    1 out of 5 stars egregious security violation.......2007-06-25

    This product requires administrator privilege in order to get program updates from the website while running Windows Vista. This is outrageous. As administrator they can disable your privacy and security protocols (while looking at your financial data). This is shocking and lazy behavior for Nolo. They should have designed the program updates to work with network security prompts, same as every other responsible software company. I suggest anyone using this product unplug themselves from the internet while working with it and uninstall it when done. Very disappointing.

    5 out of 5 stars It does what it needs to do........2007-06-15

    If you take the time to read the information and follow the instructions carefully, this will do exactly what it's supposed to do. Great document generator.

    5 out of 5 stars Willmaker Plus 2007 Very Impressive.......2007-05-21

    I am very impressed with this product. The 500-page book alone provides a massive, detailed, practical, easy-to-read, and extremely helpful guide to the world of estate-planning legal documents. Just reading the book was an awesome self-education experience for me. Then, by firing up the software, I am walked step-by-step through the process of creating a will (or any number of additional legal documents) in a very easy, logical manner. For the person who desires to create a will, or any of the other legal documents covered, I highly recommend this product. It stands head and shoulders above any other product I have seen.

    5 out of 5 stars Simplicity at it's finest!.......2007-05-17

    Since the more comprehensive reviewers here have already covered the features of Willmaker Plus 2007, I will only add a little opinion and a heep of praise to Quicken, for teaming up with Nolo in making this incredibly easy to use yet powerful program.

    I must admit that I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I was able to create a simple Will without even opening the book because of the very easy to use step by step format. Legal jargon is explained brilliantly in laymans terms. This program is truly idiot proof!

    Wills, Powers of Attorney for health care & finances along with other legal documents are the most important yet often neglected documents a person must deal with in life. Becoming incapacitated or dying without these documents in place can leave your loved ones with a real legal nightmare.

    Completing my Will & Powers of Attorney and putting all of my important papers like deeds, titles, financial statements and insurance policies, in one place (known to loved ones) has given me tremendous peace of mind in knowing that my loved ones will have a much easier time resolving all of the legal matters if I become incapacitated or when I die.

    5 out of 5 stars Great product, just go to the notary, or have friends!.......2007-05-13

    I have created a Will and a living will with this handy program. The book that comes with it is quite extensive, but the instructions are also viewed with each page you create. It guides you through the process and is really easy. The only problem is, when you are done with the document, you actually need to take action, and have someone witness your signature, and you need to have some documents notarized. It is a process you must do, or some of the documents you create are useless. Don't be lazy like me, get it done, and forget about it! In addition to wills and estate planning, it also has common legal documents, like things for pet sitters, credit history requests, and authorizations for temporary guardianships for minors. It is quite the package!

    Book Description

    Bennett-Alexander and Hartman’s, Employment Law for Business, 4/e, addresses law and employment decisions from a managerial perspective. It is intended to instruct students on how to manage effectively and efficiently with full comprehension of the legal ramifications of their decisions. Students are shown how to think and analyze employment law facts using concrete examples of management-related legal dilemmas without clear-cut solutions. The methods of arriving at resolutions are emphasized, so that when the facts of the workplace problem are not quite the same, the student can still reach a good decision based on the legal considerations required by law, which remain relevant.

    1 out of 5 stars One-sided approach to regulation.......2004-08-04

    I would have preferred a text that merely reported employers' compliance obligations in an objective manner, rather than portraying employers as the enemy. I generally found the text to be highly politicized and, to some extent, anti-management. This book does little to bridge the gap between the business community and academia.

    4 out of 5 stars Employment Law for business.......2004-01-07

    As an attorney, manager, and teacher of human resources professionals, I recommend this book. I found that thie information was thoroughly researched. I also appreciated that the legal information was presented in a business context so that managers who are not lawyers could understand the information and readily appy it to real life workplace problems.

