Course Description
Gives students experience in researching a variety of business law topics focusing on primary, secondary, and transactional materials. Provides an in-depth look at primary and secondary tax law resources and how to find them using a variety of print and electronic sources.
Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate law students will not be doing any extra work beyond
that required of the Juris Doctor students. J.D. students are
post-baccalaureate students and the workload expected of them
is the same workload expected of post-baccalaureate graduate
students. Law students are professional students, not
undergraduate students. Graduate law students are primarily
international lawyers seeking expertise in the American legal
system. This expertise is gained through exposure to Juris
Doctor courses.
