Communication practitioners must be sensitive to the legal risks and implications of their messages. They must consider ethical responsibilities to clients, employees, and themselves. Clear and accessible documents, in language and design, help the company manage internal and external relations. In this essential course, students study such communications as contracts, briefs, client letters and proposals, to gain a firm understanding of the legal dimensions of organizational communication and to contribute that knowledge to the company’s enterprise and obligations.
