Q: How many chapters do you typically cover in a 1 semester course on Business Law?

OTHER KEY POINTS OF DIFFERENTIATION

 

Business Decisions

Chapter opening vignettes present a business scenario/challenge which ties into the key concepts of that chapter. It challenges the student to think about what they would do in that situation. 

 

Online Commerce & Internet Law

Focus on the legal issues businesses face as they either launch new Internet ventures or rise to the challenge of incorporating on-line technologies into their existing business models.

 

Business Ethics

“Business Ethics” boxes use issues from real companies to highlight the importance of ethics in making business decisions.

 

International Law

International Law boxes provide students the opportunity to draw comparisons between the American system of justice and various other systems abroad.

 

Contemporary Environment

“Contemporary Environment” boxes recognize that not all of the modern challenges facing businesses are Internet-related. These boxes explore other types of legal issues currently confronting businesses.

 

Landmark Cases
