Fellow BLPB blogers have shared on and off line their coverage scope and strategies for Business Associations/Corporations. In thinking about how to fit in big corporate constitutional questions into a syllabus that is already jam packed with topics, this 2013 article (Teaching Citizens United v. FEC in the Introductory Business Associations Course) by Michael Guttentag at Loyola Los Angeles, provides some great suggestions. Written in a post-Citizens United and pre-Hobby Lobby era, I think his insights are broadly applicable about how corporate constitutional rights illustrate the "costs that may arise from differences between manager interests and shareholder interests, the costs that may arise from following a shareholder primacy norm, and the distinctive nature of the role of the transactional lawyer." This short (8 pages) article is worth reading to identify some opportunities to discuss these important issues in a way that illustrates difficult concepts within your existing syllabus and hopefully keep students engaged throughout the semester.
