This course examines four general areas of law. Background of law, crimes vs. torts, consumer law, and contract law will be discussed. An emphasis will be placed on terminology and case law. Students will be presented with cases both in the text and on handouts and asked to formulate possible rulings. Students will also be involved in five mini case projects and be asked to do a case briefing. This class will hopefully allow students to be better equipped than most citizens to recognize legal problems and to utilize professional counsel.
