In virtually every area of legal practice, some knowledge about the laws governing business organizations (and particularly corporations)
proves helpful. This survey provides such an orientation, examining the laws governing the modern business organization (with an
emphasis on corporations). Topics range across rules of agency law, partnership law, corporate formation, corporate identity, fiduciary
duties, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions and securities fraud. At core, this is a survey course, so many of the topics we will
discuss also have specialized courses offering a more detailed treatment. Consequently, our key goal will be to understand the rudimentary structure of each topic, and how the topics interrelate. In particular this will include how corporate law regulates relationships among multiple different constituencies of the firm and the ways in which it interacts with other areas of the law.
