LAW 632: Business Law Clinic
This course affords law students the opportunity to represent clients in a business setting, and would assist start-up businesses that do not have the resources to hire attorneys. The clinic provides law students interested in business and transactional practice with a course of study that educates them about the role of the lawyer and exposes them to the practical legal and business realities of start-up and early stage businesses. Students advise clients on transactional matters only—including choice of entity, registration and leases. Through collaboration with the Owen School’s entrepreneurship clinic, clients receive both legal assistance from law students in the clinic as well as business advice from Owen students. Issues include: advice on choice of entity, entity formation, preparation of basic business documents (e.g., services might include trademark registration, review of commercial contracts and other appropriate matters). Pre-requisite: Corporations or Corporations and Business Entities. Pass/Fail. Enrollment limited. [3]
LAW 632A: Business Law Clinic – Advanced
A second semester course is available. Maximum of five Clinic credits. Pass/Fail. Faculty approval required. [2]
