This is a complete summary of everything that is examinable for BLAW 201: Legal Foundations of the Canadian Economy at the University of Alberta. Within this document, you will find a comprehensive evaluation of the examinable topics for the course. You will learn and discover how the law affects business decision making and operations. It does so by examining a number of fundamental legal principles that impinge upon key business areas such as contract law, tort law, and consumer law. It also considers the relationship between business and regulators. This ideal guide is extremely helpful for you to revise all the topics, and to prepare for your assessments and the final exam.

This course provides an introduction to three key areas of business and commercial law: the Canadian legal system, contract law, and tort law. As a subject, law places unique demands on students, requiring them to communicate effectively and clearly, even when dealing with situations where there may not be a definite right or wrong answer. By the end of the course, students will have developed a solid understanding of legal principles related to the legal system, contracts, and torts. You will also learn to avoid common issues in these areas and be able to identify legal problems, apply relevant laws, and propose appropriate solutions.

* Credit for this course is limited to either BLAW 201 (previously BLAW 301) or ENGG 420; students cannot receive credit for both BLAW 201 and BLAW 301.
