This course is the second course in a two-part series on corporate and commercial law. In this part, we focus on three main topics: business organizations, business financing, and governmental regulation. In the first module, we discuss the characteristics of a number of the most common forms of business entities, such as corporations and LLCs. Module two is devoted to debtor-creditor relationships, including bank financing, debt financing, secured transactions, and bankruptcy. We wrap up the course with two modules that focus on the most important aspects of governmental regulation, including the process by which administrative agencies make rules, and the regulation of anti-competitive behavior and securities transactions.

Professor Michael R Fricke
Teaching Assistant Professor
Department of Business Administration

Little bit about me, I don't know what you want to know about me.

My title here is I'm a Teaching Assistant Professor in

the Department of Business Administration at

the Gies College Business at the University of Illinois,

which is a mouthful really,

that's hard to fit on a business card.

What does that mean? It means,

I teach courses in the fields of business law and business ethics.

I teach our core undergrad business law class

that all college business undergrads have to take,

I teach a couple of business ethics classes,

I teach a really cool class,

that's where I coach

a team of students to go to business ethics case competitions around the country.

I teach an MBA ethics class.

I teach this class which is basically,

business law for people who are going into accounting

focused on the legal topics in the CPA exam.

So I teach a lot of things around here,

I'm also the director of undergraduate studies

in the Department of Business Administration,

which means if there is an undergrad issue from one of our seven majors,

my committee and I deal with it.

So that's what I do here. But how do I get here?

I'm originally from Austin, Texas.

You might not notice from the accent I never got one but I grew up in

Austin and I have a deep and abiding love for all things Austin,

barbecue, tacos, not the Longhorns but everything else from Austin I love.

And I came up here to the University of Illinois actually for college.

I studied engineering and philosophy here as an undergrad

and moved away for a few years after college and then came back.

I went to law school here, I got my MBA from Gies College of Business,

long before it was the Gies College of Business and just college business at that time.

But I got my MBA here, my law degree here,

and then I went and practiced law for about six and a half years,

mostly in the field of corporate and commercial law.

That's this class.

And also, a lot of real estate work.

A little bit of litigation but I tried to steer away from that.

Then after about six and a half years of practicing law,

opportunity came up for me to come back here to my alma mater and teach,

and I jumped at it.

I've been here for four years now and I absolutely love it.

I love working with students, undergrads,

grads, in person online you name it.

I really enjoy working with students.

So I'm looking forward to working with all of you over

this course and please reach out to me if you have any questions,

concerns, comments or you just want to talk.
