA exam. I highly recommend keeping this book as a basic easy to read and follow reference tool for legal issues concerning corporate entities.
