Business Law

Catalog description

This course focuses on understanding the legal environment of business. We first examine the framework of law which consists of the multiple sources of law, which are then bifurcated into either criminal or civil law. Business is subject to regulation by many governmental agencies, such as The Environmental Protection Agency, which has the force of both civil and criminal law. We will learn about these areas of the law, as well as employment law, product liability and securities law, set against societal demands of the corporation to operate in a socially responsible or ethical manner.
