Business Law


Business is described as any engagement under the name of a person or an entity done for profitable ends. The activity dates back in ancestry in form of barter, when ancient people entered into trade by exchanging goods. Later on, it has evolved to include delivery of services to reap a descent income. Business either in the old or present time aims at providing mutual gain on both parties involved. In the same way, business entities provide economic gain being the lifeblood of capital economies. Consequently, there are many types of business in terms of ownership and industry under the ambit of business law.

In a legal sense, commercial law is defined as a branch of civil law that governs all sorts of business as well as commercial pursuits. Most likely, it forms part of the Civil Code employed by every State. Rules on Business Law may also be codified particularly under the Code of Commerce. For instance, the United States of America is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. This legal faculty commonly includes rules of conduct that regulate the company’s internal and external operations. As a result, it involves overall business activities relating to contracts, finance, tax, mergers, takeovers, etc.

Business Law, also known as Commercial Law, deals with an array of business transactions. In effect, it covers both public and private affairs involved in trade. These consist of advertising, banking, collection, marketing, sales, and the consequences thereof such as negotiable instruments, undertaking contracts, and the like. Furthermore, this body of law ranges from national to international settings in case of multinational companies. Such a broad legal scope is inevitable given the global trend that demands unified international laws on commerce. Nonetheless, business laws vary by State by virtue of implied sovereignty. Besides, it is a well known fact that every territory needs distinct set of norms to regulate commerce and trade.

Like any other legal studies, there are many academic options for students. In fact, the academe offers various degree courses relating to commercial law. These are accessible both in graduate and undergraduate schools under bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs. Business Law courses can also be part of many other legal disciplines such as labour law, tax law, corporate law, etc. All these are offered in top law schools found all over the globe such as Harvard University (America), Oxford University (Europe), and National University of Singapore (Asia).

Employment options await graduates of Business Law in various parts of the world. Nations run by capital economies comprise a great career niche to professionals. Every corporate entity is likely to hire its own legal team led by lawyers with specialty in commercial law. Public agencies under the Department of Commerce can also provide job posts to legal specialists. Non-profit groups may hire corporate lawyers in dealing with private companies. Academic institutions can offer teaching posts to competent degree holders who intend to share their expertise in the academe. Given sufficient funding, one may opt to establish a law firm that provides legal services on matters relating to business law.

Studying Abroad is All up to You

The mere vision of leaving can really scare anyone. It is hard to leave things you’re used to or the things you grew up living with. Making the choice between staying and leaving was never easy. You sure are going to miss “everyone”. You’re going to miss your parents, your pets and maybe you’re best friend who is staying or even a lover perhaps. But do you think it would change a thing between you and your relationships with your loved ones if you leave or stay?

Your parents will always be your parents wherever place you might be at. Well, as for your pets, they’re really going to miss you if you live but hey, they’ll be fine (as long as the one you left them to keeps them alive). I believe your best friend or even friends will always be what they are to you and vice versa. They might find new people to be with, but that certainly doesn’t erase what you’ve been through together. As for your lover, well, it’s sort of a test you see. They always said in those Women’s Magazines that “long-distance relationships are hard” to deal with. If you really do love each other, you’ll both make things work, if not, and then maybe it wasn’t really meant to be (like they always say). If you’re concentrating on one thing in a place faraway from home, it’s better to cut connections that are distractions in achieving the point of this process you are being through.

What kind of “leaving” are we really talking about that makes it all so serious anyway? Yes, you guessed it right, studying in abroad!

A lot of people have been going through this: decision making, leaving loved ones, getting ready and just enjoying whatever life might serve them.

But doesn’t it excite you to be in a place you’ve never been?

Studying well is just the thing you have to be serious about. Rest is bonus. You get to tour the new country you’re at (oh seriously, you have to), meet new people (staying friends with the ones that has the same race as you won’t hurt but being friends with as many people is better, who knows? You might even get nominated for most popular), learning everything this place has to offer you and being one with them. These things are priceless, more than anything else.

Well what change would it make if you study at your local college and study in another country?

It is the same reason why parents send their kids away for college, good quality education (even better perhaps). It’s the specialty of the country university you are aiming for. It’s the jewel they are so much proud of you wanted to get around with and honestly it will be good for you to experience something like that.

Some countries, they are better in medicine (course). Some in culinary arts like France. Many in the engineering side and the rest are for me to know and you to find out.

