Incorporating Service Learning Into A Business Law Course

KEYWORDS: Service learning, law, management, ethics, corporate social responsibility

The law is a minimum standard of conduct in society. For management programs that include courses in the law, pairing legal principles and service learning may seem like an unlikely combination. Though the law does not require organizations to serve their communities, incorporating service work into the business law classroom is an important aspect of management student learning. In this session, we will explore the theoretical background and practical ways in which service learning can used to illustrate law-related concepts. Examples of service projects will be given that will encourage management students to “think beyond” the legal minimum.
