...The exam contains many short answer questions which you should easily get from the lecture notes, discussion board topics, Business Law in the News and common sense. You may want to go out on the web to add to your knowledge, but I caution you not to use the web as your sole source for your answers. Also, do not feel you need to add a bunch of extra words to expand on your answers. Be short and to the point. This is not a complicated exam. The exam also has a few questions that will require you to apply the law to different factual situations. Your ability to spot the relevant issues is important in this exam. Some of the topics covered on the exam are discussed below. - All law is business law, because all laws affect business in some way or another. - Regulatory law seeks to prevent past harms (eg. pollution and discrimination) from recurring and to clean up the results of past harms. - It is difficult to make current business clean up the messes caused by past businesses because the current business did not cause the current mess. - Congress’s constitutional authority always goes back to the Commerce Clause regulating interstate commerce. - Discrimination is illegal if it is arbitrary and based on a person's race, gender.

..."Employee Surveillance and Testing" Please respond to the following: Argue for or against the practice of electronic employee surveillance at work. Provide specific examples to support your argument. What laws, if any, may be violated by such practices? Employers want to be sure their employees are doing a good job, but employees don't want their every sneeze or trip to the water cooler logged. That's the essential conflict of workplace monitoring. New technologies make it possible for employers to monitor many aspects of their employees' jobs, especially on telephones, computer terminals, through electronic and voice mail, and when employees are using the Internet. Such monitoring is virtually unregulated. Therefore, unless company policy specifically states otherwise (and even this is not assured), your employer may listen, watch and read most of your workplace communications. One company offers technology that claims to provide insight into individual employee behavior based on the trail of "digital footprints" created each day in the workplace. This behavioral modeling technology can piece together all of these electronic records to provide behavior patterns that employers may utilize to evaluate employee performance and conduct. For example, it might look for word patterns, changes in language or style, and communication patterns between individuals. Recent surveys have found that a majority of employers monitor their employees. They are motivated by concern over litigation...
