Clayton High – Business & Personal Law

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

As students identify the need for laws, they will develop an appreciation of the rights, duties, and obligations of individuals as citizens and consumers. Criminal and civil law are introduced, including: trial procedures, jury selection, felonies, misdemeanors, torts, negligence, and damages. Laws governing minors at home, at school, and on the job are covered; also introduced are laws for adults and the family regarding marriage, wills, divorce, death, employment and contracts. This course is an excellent source for personal law- related topics, but also is a good introduction for a student that is considering studying law or business at the university level. (This course does not qualify for NCAA eligibility.)
