{"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":"40 1","pages":"119-140"},"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}

It shocked students, who in the spring of 2020 were suddenly sent home to take class remotely. For many students, that was not an easy transition,2 due to fears of illness or death, isolation, financial concerns, difficult working-from-home situations, among other challenges.3 And of course the pandemic impacted professors as well.</p><p>My family largely escaped illness and other serious problems. For me, the biggest shock was moving from in-person teaching to online teaching. Notre Dame announced on March 11, 2020, that students, then on spring break, should not return to campus and would finish the semester online.4 Online classes would commence March 23, to give professors time to adjust to online teaching. Thus began Emergency Remote Teaching.5</p><p>Cengage Learning, Inc. kindly gave all students free online access to the textbook. In the space of ten days, fearing I would become ill myself, I recorded six weeks of Business Law lectures on Zoom, to be accessed by students asynchronously. The university recommended asynchronous delivery to accommodate students now spread across the globe, operating in different time zones. The back-and-forth of Socratic method became me, pausing, and then answering my own questions. I jettisoned an in-class group exercise on sales contracts, not knowing how to conduct it remotely under the circumstances. Toward fostering some student interaction, I created a chat room on Sakai and invited questions and discussion, but not a single student posted there. I held virtual office hours and live review sessions via Zoom. Students continued to submit homework on Sakai, as they had done previously. Exams were administered on Sakai. Because students would not be taking the exam simultaneously, as a security measure, questions were randomized and the exam was linear,6 which many students found frustrating.</p><p>All in all, the disrupted spring 2020 semester went well. Students were kind in course evaluations. They mentioned particularly my frequent emails, setting clear expectations, offering help, inviting questions, and expressing concern for their well-being. I was surprised to hear how much students appreciated campus photos I sent with some emails. My most popular attachment was a video of a herd of deer grazing on the main quad next to our Main Building. “They made me feel less homesick,” said one student, and others conveyed similar sentiments.</p><p>The ensuing 2020–2021 academic year was in many ways more difficult than the disrupted spring 2020 semester. Notre Dame students returned to campus. Most students attended class in-person, distanced and masked, but those in quarantine or isolation or with health problems or who could not obtain a visa to travel to campus attended via Zoom.7 We called it “dual mode.”8 Inevitably, several students in each section att","PeriodicalId":42278,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Legal Studies Education","volume":"39 1","pages":"75-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jlse.12122","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46470887","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}
