Business Law

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Teacher: Mr. C. Alex

Phone: 751-9341

Business Law and Personal Law are particularly well-matched themes for an introductory law course. Both subjects are based upon the same legal concepts. As students become familiar with these underlying concepts, they will better understand the importance of the law in general, become familiar with relevant specific laws, and explore the applications of law both in business situations and in more familiar personal transactions.

Students completing this course will gain academic knowledge and skills in the following areas:

v Understanding substantive business and personal law

v Understanding legal procedures and the range of legal remedies

v Understanding the sources and methods of legal research

v Using precise legal language

v Analyzing and Applying principles to legal situations.

v Formulating and argument based on facts and principles

v Expressing facts, principles, and arguments in writing.

Students will have insight into the legal system, the dynamic nature of the law, the rights and duties of citizens, consumers, workers, and business owners.
