Book excerpt: The need for an understanding of accounting is now even more critical than ever for lawyers practicing in many areas including securities and corporate law and litigation. In addition, over the last several years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has made some landmark changes in the accounting rules in areas of interest to lawyers, including the accounting for mergers and acquisitions. The Second Edition of Accounting and Finance For Lawyers includes important material on such areas as accounting for stock options and derivatives and the elimination of the pooling of interests method of accounting for acquisitions. There is a discussion of the accounting implications of the use of so-called special purpose entities. Finally, a chapter on international accounting issues reflects the increasing globalization of business and accounting. As in the First Edition, the basic building blocks of accounting are covered so that the material is accessible and useful to those with any level of accounting knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finance for Lawyers covers financial calculations which lawyers commonly use: present and future values, annuities, and sinking funds. The book, extensive glossary, calculators and available slides are designed for students new to finance, though more experienced students will also find them useful. They relate calculations to many legal areas with practical problems involving torts, family law, loan amortization, retirement planning and much more. The book and materials also have in-depth coverage of the APR, usury laws, choosing the appropriate interest/discount rate, and the use of life-expectancy tables. The pedagogical approach is problem-oriented, with many practical, real-life exercises illustrating things such as: Computing the present value of lost wages in a wrongful death case. Valuing lottery winnings or a structured settlement. Amortizing a student loan or home loan. Saving for retirement or for a child's education. Computing the lump-sum alimony amount equivalent to periodic payments. Each Lesson (Chapter) has detailed examples/problems (with answers) plus additional interactive practice problems (with available answers) and assignment questions and self-grading quizzes (with answers available to faculty).
