LAW 359 - E-Commerce Law

Electronic commerce has swept the nation and continues to increase in size and importance. This three credit course will focus the effect of information technology on commercial transactions by considering current and emerging legal issues. The course will use Ronald J. Mann’s Electronic Commerce (4th edition) as the class text with class sessions also using the problem discussion method. Although the course will have a final examination, it will also include drafting exercises, and students will frequently be asked to assume the role of a transactional attorney during class discussion. Attendance, class participation, and the completion of problems will account for 20% of the final grade. The final contract review exercise will account for an additional 20% of the grade. The final examination will comprise the remaining 60% of the course grade.
