Advanced Business Seminar

This seminar will explore current topics in business law including corporate governance reforms, corporate and securities fraud, and criminalization of corporate law and international norms governing corporate conduct. We will examine the legal issues behind the headlines and the role of attorneys in advising clients on these matters.

During the second half of the semester students will write papers which can, if the student desires, satisfy either the “A” or “B” writing requirement. The seminar will culminate with an all day Class Forum at which students will present their papers and comment upon the work of others. All students must commit to attend and participate in the Class Forum scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 (the first day of Spring reading period).
