The objectives of this course are:
- to develop students' ability to explain their knowledge of law in English;
- for students to learn basic knowledge of corporations and corporate law, especially corporate governance; and

The instructor will provide concise handouts and/or reading materials for each class. Students are expected to read them before the class. Besides, students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in class discussions.
