It's interesting that you asked about this course because here at
Michigan State University, we have been "playing around" with law in the
MBA program for the past four years.  For a time, it was a part of two
other courses and for the first time this year, it is a 2 credit Ethics
and Law class (the Associate Dean wanted the Ethics listed first).  I am
teaching it and find that it is impossible to do justice to the topics
with 2 credits.  I find, in fact, that the ethics is given the least
amount of time as helping the MBA's understand the law and how it works
in the workplace takes up at least the 3 1/2 hours I have with them each
week (it's taught in a mini-mester style).  I assigned an ethics reading
but we never seem to be able to get to it and are behind even on the
legal material.  I mentioned to the MBA director just the other day that
I am concerned about the ethics material being lost.  As for material--I
have had to put together a custom text in order to integrate the topics
in law and ethics that I want to cover.
