At NMSU, the legal environ. course is not a gen ed. course, but the blaw
faculty developed another course called "Consumers and the Law" which is
certified as a gen ed. course and may be taken to satisfy gen ed.
requirements by students outside the college of business.  The course has a
substantial overlap with Legal environ. of business but focuses more on
issues every person needs to know -- and that we often don't get to in Legal
Environ.  such as wills & trusts, landlord-tenant, consumer protection laws
etc., legal issues in buying a car, legal issues in buying a home, legal
issues relating to employment (from the employee perspective instead of
management).  Liz