    2 out of 5 stars Useful Book........2003-06-22

    This is an interesting,informative and useful book. I used it for school and it will be one book that I keep. Great case studies.

    2 out of 5 stars Employment Law.......2003-02-17

    I think the book is so liberal and it advocate large government. Freedom is not through following the forced laws like affirmative action, ADA, etc. but having a choice especially in employment. Employer should have the say on what they want and who they want to work and not work. The book pretty much tells you that this is the law and its good for you ,so follow or else.
    That is socialistic.
    We are giving more power to the government to tie us down with more laws and regulation. Their responsibility is to protect the citizens and not to do business. That's for the private sector.

    5 out of 5 stars Good book for in the class and in the office.......2003-02-15

    This book gives a good comprehensive look at the mountain of law and regulations encountering employees in both the public and private sector. The examples in the beginning of each chapter are very useful as well as the actual cases used to exemplify how the law has been applied to real-world situations.

    Book Description

    Law, Business, and Society, 8/e, by Tony McAdams, takes an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing elements of law, political economy, international business, ethics, social responsibility and management. The author produces a compelling holistic picture of these concepts by giving extensive attention to readings, provocative quotes and factual details. Students learn not merely the law but the law in context.

    1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy.......2006-03-25

    The book has no color at all, everything is in black and white; also the case files found in the book are briefed and are poor reflections from the orginal public documents. I had to buy this book for a college class, it was cheaper here than in the school book store but I feel the book is only worth $20.

    4 out of 5 stars Review of Law, Business, and Society.......2000-05-15

    McAdams, et. al. provide an interesting mix of economics, law, business, and ethics in this textbook aimed at upper level undergraduates. This interdiscplinary approach is especially appropriate for business courses which should examine these issues from multiple perspectives. My only reservation is that perhaps too much emphasis is placed on the legal dimension within the text.

      Pozgar's book is organized by legal topic and cites relevant case law in all instances. It is an excellent overview of American law as it applies to the health care practitioner or organization. He has taken a topic that it difficult to communicate and made it very enjoyable reading. Students will find it much easier reading than most graduate level texts.

Our instructor is a lawyer and runs risk management at our university hospital. The text further explained basic legal priciples and related them to health care. The text is easy to read and gives several references to actual documents.

        Book Description

        This text is a briefer paperback version of the widely-adopted Miller/Jentz BUSINESS LAW TODAY: THE STANDARD EDITION. THE ESSENTIALS offers the very same traits that have made that book so successful edition after edition ? fundamentally that it provides the legal credibility and authoritativeness of a traditional business law book, while also offering the visual appeal and student friendly features students are used to seeing in books for many of their other courses. Though the text is ?fun? for students to read, it does not accomplish this at the expense of important information ? it goes into the necessary detail to completely explain law topics. The book truly offers an instructor the best of both worlds ? a credible business law source, which students will be motivated to read. Its magic and the cornerstone of its widespread success is in this ability to appeal to both instructors and students without being mutually exclusive. It also offers the most comprehensive teaching and learning support package on the market, with something to fit many different instructional or learning styles ? a reflection of West Legal Studies in Business?s ongoing commitment to partnership, leadership, and innovation in providing the highest quality materials available for Business Law instructors and students. This text explicitly meets the AACSB curriculum requirements.

        3 out of 5 stars A digest of rules too broad for serious instructional use........2000-01-02

        The 5th Edition of "Business Law Today, The Essentials" is a slightly pared down, paper-bound version of the authors' hard back college text "Business Law Today, - Text and Summarized Cases, Legal, Ethical, Regulatory and International Environment."

        SUMMARY. The book fills the bill as a "Readers Digest" reference work on general legal principles. But, it is too broad in its treatment to be a reliable resource for comprehensive instructional purposes.

        BASIS. This reviewer is an attorney with over 25 years experience teaching business law. The writer uses the 5th edition of this work, and used the 2d, 3d and 4th editions of the text, as a required instructional resource in accordance with directions from academic administrators.

