Business Law

Chapter 33

 

From this chapter:

I doubt this comment will be news to anybody, but in the past decade or so, Americans in all walks of life have become increasingly affected by the law. Contributing factors include the extensive development and growth of federal and state legislation as well as rules and regulations that have far-reaching impact on everyday life. According to the editors of West's Encyclopedia of American Law, there has been a dramatic increase in administrative proceedings and litigation to interpret and enforce such measures. Over the years the public has made repeated demands for an effective and timely system of justice. As a result, Americans need a readily available research source to consult to gain greater knowledge and understanding of the principles, institutions, and people that through the law provide stability and structure to daily life. West's Encyclopedia of American Law (WEAL) presents in one reference set a panorama of the American legal system, which while comprehensive in scope is specific in its explanations of legal topics. This unique multi-volume work brings together diverse features and accurate text written in plain English that transcends the traditional format of legal encyclopedias and other secondary sources (translated that means it's more fun to read). WEAL provides current information on 5,000 legal topics in 12 volumes.
