Abstract: | A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review found that lawyers often made better CEOs than their comparative MBAs (citation below). The prime reasons were practical experience in legal reasoning and the study of cases containing real examples of business disputes and failures.
Accordingly, the Essential Concepts of Canadian Business Law (ECCBL) is designed to give business students legal training for the real world in both those skills by teaching legal reasoning and providing case examples.
The ECCBL explains the process of legal reasoning, based on deductive logic; demonstrates the application of the law to realistic, practical examples that occur frequently in business; and provides solutions on how a business can avoid the pitfalls shown in many of the questions.
It closes the gap between theory and practice by, for example in contracts, providing common business contracts and relating the abstract legal principles to the terms of these standard contracts.
It provides unique, very easy to solve practical questions immediately after each topic. They are questions that test the application of the law to a realistic business situation. This also allows for the option of a more interactive approach. The students can answer the questions in class without advance preparation. Henderson, Do Lawyers Make Better CEOs Than MBAs?
