PLEASE NOTE: If you are new to college and completed one or more credit courses successfully at CCBC in the fall 2009 semester, you are ENCOURAGED but NOT REQUIRED to take ACDV 101 in the spring 2010 semester.
Transfer Pattern Description:
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a four-year degree with a major in law or various business programs. Beyond the general education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
This program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). The attainment of this accreditation certifies that the teaching and learning processes within the Business Studies Department meet the rigorous educational standards established by the ACBSP.
Students who successfully complete the requirements for a Business Law A.A. Degree will be able to:
-
Demonstrate mastery of the basic methods of dispute resolution that are utilized by businesses, including mediation, arbitration and litigation, by analyzing court opinions utilizing the methods;
-
Demonstrate mastery of the requirements for all of the phases of litigation, including pleadings, discovery, trial, appeal and enforcement of judgment, by preparing a report on a current court proceeding;
-
Demonstrate knowledge of legal terminology necessary to be able to communicate with business lawyers through in-class discussion and tests;
-
Demonstrate mastery of the requirements for a valid contract by analyzing cases involving breach of contract;
-
Demonstrate mastery of agency law and the rights, duties and liabilities of principals and agents through analysis of court cases;
-
Demonstrate mastery of the law of bailments and the rights and duties of bailors and bailees through analysis of court cases; and
-
Demonstrate an understanding through analysis of court opinions and distinguishing cases that the law is not absolute and each case outcome depends upon the facts and circumstances of the specific case, and that the law evolves with sociological changes in a culturally diverse world.
