The text is greatly shortened from the larger book, focusing on the legal issues of particular interest only to engineering, architecture and construction management students.
Fewer reproductions of judicial decisions, which can be difficult for non-law students to read.
Fuller, yet simplified, explanations of legal concepts, such as negligence and strict products liability.
Virtually every chapter begins with a Scenario: a description of a hypothetical project. That Scenario is referred back to throughout the chapter to provide concrete illustrations of concepts discussed. The students are shown how abstract legal principles are applied in a specific, factual setting. The instructor may easily modify the Scenario to fit the teaching needs of the particular class.
