Extraordinary authorship adds a unique real-world perspective to Commentaries and Cases on the Law of Business Organization; William T. Allen is former Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery. Logical and flexible organization allows for chapters to be taught in any order to accommodate alternative teaching approaches. Chapters One through Four cover the fundamentals of organizational law in a business setting. Chapters Five through Thirteen address the legal regulation of a variety of actions, decisions, and transactions that involve or concern the modern public corporation. Introductions and transitional text, clearly and concisely written, provide context and perspective. Rich commentary in the form of explanatory notes facilitates teaching and understanding. Careful case selection and editing presents both classic and important recent cases. An economic-analysis perspective is made accessible through clear and consistent explanatory text. Examples, hypos, and diagrams illustrate conceptual and theoretical models. The text can easily be used in a Business Organization course with a focus on corporate law.
 The Fourth Edition is completely updated throughout. It now includes excerpts from important recent cases such as Air Products v. Airgas and In re CNX Gas and provides commentary on current developments, such as "Say on Pay" proxy access, and the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. A new chapter on executive compensation appears. The Fourth Edition provides additional contextual background for certain cases to help students better understand the court's reasoning. The text continues to provide additional questions, connections to the empirical literature, and cross-country comparisons.
