Corporations 1
Course Description:
Covers basic law of business corporations. Explores aspects of the law of agency and the law of partnerships as they relate to the development of corporate legal controls. Topics include distribution of control within the corporation; fiduciary duties of directors and officers; key aspects of the federal securities laws (including the regulation of insider trading and proxies); organic changes (such as mergers); shifts in control (such as takeovers and freeze-outs); and legal implications of the roles of corporations in society. Addresses these issues in the context of various types of corporate enterprises (e.g., closely held corporations, corporate producer-cooperatives, and publicly held corporations).
