International Law
In a global world, students clamor for more international law and many schools require
coverage of international issues in every course. The international law chapter has been
completely rewritten to provide students with an understanding of the basic structure and
impact of international law. It includes a discussion of: (1) how international law is created,
(2) major treaties and other sources of international law, (3) the world’s different legal
systems, (4) the application of U.S. law overseas, and (5) the enforceability of foreign laws
and treaties in the United States.
A Focus on Students
We have increased coverage of topics that are of particular interest to students, such as social
media and technology. Also, the bankruptcy chapter includes a new section on student
loans. The Crime chapter explores the application of constitutional standards of privacy
to new technology such as DNA tests, digital cameras, social media, cellphones, and
computers. The consumer law chapter looks at the legal issues raised when students spend
money through direct debit, ATM cards, and prepaid debit cards.

different activities: Worksheets that test basic knowledge of the chapter; Brief Hypotheti-
cals that require students to apply what they have learned; Video Activities that reinforce
course concepts; and Case Problem Blueprints that require critical thinking skills. As an
assurance to you, we (the authors) have reviewed every question in the MindTap product to
ensure that it meets the high standards of our book.
When students are assigned (and required) to complete the MindTap Worksheet ques-
tions prior to class, they will be prepared for class discussions and you will know the topics
with which they struggle. Recent research indicates that students who are pretested in this
way learn the material more fully and perform better on final exams.
MindTap guides students through their course with ease and engagement. Instructors
can personalize the prebuilt Learning Path by customizing Cengage Learning resources and
adding their own content via apps that integrate into the MindTap framework seamlessly
with Learning Management Systems.
We recognize that the online experience is as important to the students—and you—as
the book itself. Each and every item in the Learning Path is assignable and gradable. This
gives instructors the knowledge of class standings and concepts that may be difficult.
Additionally, students gain knowledge about where they stand—both individually and
compared to the highest performers in class.

PREFACE xxi
Every chapter begins with a story, either fictional or real, to illustrate the issues in the
chapter. Over the years, we have learned how much more successfully we can teach when
our students are intrigued. They only learn when they want to learn.
Context. Many of our students were not yet born when Bill Clinton was elected
president. They come to college with varying levels of preparation; many arrive from other
countries. We have found that to teach business law most effectively we must provide its
context. In the chapter on employment discrimination, we provide an historical perspective
to help students understand how the laws developed. In the chapter on securities laws, we
discuss the impact of the Depression on the major statutes. Only with this background do
students grasp the importance and impact of our laws.

taivuta heidät, koska he eivät enää ole kristityttä eivätkä halua auttaa
kreiviä hänen hädässään, päästämään minut vihdoinkin rukoilemaan
tuon miesraukan puolesta, joka luultavasti on suuresti Jumalan avun
tarpeessa.»
Kaukaa voi hän jo kuulla, miten niitä nyt ajettiin takaisin talleihin,
mutta hän ei halunnut kysyä, montako niistä tuli ja savu olivat
tappaneet. Kaiken tuon sai hän kyllä tietää tarpeeksi pian — jo
huomenna. Tänään ei hän luullut kaipaavansa enää muuta kuin
lepoa. Hän totesi, että useimmat talonpojat olivat poislähdössä
palatakseen jälleen Arokszállakseen. Tuo taivaanrannalta näkyvä
ruusunpunainen juova alkoi levetä ja kirkastua, ja savunkin läpi voi
hän nähdä, miten tähdet himmenivät auringonnousun lähestyessä.
Isä Ambrosius sanoi hänelle monta lohduttavaa sanaa, ja jokainen
talonpoika nosti kunnioittavasti lakkiaan mennessään vararikkoon
joutuneen kreivin sivu.

PÄÄSIÄISAAMU.
»Mistä?»
»Mutta sitä kai et voine kieltää», sanoi vanha Berczi, »että juuri
tuona tulipaloyönä muuttui András tuollaiseksi omituiseksi ja
vakavaksi»?
»Pauhu oli hirmuinen viime yönä. Eilen kävin aivan kreivin talleilla
asti ja minusta näytti, että koko Bideskuty on veden vallassa».
Jokaisen asunnon ovesta tuli nyt tielle kauniita tyttöjä, jotka olivat
pukeutuneet koko sunnuntaikoreuteensa. Leveät silitetyt pellavahihat
kiilsivät ja kansallisväriset, punaiset, valkoiset ja viheriät nauhat
liehuivat tuulessa. Kaunis huntu, joka oli sidottu niskaan suurella
nauharuusulla, täydensi kuningatarmaisen pienen pään kauneutta.
Tukka oli kammattu sileäksi ja letitetty kahdeksi paksuksi palmikoksi,
pusero oli edestä kauniisti koruompeluin kirjailtu ja hoikan vartalon
ympärille oli napitettu ahtaat liivit. Lukemattomat hameet heiluivat
iloisesti tyttöjen kävellessä omituisesti lanteitaan heiluttaen, suuret
kultaiset korvarenkaat, useat helminauhat ja liivien kirkkaat soljet
loistivat auringossa yhtä kirkkaasti kuin kauniit silmät ja lumivalkoiset
hampaat. Vanhemmilla naisilla oli hieman tummemmat puvut ja
pitemmät hunnut, kirkkaanväriset huivit peittivät heidän hartioitaan ja
kaikilla oli käsissään suurilla joko messinki- tahi hopeahakasilla
varustetut raskaat rukouskirjat.
»Hän tuli kyllä tänne viime vuonna, mutta en tiedä, tuleeko hän
tänään», sanoi eräs nuori Bideskuty’n paimen. »Kun sivuutin
päärakennuksen, odottivat vaunut ja hevoset portaitten edustalla,
joten on varma, että kreivitär ja nuori neiti saapuvat».
»Auta minut ylös, Rezsö, äläkä puhu tyhmyyksiä. Olen varma, että
jalo
Ilonka on aivan alttarilla olevan pyhän neitsyen näköinen».
