"RECENT CASES INVOLVING LLCS"
Here is a report out of Baylor University (yes, it's almost 10 years old) that has nearly 100 pages of court decisions regarding various aspects of LLC law. Remember that LLC law varies by state, but after endless discussions of "to LLC or not," or "piercing the corporate veil," it seems like a primary source would be helpful here.
