Introduction

Issues covered in Corporations ( LAW 692 ) include "the following aspects of the modern business corporation: formation; financing; state and federal regulations respecting the issuance of securities and insider trading; governance of the corporation; powers and duties of directors and officers; rights and remedies of shareholders and creditors; dividends and other distributions; and corporate law suits and derivative actions. It also assesses the public policy and social responsibility implications of large scale business enterprise."  (While there are many aspects of securities law that may be pertinent, this particular guide has a more corporate law focus and includes only a few securities law titles.)
