CORL301 | Corporate Law I

This course broadly deals with (Indian) corporate law. It deals with the world of corporate entities and is focused upon their:

• foundation,

• formation,

• finance; and

• governance.

Together with corporate law 2, which is scheduled in the next term, this course aims to cover  a broad range of issues in corporate law. This is a core course mandated by the Bar Council of India. The methodology adopted for the course builds upon at least two foundation courses – jurisprudence and legal methods.

The approach of the course is that of a synthesis between theory (jurisprudence) and practice. In terms of jurisprudence, the methodology adopted for the purposes of this course is that of an amalgamation of ‘exclusive legal positivism’ and ‘law and economics’.
