"The 'credit' of an individual means his ability to borrow money by virtue of the confidence or trust reposed by a lender that he will pay what he may promise."
Justice George A. Malcolm, People v. Concepcion, 44 Phil. 126 (1922).

Special Project

(Updated Version 2016)

The Special Project is an oral report consisting of a 1.5 hour lecture on one of the topics listed. Purely voluntary, the intention is to assist students who are running for honors or who are working for a specific grade point average. The report must include a discussion of the salient provisions of the law and at least 2 illustrative Supreme Court cases (aside from the cases assigned in the outline). Provided the report is well researched and presented, a credit of at most .25 shall be granted for the final grade of the student. The credit shall not help a student who has a failing or incomplete grade in the Course.

The topics are some of the Special Commercial laws included in the Course:
1. The Code of Commerce/Letters of Credit/The Trust Receipts Law
2. The Truth in Lending Act/Usury Law, and
3. The Warehouse Receipts Law/ The General Bonded Warehouse Act.

Volunteers shall be chosen on a first-to-claim-basis on the first day of class.
