LAW 6051
Advanced Legal Research in Business Law

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Business issues, particularly those relating to corporations, are a given in most areas of practice. This course will introduce students to online resources providing company information and will enable them to evaluate the information in order to determine whether the resource is the most appropriate for their research. Students will learn how to find what the company says about itself (required filings, annual statements, web pages, press releases), what third parties have to say (analysts, ratings services, directories, news and journal articles), insider information, and the regulatory background of company information. Classes are lectures in concert with outside assignments. There are assigned readings in lieu of a required textbook. Students complete three assignments, and a due diligence report on a company of the student's choice. There is no final exam.


Prerequisites LAW 5081.
