Law III
Business
Organizations
This course provides the student
with an introduction to relevant concepts in the selection of form
of business enterprise. General principles of agency are covered,
as well as those of partnership. The bulk of the course deals with
principles of corporate law, specifically, the formation of the
corporation; the rights and duties of the corporate actors (shareholders,
directors and officers); remedies available to aggrieved parties.
The course also introduces the students to some variations of corporate
form, such as closely-held corporations and the new limited liability
corporation. To a lesser extent, the student will be familiarized
with some of the more complex problems facing corporations, such
as securities regulation, takeovers, and corporate control problems.
Extensive treatment of these latter issues, however, is left for
the more advanced courses in corporate law.
