Fashion Law, a niche legal practice that addresses the broad range of business law concerns facing the fashion industry, has only recently gained a more respected position within legal research, debate, and discourse. In 2010, Fordham University became the site for the launch of the Fashion Law Institute,1 which offers two master's degrees in fashion law, dozens of public programs, an LL.M, and the Fashion Law Pop-Up Clinic.2 The Fashion Law Institute is regarded as the epicenter of the still-growing fashion law movement3 that includes the Harvard Fashion Law Lab and the New York Law School Fashion Law Initiative.4</p><p>Fashion has been present in society for years;5 however, our perspective on fashion has changed.6 Technology has opened a global marketplace and allows consumers more avenues in which to admire and purchase items.7 Additionally, an increased interest and hyper-focus on celebrities and their fashion, as well as private lives, help to catapult the amount of advertisements for brands and styles.8 Finally, in the past decade, an increasing list of new designers has caused the industry as a whole to grow.9</p><p>The growth of fashion law practices,10 fashion law scholarship,11 and newsworthy fashion law events supports the argument that the fashion law industry is an interesting and relevant context for teaching legal studies topics. As noted by a stalwart in the Fashion Law field, “Corporate finance, employment law, supply chain regulation, sustainability, taxes and tariffs, advertising, consumer protection, and dress codes and civil rights—these and other legal issues are all integral parts of fashion law. . . . ”12 Therefore, the topic is suited for a case study that can address numerous topics covered in the business law course.</p><p>This article provides a class exercise based on the 2014 Fall Moschino “McDonald's” collection that combined fashion and fast food in a way that arguably evoked humor, shock, wonderment, and controversy. The Moschino collection presents legal and ethical considerations such as free speech, marginalization, intellectual property rights, and business ethics. The eighty-minute exercise is designed to prepare students for a variety of legal issues they will confront as business professionals. It can be introduced within an instructor's established business law curriculum to supplement the topics of intellectual property, free speech, and business ethics. Given the range of substantive law topics, there is flexibility to either assign the activity at the end of the course or introduce the factual background at the beginning of the course and reference it throughout the semester as the topics are introduced.</p><p>Part II of this article provides the factual background of the controversial 2014 Moschino collection. Part III analyzes the legal and ethical issues and describes the class ","PeriodicalId":42278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Legal Studies Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlse.12137","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72322151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Contemporary Business Law Courses: An Exploratory Study of Undergraduate Textbook Content and Pedagogical Planning","authors":"John C. Kuzenski","doi":"10.1111/jlse.12131","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jlse.12131","url":null,"abstract":"<p>What should be covered in a business law textbook for undergraduate business students? The question seems deceptively simple on first pass and yet, as it is further considered, a variety of additional questions give rise to considerations that have an impact on the answer. Some of those new questions are highly subjective and defy a simple quantitative approach to a satisfactory answer. For example, one possible answer is “whatever the major publishers believe should be included for marketability's sake,” since the top five publishers in the United States control an estimated 80% of the academic textbook market.1 Yet another answer is “everything that is relevant and can be made to fit,” and this “fitting” has become easier in the era of the online e-textbook, the term I will use in this work to refer to a variety of book forms that are produced and sold as digital copies with or without a paper-printed version. Solid cases have been made in both peer-review and journalistic literature for a litany of specialized approaches and topics, with most literature reflecting prerogatives and specializations of the author(s). All of these previous articles and essays make complete sense in the ideal course in an ideal world with unrestrained time, faculty expertise, student enthusiasm, and pedagogical horizons.</p><p>The quite un-ideal course in the real and un-ideal world, however, counsels caution about such an inclusive approach for a variety of reasons. Paramount among these reasons is the inconvenient fact that in American colleges and schools of business or management utilizing a traditional semester calendar, there are fifteen weeks (give or take and subject to institutional rules and peculiarities) in which an <i>entire</i> core course in business law—inclusive of its two popular monikers, “Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business” or simply “Legal Environment of Business”—must be taught from start to finish. In just over 87% of business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a single three-hour course in business law is all that is required of undergraduate students for graduation.2 Even then, although I will use “business law” for purposes of parsimony to include all varieties of approaches to the class, it is important to recognize changes in the discipline of business and management that have changed attitudes among faculty and deans over the past fifty-plus years that may <i>counsel</i> for more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Traditional “business law,” which was significantly more quasi-law-schoolish in its approach and in particular satisfied colleagues in accounting-related disciplines, was a boon for that purpose. As businesses changed over the years and business/management schools kept pace with those changes, an honest debate developed over whether a more public policy-oriented approach was more useful to students. This debate continues to simmer today.3</p><p>Also noteworthy ","PeriodicalId":42278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Legal Studies Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlse.12131","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42298934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
