ACCTG 351B: Business Law (San Francisco, Fall 2013)
INSTRUCTOR: KRISTIN L. ROSI Work: (415) 538-4387 FAX: (415) 904-5854 E-mail: krosi@ggu.edu

In addition to working as an Adjunct Professor at Golden Gate University, I am employed as an Administrative Law Judge with the California Department of Insurance and as a Pro Tem Judge with the Alameda County Superior Court. Prior to becoming an ALJ, I was the Senior Regional Attorney at the California Public Employment Relations Board, where I authored a treatise on public sector employment. I was awarded an A.B. in Psychology and Women’s Studies by Smith College in 1992; a J.D. (Public Interest Scholar) by University of California, Hastings College of the Law, 1995; and am currently working on my PhD in Judicial Studies from the National Judicial College at the University of Nevada, Reno.

OFFICE HOURS: My office is located 1.5 blocks from 536 Mission St., so I can meet there by appointment. Please telephone or email me as early as possible for an appointment.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Focuses on the legal, regulatory and ethical context of professional accounting practice. This course will consider the law and the legal environment within which certified public accountants practice and the most important areas of the law affecting clients. Topics covered in this course are the law of administrative agencies; the regulation of professions generally and of accounting specifically; ethics and professional responsibility, the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct and the IMA's Statement of Ethical Professional Practice. Corporate governance, Sarbanes Oxley, and securities law will be emphasized.

COURSE OBJECTIVES: The course introduces the concepts and terminology of several fields of U.S. Business Law, as well as professional ethics, as applied to a variety of real world problems. Upon completion of ACCTG 351B, you should be able to recognize legal and ethical

problem situations; recognize when to seek expert legal and ethical counsel; and identify, summarize, and communicate, orally and in writing, the essential elements of the claims and judicial resolution of legal cases. Your ability to achieve these objectives will be evaluated by your performance on the case briefs, class discussions, and an excruciatingly final examination. TEXTBOOK: The textbook is Cheeseman, Business Law: Legal Environment, Online Commerce, Business Ethics, and International Issues, 8th ed. (ISBN 978-0-13-289041-0). COURSE ASSIGNMENTS: (1) You must turn in a case brief (i.e., a one-page “executive summary”) each week from Meeting #2 through Meeting #14, inclusive; (2) Lead (when designated by instructor) and participate in weekly class discussions of the cases; and (3) Take an excruciatingly difficult final exam.

Each brief must be done in the style and format described at pp. 5-9, below, with the following modifications: a brief may not exceed 1 page, with one-inch margins all the way around, at least 1.5 spacing, and at least 10-point font. To earn an “A,” logic, clarity, cogency, and interest must be evident. An “A” paper must be neatly typed, with virtually no errors in grammar, spelling, and style. A “B” paper will be well-written but will lack the “spark” of an “A” paper and may contain errors. A “C” paper will contain errors and be poorly written and/or organized. Lower grades are awarded for sub-standard papers. Late papers will be penalized according to the following formula: [(awarded points)(.97n)], where “n” = number of days late. You may work together to analyze and brief the cases, but each brief must be your own work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated!

Every student is expected to be an active participant in all class and CyberCampus discussions, including recitation of the facts, issue, rule, and judicial analysis, as well as ethical issues, of the cases assigned for briefing, as designated by the instructor from week-to-week. The quality of

participation, not the quantity of participation, is the primary indicator of effective class participation.

GRADING CRITERIA:

CYBERCAMPUS: I encourage you to regularly log on to the CyberCampus page for this course. The CyberCampus page includes the Syllabus, a Discussion Forum for each week, as well as a Gradebook and Weekly Assignment page. Additionally, during the semester I will post links to relevant professional responsibility rules and other documents meant to enhance your understanding of the legal rules and regulations applicable to your practice of accounting.

ATTENDANCE: When you must miss a class, it is your responsibility to catch up on your own, find out what material was covered, check with your classmates for any announcements or other information, and get a copy of the notes from one of your classmates. I do not give out my notes and slides and I absolutely will not re-teach material outside of class to students who miss class without excuse. Further, students who have missed many previous class sessions tend to hold the rest of the class back. EMAIL ETIQUETTE: Identify yourself in every email. Allow at least 24 hours for a response. When you email any professor, academic advisor, prospective employer, or graduate school admissions officer, remember that what you write and how you write it will shape the recipient’s perception of your intelligence and professionalism.

