LAW-627 : Agency

“Agency, Partnerships, and Other Unincorporated Business Organizations”, a fundamental and foundational course in the study of Corporate and Business Law, depends heavily on enacted state statutes and adopted uniform or model statutes. Accordingly, state statutory law and common law rulings govern this study. In this course, you will learn agency law, the indispensable substantive law on which all businesses, regardless of how they are organized and structured, depend. Once we’ve have understood this foundational legal framework, we will carry that understanding through the study of Partnership Law and Limited Liability Companies. Although corporate entities, joint ventures, trusts, s-corporations, and c-corporations will make appearance throughout the drama of the substantive materials, we will devote our focused learning to agency law, partnerships, and LLCs, fiduciary duties and the Business Judgment Rule (“BJR”).
