LAW 7167 :
Intro to Bus and Econ Analysis

Restrictions: First Year Elective - Registrar's Office sends information about 1L elective registration in October. Spring semester registration for 1L electives begins in November. This 1L elective will allow students interested in business law to begin its exploration ahead of taking the traditional core business law courses in their 2L year. The course is intended for those students without an accounting or finance background in order to put those students on an even footing when they enter the business law curriculum the following year. The first half of the course will be devoted to introductory finance topics including accounting, valuation and capital markets. The second half of the course will introduce students to the economic analysis of the law, one of the dominant modes of thinking about legal rules and practice. It will supplement their understanding of many 1L courses (Torts, Contracts, Property, Civil Procedure) and provide students with analytical tools that can be used later in law school in courses as disp arate as Administrative Law, Business Organizations and even Family Law. Exam Info: Exam administered during exam period.
