    LGLS 189A: Business Law

    Instructor: Dan Breen
    Prerequisites: None
    Course Description: Everyone who enters commercial life needs to know something about law, because legal rules influence and structure almost everything a business person does, from negotiating deals to hiring new employees. In this class, we will discuss the most important rules and doctrines that together, make up the legal landscape of business. Among the topics we will address are Contracts--how they are made and how they are enforced--Employment Law, Bankruptcy, Secured Transactions and the laws that govern the buying and selling of stock. By the end of this class, it is hoped that students will know enough of the law to avoid needless and potential harmful mistakes in their professional careers, while at the same time knowing something of the opportunities law affords us to do business in an orderly, profitable and predictable way.
