The Intermediate Business Law course builds on the foundation established in Introduction to Business Law, providing a deeper exploration of legal principles that shape business operations and decision-making. Using Business Law and the Regulation of Business, 14th Edition by Richard A. Mann and Barry S. Roberts, this course covers negotiable instruments, agency relationships, partnerships, corporations, debtor-creditor law, and property rights.
Students will also examine key regulatory frameworks including securities law, intellectual property, employment law, antitrust, consumer protection, and environmental regulation. Real-world case studies highlight how these legal principles influence modern businesses, from corporate finance to international operations. By analyzing complex legal scenarios, students will learn to evaluate risks, ensure compliance, and make sound business judgments.
Designed for students pursuing careers in business, management, entrepreneurship, finance, or accounting, this course equips learners with an intermediate-level understanding of the legal environment of business. By the end, students will be able to apply laws governing business associations and transactions, assess liability and stakeholder responsibilities, and interpret regulatory requirements that impact organizations in both domestic and global contexts.
