9780495411215: Legal Aspects of Architecture, Engineering and the Construction Process

Synopsis

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 that has been cited in over twenty-five court decisions.

Review

The value of Legal Aspects to the practicing construction lawyer is as a general single volume textbook that offers astute observations and analyses of construction issues by two respected co-authors. The value of Legal Aspects to the law professor is as a teaching text having practical as well as academic significance. This is a book that the construction law libraries of law firms and universities should include.
