Business Law Curriculum at Yale
Business Law Courses
The course offerings in business law at Yale are wide-ranging and interdisciplinary. In addition to developing familiarity with the institutional landscape covered in core substantive law courses, students considering pursuing careers as transaction lawyers or corporate litigators need to master the basic analytical skills of financial accounting, finance, microeconomics and statistics. The following Law School courses impart that knowledge: Financial Accounting for Lawyers; Introduction to Microeconomic Theory for Law Students; Quantitative Corporate Finance; and Empirical Law & Economics. (In 2009-10 the Law School will not be offering a course in microeconomics; Economics 150, a Yale College course, covers similar material.) For Professor Romano's perspective on the implications of the transformation of corporate law scholarship and practice for business law education, click here.
