Chapter One: Introduction to the Study of Law

Introduction to the study of law, capacity to contract, ultra vires, and legality of contracts. You will find much more on this in my book, The Executive Juris Doctor, which is available on Amazon Books and the video course, by the same name, The Executive Juris Doctor, is available on Udemy.com. They explain in down-to-earth terms the basic doctrines of law that all attorneys would be expected to be familiar with. Knowledge is the most powerful tool available to mankind. It's the divider of the classes, the kingmaker, and yet, an intangible commodity that can only be earned, personally. Once acquired it can never be taken away. Understanding law is understanding the workings of society. Understanding how the system works is key to playing the system. You wouldn't spend serious money at the blackjack table if you didn't know how to play blackjack. To be successful, it helps to know and understand the system you're dealing with. In business, it is essential to understand how the legal system works. Trust me when I tell you, you do not need to be a genius to learn how to think like a lawyer. It requires understanding fundamental legal doctrines, and the ability to organize and compartmentalize your thinking. That is what attorneys do, they organize their thinking into a structure, or plan, and use various tools to build the foundation for their structure. They have a toolbox of legal theories at their disposal, and they organize their thinking in a conventional format via a language of accepted doctrines and concepts.
