Business Organizations

Business Organizations is essentially the study of Agency Law, as it applies to the rights and obligations of the various artificial entities recognized under state law. In this class, we address employer vicarious liability for the acts of its employees, factors impacting the selection of a particular entity to match owner needs, the nature and scope of fiduciary responsibilities, the business judgment rule, corporate governance issues, and the environment that allows for "piercing the corporate veil", among other topics.
