Everyday Law – 0637 Half Year – 1/2 Credit Grades 9 – 12

Prerequisite: None

Have you ever thought your rights were being violated by your boss? Not sure if you are being scammed by cybercriminal? Have you ever read a warranty and realized it protects the company you bought the product from more than it protects you? If so, this is the class for you! Everyday Law provides an overview of common legal issues/questions. Students will learn about legal implications in everyday transactions such as buying products, using warranties, getting a job, cyber law and e-commerce, borrowing items from your neighbors, losing your luggage on a flight and finding a lost wallet. In addition, we will spend time on ethical issues and on developing some critical thinking skills along with conducting research on actual court cases that impact our everyday lives.
