In particular, students will learn how law functions in the American society and how it relates to American business, how American managers handle legal matters in their daily work and how to spot legal issues affecting business operations and transactions and seek professional advice from in-house and outside attorneys. At the end of the course, students should be able to apply learned legal principles of common and statutory law to various factual situations and to analyze them from the perspective of a business manager seeking advice of a business lawyer. Prospective students should note that this course covers relatively complex, technical and voluminous material which is to be absorbed in the period of less than eight weeks and requires well-developed analytical, critical and writing skills as well as good studying discipline and organization. New Hampshire College requires all students to adhere to high standards of integrity in their academic work. Activities such as plagiarism and cheating are not acceptable and will not be condoned by the college.
Students involved in such activities are subject to serious disciplinary action.

The intensive nature of this course would probably require a much greater participation effort than the minimum stated above, and the key to the learning process in this course is to utilize the interactive discussion board feature pro-actively, regularly and wisely, asking questions, commenting on what you learned and seeking clarification on something you do not fully understand. Failure to attend during the first week will result in an automatic drop. Extended absences, defined as failure to log into the Blackboard session for more than five days, must be coordinated with the instructor and be based on an extraordinary justification. If a student has any disability issues that they feel need to be addressed in order for a safe and fruitful educational experience to take place, please contact the instructor.
