In preparing this Edition, Professor Eisenberg is reworking all of the material to be carried over from the Seventh Edition & adding many new principal cases & text notes. All the carried-over principal cases have been reviewed and, where appropriate, re-edited with the objective of tightening the cases to the maximum extent consistent with preserving a full-bodied presentation of the facts & the discussion. Professor Eisenberg is paying particular attention to preparing the Concise Edition for short courses. Among the important new features of the Eighth Edition is a separate chapter on LLCs. Some of the new principal cases in the Eighth Edition are Quickturn Design Systems, Inc. v. Shapiro, Malone v. Brincat, Teamsters v. Fleming Cos., General Datacomm Industries, Inc. v.
