Just Published: A Primer on Immigration Law and Compliance

Just published today by Textbook Media Press: A Primer on Immigration Law and Compliance. This is a short textbook (four chapters) intended as both a companion for all business law and legal environment textbooks (mine included) or as a stand-alone textbook for short credit and non-credit courses and training programs. It is also a useful reference work for anyone interested in a brief, detailed introduction to non-immigrant and immigrant visas, asylum and refugee status and compliance with I-9 employment authorization. An instructor's manual and test bank is available to adopters. Best of all is the price: $5.95 - $12.95 for ebook and paperback versions. Over the 18 months I intend to build on the introductory tome to make an expanded edition (about 15 chapters) suitable for a three-credit undergraduate or graduate course in BBA, MS and MBA programs. My Business Law: An Introduction 3/e and will be out in the first quarter of 2019 which along with Business Law and the Legal Environment of Business 3/e round out my current law-related textbooks. If this book finds a market, a similar short companion textbook on intellectual property will likely follow.

New textbook coming in January 2020: Business Law 3/e

The final proofs for my newest textbook, Business Law 3/e, were approved by me this week. I just received a PDF copy of the front cover (subject to change before publication). This is the third edition of my very first textbook. The first edition was originally published by Irwin/Mirror Press and later by McGraw-Hill when they acquired Irwin and its subsidiaries. As such, it is special to me. This major revision and update took about a year to complete and includes a new chapter on immigration law. As is true of all of my textbooks, it is very different from the competition in tone, style and pedagogy and reflects my student-centered style as a lecturer. That is also reflected in its pricing which is a small fraction of that of its competitors. This book rounds out my current offerings with Textbook Media Press that also include Business Law and the Legal Environment of Business 3/e that provides more comprehensive coverage (45 chapters) making it ideal for both one- and two-semester Business Law and Legal Environment courses and Immigration Law and Compliance, a mini-textbook primarily intended as an inexpensive ($5.95-$12.95) companion to all business law and legal studies textbooks, including mine. I LOVE my job!
