BUSINESS LAW
3 College Credit Class (STAC). The course explores the U.S. legal system and dispute resolution, and their impact on business. The major content areas will include general principles of law, the relationship of business and the U.S. Constitution, state and federal legal systems, the relationship between law and ethics, contracts, sales, torts, agency law, intellectual property, and business law in the global context. The formulation, interpretation, and application of law to business as well as the study of ethical issues that arise in contemporary business settings, including professional conduct and corporate social responsibility are examined. Topics covered include legal regulation to which businesses are subject, including tort liability, contract law, partnership and corporate law, employment and labor law, intellectual property law, environmental regulation and sustainability, and financial regulation. Emphasis is placed on active, experiential application of legal reasoning and analysis and on the global and comparative dimensions of legal and ethical issues. Our Legal System, including the court system, criminal law & civil law will be explored as a preface to Business Law.
This course is designed to provide an understanding of the basic principles of law which affect the student, consumer, worker and citizen. Minors’ rights, employment law, contracts, business ownership, civil wrongs and crimes, functions of court and court procedures represent a few of the topics covered. Guest speakers, mock trials, field trips and computer-based research via the Internet are incorporated in an effort to keep the subject current and vital in today's ever-changing legal environment. This course can be used as the 5th credit in a social studies sequence.
