Mr. Burris, one of KCCC's CollegeU-Business instructors, put students into the roles of attorneys arguing a complex corporate crisis involving a fictional manufacturing company during Business Law class. Half of the class represented the company’s defense counsel, while the other half served as federal regulators and plaintiff attorneys. Their job was to analyze the facts, apply the law, and present their arguments to the judge. Students had to identify the applicable statutes, explain the legal elements, and defend their arguments under questioning. Great opportunity for our students!