        POSITIVE ASPECTS.

        - The 5th edition of "Business Law Today, The Essentials" is well written and very readable. The presentation is visually attractive.

        - It includes new material on the up-to-date issues created by e-commerce and cyber law.

        - There are excellent chapter summaries highlighting, in outline form, the major topics covered in the chapter.

        - There are numerous marginal references to Web sites and sources for additional help and information.

        CONCERNS.

        - Content appears to have been sacrificed for aesthetic white space & wide margins. This has been a continuing trend. With each "new edition" there has been less and less textual material. Major legal concepts are given a short treatment of only a sentence or two. However, the interesting and provocative discussion questions at the end of the chapters raise issues which, if they have been addressed by the courts, cannot be correctly resolved based on the information in the text. The result is students have a misconception as to how a principle works or how the majority of courts might rule. When missing information is added by the instructor, student reaction is frustration and distrust of the text.

        -Whole concepts have been deleted from text between editions.(Although, thankfully, the topic of usury, a major concept in business law which was totally deleted from the 4th edition, is again mentioned in the 5th edition.)

        - Case examples too often tend to focus on the more colorful, unusual exception to a controlling legal principle, rather than explaining the rationale for the majority rule or demonstrating how a principle works in daily business situations. The result is often student confusion, since one does not learn a general principle where the only example of the its application is an exceptional situation where the general rule is not apply.

        - Support materials and test bank answers to questions are unreliable. While the answers given in the test bank are legally correct, about 10-15% of the time it is reported the correct answer to a test bank question cannot be extracted from the textual explanation on the cited page in "The Essentials" edition of the text.

        4 out of 5 stars Good book for uneducated teachers with regards to law.......2001-03-21

        With all the horror stories we hear about teachers being fired and sued over decesions they made about punishment and what to teach and how to teach, this book is a gold mine. It provides information on just about any topic a teach may encounter. Not only does it have great information, it is also written with few "legal trade" words.

        Product Description

        When David Ball on Damages was first published in 2001, it changed the way attorneys seek damages. The book provides step-by-step guidance for attorneys seeking money for their clients. Ball explains why jurors give, why they do not, and how to motivate them to do the former instead of the latter. He walks readers through voir dire, opening, testimony, and closing, providing practical, effective, and innovative methods for pursuing damages. Now, in this expanded, second edition, Ball includes methods to contend with the way today’s jurors view lawyers and their clients. The techniques provide tools to counter sophisticated opposition tactics, the public mood, and laws and rules that continue to grow more hostile.

        5 out of 5 stars Med Mal Attry's Evaluation.......2007-06-11

        This is one of the finest books written on the subject of obtaining fair and complete damages at trial in an atmosphere of "tort reform"

        5 out of 5 stars David Ball on Damages: The Essential Update.......2007-05-07

        Quite frankly, it is malpractice to try a jury case without first reading this book. A MUST for any trial attorney for civil litigation. Ball plainly lays out the basics of jury selection and then expounds on the critical points to successfully arguing damages to a jury.

        5 out of 5 stars essential reading for every trial attorney.......2006-11-03

        Full of practical advice developed through years of jury consulting. A must read for any attorney interested in monetizing pain and suffering.

        5 out of 5 stars Absolutely required reading for trial lawyers.......2006-03-25

        If you are a trial lawyer and don't have this book yet, you are missing out. David Ball is incredibly gifted in conveying his message as briefly and directly as possible. The first edition of Damages changed the way I prepared and handled cases. The second edition is even better. Highly suggested reading.

        5 out of 5 stars A must read.......2005-07-24

        I have waited months in anticipation of David Ball's new book on damages.His first edition revolutionized how cases should be tried. It was a must read for all attorneys in my office. His updated book has surpassed all of my expectaions. This edition has new chapters, more trial tips and even greater insight.
        This is a book every trial attorney should have on his/her desk and in one's trial bag.
