The course is designed as a basic introduction to the nature, formation, and application of the law in general, with a stress upon a situation approach. Principles of law will be examined with an emphasis upon their application to the social and practical aspects of business and management. Because of the large class size, the course will be basically a lecture format, designed as an expansion upon assigned materials. Class participation will be encouraged. Reading materials outside the basic text may be assigned in class.
Students are responsible for all lecture materials and assigned reading materials, including cases.
