Requirements: Must meet RCB upper division course requirements and 45 semester hours or consent of instructor. This course is a survey of statutes and cases protecting consumers in the national marketplace. Students learn how to advocate for their rights, with common problems of everyday life, including: landlord-tenant, health insurance, and other contract disputes, car dealership scams, fixing bad credit, debt collection, consumer fraud, data breaches, and identity theft. Ultimately, participants are taught how to effectively document proof, file a small claims court lawsuit, and argue their case.
