Boise State Selland College Offers Workshop on Legal Issues that Affect Small Businesses

An interactive workshop focused on legal issues and Supreme Court decisions that affect small businesses will be held on Oct. 27 at Boise State University. It is designed for lawyers, MBA students and small business owners and managers.

“Diagnosis and Cure of the Most Serious Legal and Ethical Issues Facing Every Business Owner, Manager and Entrepreneur: A Holistic View” will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 27 in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom. The workshop presenter is Stephanie Huneycutt Bardwell from Christopher Newport University.

This five-hour workshop provides an intelligent, interactive review of the top legal and ethical issues facing small businesses and entrepreneurs in 2007. The emphasis is on how to recognize costly, dangerous, unethical and illegal business practices. The session concludes with hands-on development of low cost/no cost solutions to correct these issues.

Bardwell has a law degree from the Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco and a master of laws in taxation from the College of William and Mary, Marshall-Wythe School of Law, in Williamsburg, Va. She is the chair of Management and Marketing at Christopher Newport University, a past chair of Management and Economics, and a director of the Small Business Institute at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. Bardwell is also a certified small business counselor and a Sam Walton fellow.

Her research interests include ethics, law, small business enterprise and intellectual property, with particular interest in Supreme Court decisions that affect small business, international business and entrepreneurship.

The workshop is sponsored by Delta Epsilon Chi and the Center for Business and Management in the Selland College at Boise State University. Delta Epsilon Chi is an organization for marketing students whose members compete at the annual DEC International Career Conference. The workshop is a fund-raising event for student members who will travel to Orlando, Fla., for the 2007 competition.
