With an easy-to-remember “issue-spotting” process, the book helps develop the average administrator’s “eye” for legal issues, so that the administrator knows when to do more research and when to seek out professional legal assistance.

It provides an overview of the American legal system, teaches a systematic process for identifying legal issues, trains administrators to read and understand contracts, gives practical advice for working with professional lawyers, and puts theory into practice with an applied learning component.

Packed with practical tips and advice, this book provides a primer that every arts administrator and every arts- and nonprofit-management student will find immediately useful.
