Synopsis

In  the  Introductory  Law  unit,  students  were  exposed  to  basic
principles  of  legal liability.  In this unit  the  study  of  those
principles  is  extended and applied to specific situations  such  as
professional   liability   and  consumer   protection.    Also,   the
opportunity is taken to canvas general principles of civil  liability
not   previously  covered  including  equitable  remedies   and   the
examination of the management of liability through insurance.  In the
second  part of the course, critical aspects of financing  businesses
are dealt with through topics on property law, credit, securities and
bankruptcy.
