In this four-part mini-course, visiting professor Daniel Sinclair covers areas of Jewish business law and professional ethics that are relevant to important contemporary issues. These include elements of contract law, competition law, restraint of trade, and intellectual property, as well as labor law, ethics of the marketplace, legal ethics, professional confidentiality, resource allocation, and charitable donations. The salient principles governing these issues will be outlined, and their nature and function discussed in light of case-law and teachings found in the Talmud and rabbinic literature.
