The fourth in a twelve-title series, A Crash Course for Entrepreneurs, Business Law Basics coaches prospective and new entrepreneurs on the legal aspects of running a business. Many novice entrepreneurs have little more than a brilliant idea and a pocketful of ambition. They often don't know much about business law. This book tells them exactly what they must know, in simple terms, using real-world examples. In a two-hour read, it walks readers through the essentials of business law, and gives seasoned advice in a reader-friendly way. Learn about key legal terms, what an attorney can and can't do (and why you need one), legal aspects of setting up a business, partnership options, types of corporate structures, real estate and virtual bases for a business, license and regulation essentials, employment issues, intellectual property protection, contracts, legal aspects of buying and selling things and businesses, common mistakes to avoid, and international business issues. These serial entrepreneurs will save you time and prevent legal trouble as you launch and run your new company.

The contributions of Understanding the Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law: Courts, Statutes, Contracts, and Legal Scholarship show the wealth of sources which historians of commercial law use to approach their subject. Depending on the subject, historical research on mercantile law must be ready to open up to different approaches and sources in a truly imaginative and interdisciplinary way. This, more than many other branches of law, has always been largely non-state law. Normative, 'official', sources are important in commercial law as well, but other sources are often needed to complement them. The articles of the volume present an excellent assemblage of those sources. Anja Amend-Traut, Albrecht Cordes, Serge Dauchy, Dave De ruysscher, Olivier Descamps, Ricardo Galliano Court, Eberhard Isenmann, Mia Korpiola, Peter Oestmann, Heikki Pihlajam ki, Edouard Richard, Margrit Schulte Beerb hl, Guido Rossi, Bram Van Hofstraeten, Boudewijn Sirks, Alain Wijffels, and Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz.

Join Michael LaMonica, author of French Revolutions For Beginners, as he takes you on a journey through the ins and outs of an amendment that means so much more than just freedom of speech. First Amendment For Beginners will explore some of the biggest cases ever to come before the Supreme Court and answer questions such as whether it really is okay to shout "fire" in a crowded theater, wear a T-shirt that reads "F**K THE DRAFT!" (without the asterisks) into a courthouse, burn the flag, burn your draft card, join the Communist party, sell nudie magazines, ban Ku Klux Klan marches, and publish confidential government secrets in a newspaper, to name just a few. The religion clauses are included too, with pertinent questions such as whether the First Amendment protects your right to use psychoactive drugs in religious rituals, marry multiple partners, or engage in animal sacrifice. The book also wades into the political maelstrom to examine recent controversies such as whether money really equals speech and if corporations have constitutionally protected rights to speech and religion. Whether you're a court watcher, political junkie, history buff, civil libertarian, news enthusiast, or just curious about the most important amendment in the Constitution, this book is for you!
