This course offers the students the opportunity to learn the importance of risks through the lens of business risks and legal risks. A basic understanding of the law of torts and contracts will assist students to recognize legal risks and develop legal strategies to address these legal risks. A basic understanding of the categories of business risks facing organizations will assist students to assess these risks in each area and develop business strategies to address these legal risks.
The course methodology uses teams of 2-3 to learn the course together. Teams will learn to write short business briefs and short legal briefs which they shall use to conduct live debates on business and legal issues in class and be judged by your colleagues.
The course is meant to develop critical thinking and communications skills in a fun atmosphere that encourages debate. In fact, the course could even be called "The Debaters!"
I look forward to presenting the course to you.
Dr. Blair Baldwin, Visiting Professor, Okanagan School of Business, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