You can find good universities anywhere. You can study wherever you want. You can find many good teachers that’ll teach you not only about the course you are taking but also the way of life. But at the end of the day, it is you that’s going to decide. It’s still you who has to set your mind to what you want tomorrow to be. It’s all up to you.

What to Expect: the Journey Studying Abroad will Bring

Studying abroad these days have been made easier for the present generation. If financial assistance is what you need and you know you’re good enough, there’s a huge amount of scholarship grants being given away every year. Scholarship grants from all over the world, from prestigious schools and even the not-so ones. Of course, they are not just being given away. You really have to “do” good to qualify. You don’t have to be super-extra-mega smart to get it (because if you think you do, trust me, scholarships are a waste of time, universities themselves will be the ones knocking out your front door). Now, I didn’t mean that as an insult. What I wanted to tell you is, scholarships are being given to those that are not only gifted in the brain but much more also to those that are very determined about what they really want to be in the future. In short, scholarships, not only for the gifted brains but more so likely, determined hearts.

Online guides too are a big help in choosing schools abroad. There are a lot of websites in the internet that has hundreds of connections to universities all over the world. It’s where you can choose a country, enter a city, put your desired college course and they would show you a list of universities and colleges that specializes or is available to the said course. They feature scholarships too, what a coincidence! Bottom-line is, they showcase every help you could ever need and if that doesn’t satisfy you to what you want, I don’t know what will.

Another one that’s made it easier is its widespread occurrence to people. Many have been going around; studying away and you can use their experience as a base to what you can expect to happen when you’re there.

One thing to expect is “loneliness”. Maybe it is because of language barriers, focused too much on studying (especially the ones with scholarships), no group of friends because of race or gender or just typically really shy. What you need to do is to really go out there and enjoy the moment, talk to anyone, act like you don’t care at all and be yourself, the friendly-outgoing one. Otherwise, you’re going to waste the chance that’s been given to you and instead of it being a very special journey or phase of your life, it will be like hell everyday living alone.

The last thing you need to remember in choosing a university or college abroad is you have to want and love where you’re going. You’re going to live in there for four years or so and if you don’t like it there, that’s going to be a big problem for you. It doesn’t have to be the most prestigious university in the world; it doesn’t have to be Harvard, Juilliard, Princeton or Oxford. It just has to be where your heart is set at and where you feel you deserve to be. That way you can wake-up every morning contented and ready to learn and to be stressed but still sociable and onset.

Good Things about Studying in Abroad

Almost every child in the world dreams of this mad freedom once in a while (especially the well-sheltered ones or those with parents who find it hard letting go). If you’re old enough or soon attending college, what better way of an excuse for independence than quality education? The only thing parents will never refuse to is for the good future of their children to materialize or come to life. And a person’s success is not only based intellectually or spiritually but most important of all, experience.

Freedom is just the sugar-coating of the situation. Come to think of it though, it’s not actually running from who you are or where-you-belong loophole, it is really actually about the “good future”. Many have tried studying abroad and had an immediate job-landing that suits their expertise very well. Many successful, some… very successful!

Now, what is it with studying abroad that really, “makes-it-happen”? That’s a question you’re going to really think of while you are on that airplane ride to Spain for college (or whichever country based on your college course for that matter).

Since we are already talking about Spain, let me tell you briefly why I think it is the country where most of the young-curious minds longs to wander. Besides from Spanish is already usually taught to students in middle-school, the country’s culture is very rich! Its landmarks will take you to a different time in place. Whether we go down to discovering their lifestyle, language and arts or just simply taking time to read about their history and conquerors, there’s always something that’s going to light a fire in you.

Going back to why it seems that it is far better to study away than here or there.

Because there are countries that are concentrated for certain kinds of interest, it really does make it better to study there.

For example, you are an aspiring fashion designer and you really want the best place to hone your ability, what better place it is to be for an alma-matter than New York or Paris, don’t you think? Besides that they have teachers and mentors that are really the best (I heard that famous designers sometimes drops by to lecture), it is a place where fashion events are held more than birthdays are. Actual and first-hand experience is the best tool in understanding.

Finally, we can talk about “real-life experience”.

I think it is really admiring when people can speak two or more languages. Not because they are good enough to know them but because you know they have been to places that required speaking differently. Also when you talk to people that just arrived from somewhere else, it is not how it was that you envy in them whenever they start telling stories, but the things that have changed them to who they are today.

Those simple moments not money can buy but those things that are keeping you there, in the same place. It’s the people. It’s the culture, it’s the country and it’s the difference – difference of the place and the difference of who you are slowly becoming, a more mature and well-rounded person.
