BUS447 Business Law I Who should take it? This course (required of all students majoring in programs in the School of Management, as a core course) is open to any student with an interest in learning about the application of business law in their daily lives. No previous business courses need be taken but students must have completed at least Freshman English (ENG103) and be in their Junior or Senior year. This course should be of particular interest to those considering law school after graduation and to those who may be considering establishing their own business some day. What does it cover? The course covers 4 broad business law areas: Contracts Agency Government Regulations including Protection of Intellectual Property, Antitrust Law, Consumer Protection Law and the ADA. Property These subjects are of particular interest because what you learn in this course is applicable to, and useful in, every day life. Legal terminology is an important part of the course since words in a legal context have very precise meaning which may be very different from the common meaning of words. Words which are different in a legal sense that quickly come to mind are 'material' and 'consideration'. In order to assist the students in learning legal terminology, I have developed a comprehensive program which will serve as a tutor. You can learn words at your own pace. Legal terminology counts as 30% of each of the tests given in the course. Before you can participate in the Discussion Forum, you must have a Domino WWW email account and password.
