Principles of Business Law
X410.1 (2 semester units in Business Administration)
People who want to be successful in business or real estate need to know how to deal with legal issues and when to refer questions to an attorney. This course is about how to identify the issues and know when you have a legal problem—and if so, what it is. California law is emphasized in a survey of the law and the jurisdiction of, and procedure under, our court system. The course also covers basic principles of the laws of contracts, agency, partnership, corporations, and limited liability companies, as well as employment and intellectual property.
