Happy to report Harvard Business School includes law 
within the required core course Leadership and Corporate 
Accountability and Yale School of Management has a 
required core course State and Society that includes lots 
of law, incl. product liability, employment 
discrimination, securities regulation, bankruptcy, 
environmental regulations, litigation, intellectual 
property, and international trade. BTW State and Society 
is part of Yale's new Perspectives Core and is coequal w/ 
Investor, Competitor,  Customer, and Employee. See Yale 
SOM website for more details. In fact, Yale just recruited 
me so they could add more law to the first-year, which we 
did in the course I just finished teaching w/ Doug Rae, a 
political scientist. We also covered subprime crisis, 
Cummins' decision to set up a government relations 
function in China, the US presidential elections, and 
gathering of government intelligence by Medley Global 
Advisors. Cases included Suzlon (fifth largest 
wind-turbine manufacturer in world and its int'l expansion 
strategy), Merck and Vioxx, route for BP Pipeline to carry 
oil from Aberbijian, Southern States Communications, USG 
Corporation, and privatization of water in Bolivia. yale 
and its new dean Joel Podolny have gotten lots of good 
press re its integrated approach. The joy of having a dean 
who is a sociologist not an economist.

Best,
Connie
