Boom in corporate law
Today there is a high demand for corporate lawyers nationwide. This trend can be attributed to the economic boom our country has seen over the past few years.
The SNAPSHOT at left shows the legal areas of corporate law where growth is expected. How would you define intellectual property? What might account for the growth in this area of law? What impact does the Internet have on intellectual property growth? What about the Y2K (Year 2000) issue?
Read through USA TODAY to find articles about mergers and acquisitions, international issues, age and sex discrimination and the Y2K bug. Make a list of factors to explain the growth of each of the legal areas shown in the graphic. Share your list with the class, asking your classmates to evaluate your findings.
