Summary:

The primary focus of this text is to provide a bridge for students
between the academic world and the real world. This bridge is built
through an understanding of what is law, how law is created, how law
affects almost every activity of human conduct, and how legal
institutions operate. Intended mainly for architectural and
engineering students, but increasingly for those in business schools
and law schools, this text features a clear, concise, and jargon-free
presentation. It probes beneath the surface of legal rules and
uncovers why these rules developed as they did, outlines arguments
for and against these rules, and examines how they work in practice.
Updated with the most recent developments in the legal aspects of
architectural, engineering, and the construction processes, this text
is also a valuable reference for practitioners and has been cited in
over twenty-five court decisions.
