The document discusses the evolution of general partnership law, focusing on the shift from an aggregate approach to an entity approach, which has led to significant changes in personal liability for general partners. It highlights the introduction of limited liability protections for partners through legislative changes, particularly in Texas, and critiques the resulting unfairness that creates two classes of partners: those with limited liability protection and those without. The author proposes a solution to ensure all partners receive equal protection under the law, advocating for amendments to existing statutes to address these disparities.
