?This book has an ending full of promise: ?We will?end here, with the hope that readers now have a good grasp of corporate law as an essential element of corporate governance. For those wanting to know more, an extensive and often engaging literature awaits.? Incidentally, that is exactly the message I want any student that does my ?The law of Corporate Governance? course at ANU to take away ? that it was a good introduction and that there is a lot more exciting stuff out there. After reading the book, I can say that if anyone was looking to use this book in a course like mine, it would work well. I teach in Australia and it would work well here if I used it in conjunction with local material, and I think it can similarly work well in most jurisdictions.?