CLASS CONDUCT: Each student is expected to help maintain a positive and respectful classroom environment where each of us is valued equally as a human being, regardless of our views, race, gender, sexual orientation, income, background, or aptitude in economics or any other subject. I prohibit any behavior that makes it harder for me to conduct the class or harder for students to learn in class; such behavior includes (but is not limited to) use of a cell phone.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: All students must familiarize themselves with and agree to the GGU Student Code, which prohibits academic dishonesty and explains what happens when a student commits acts of academic dishonesty. I support these policies and enforce them. Understanding the importance of this issue is in your best interest as an honorable student who does not engage in academic dishonesty. What’s at risk here is no less than the value of a GGU degree, because academic dishonesty means that some students receive grades (and even degrees) without fully learning the skills those grades and degrees represent. These students then go on the job market, and prospective employers start to develop the perception that a GGU degree does not necessarily represent a high-quality candidate with the skills and knowledge needed for success. This perception makes it harder for those students who truly earned the GPAs that appear on their transcripts. Thus, academic dishonesty is nothing less than stealing from other students. It is important for all of us, faculty and students alike, to help develop a culture that sees cheating as what it really is--stealing from other students-- and a culture in which each of us values our integrity more highly than our GPAs.

Terri Schiavo Case Summary

...A recent case of euthanasia in the state of Florida was the Terri Schiavo case. Terri Schiavo collapsed at her home on February 1990, at the age of 26. She was admitted into the hospital in St.Petersburg, Florida. Terri had a brain injury due to oxygenation starvation to the brain, she was on a ventilator for a few weeks, and however, she was then taken off life support, since she started breathing on her own. Terri was married to Michael Schiavo, which was then appointed as her guardian by the courts, without notifying her family first ("Terri's Story," n.d.). Terri was provided with physical therapy by 1991. Terri’s husband initiated a medical malpractice lawsuit against her doctors, stating that Terri may have suffered of an eating disorder,...

Terri Schiavo Case Summary

...On February 25th, 1990, paramedics arrived at a Florida apartment complex and found a woman by the name of Terri Schiavo laying face down in the hallway of her apartment. Upon arrival, the paramedic's medical analysis showed that Schiavo's breathing had ceased and a pulse could not be found. Several attempts at resuscitation were made on the way to the hospital and upon arrival Schiavo was intubated and hooked up to a mechanical ventilator to assist her with breathing and receiving proper nutrition. The official medical records contained notes with various revelations and remarks from doctors. The information that stood out the most from the files were notes shedding some insight on two severe issues that could very well explain why a young and seemingly healthy woman would go into cardiac arrest out of nowhere. Schiavo suffered from a disease known as hypokalemia which basically meant her potassium levels were dangerously low. After running an extensive amount of medical tests, doctors realized Terri had been a diet that consisted mostly of consuming calorie-free liquids which was found to be her way of keeping her weight under control. At the time, Terri was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and about a year later the diagnosis was switched to persistent vegetative state. The main difference now was that she had no chance of recovery. Due to Florida state law, because she was married, her husband Michael Schiavo had the final say in any decision regarding her well-being....

Terri Schiavo Case Summary

...decision would be best, the court was petitioned by her husband to have the feeding tube removed. “In 1998, Schiavo’s husband, Michael, Petitioned the Sixth Circuit Court of Florida to remove her feeding tube pursuant to Florida Law.” Her parents were clearly against the decision to remove the feeding tube and pushed back, arguing that their daughter was indeed in her right mind and was not a vegetable. Unfortunately, due to the Pinellas County Court’s ruling on April 24, 2001 favoring her husband, the feeding tube was removed. “The court determined that Schiavo would not have wished to continue life-prolonging measures, and on April 24, 2001, her feeding tube was removed for the first time, only to be reinserted several days later.” The case continued to draw a large following to the point of even the U.S. President at the time George W. Bush became involved. “Several appeals and federal government intervention followed, which included U.S. President George W. Bush returning to Washington D.C. to sign legislation designed to keep her alive.” Even with Presidents Bush’s involvement it was still determined through federal appeals that the feeding tube should still be removed. “After appeals through the federal court system upheld the original decision to remove the feeding tube, staff at the Pinellas Park hospice facility disconnected the feeding tube on March, 18, 2005, and Schiavo died on March 31, 2005.” After many years of legal battles, appeals, and legislation from the President...
