Your Corporations Law Blog

You will work with your partner on a blog devoted to your area of corporations law.

You are expected to read and review the entire corporations law packet. However, on your blog and for your class blog presentation, you will only be responsible for mastery of your area of the law.

Next Thursday, July 31, come to class prepared to present your blog. Be an enthusiastic, attentive, and supportive audience member for your classmates.

1. You are required to create a functioning blog, i.e. we must be able to access and view it together on Monday, July 28 and Thursday, July 31.
a. Your blog should be started and your blog plan and lesson plan substantially complete on Monday, July 28.
b. Your blog and lesson plan are due in class on Thursday, July 31.
c. You and your partner will be expected to devote equal time to presenting your blog and guiding the class through its links and activities.

2. Your Blog--Law and Links
a. You are responsible for conveying, without copying verbatim, the most important points of your section of corporations law.
b. You should have a minimum of ten links to related web sites that contain content related to your area, examples of anaylsis of cases or problems in your area, or discussion of current legal issues in your area. You should use a variety of sources in your links. If you use multiple links to the same or similar sources, i.e. several wiki links, you will be expected to find an equal number of non-like sources, i.e. if 3 of your links are wikis, you should have 13 total links, minimum.
c. Format notes: Please create multiple blog posts. Your review of your area of the law should not be one or several extremely long posts. If you need to go beyond three paragraphs in a single post, condense the material or divide it over several posts.

3. Your Blog--Class Activities
a. Your blog should include two activities related to use and analysis of legal problems involving your area of corporate law.

If, for example, your blog is devoted to Corporate Leadership, you may create at least two sample scenarios for analysis that include corporate leaders misbehaving (self-dealing, committing fraud, profiting at the expense of the corporation).
Ask the class to analyze the scenario, using the law that you have covered in your blog. Please make sure that you have analyzed it yourself in advance of the July 31 class.

b. If you would like to use a different activity model for class practice of your area of law, please be ready to review your idea with an example, in class on Monday, July 28. Also be willing to compromise with me by doing one traditional analysis scenario as well as your suggested activity.
