Show by Professor Lee Harris
Season 1: Cracking Agency Law. Episode 1 (free).When does doing someone a favor make you their agent, and why does it matter? This episode opens the Business Organizations course where most casebooks do: with agency. We cover what agency is and why people delegate, the costs that appear when an agent's interests drift from the principal's, and the tools principals use to manage that gap. Then we take apart the Restatement (Third) of Agency's definition, with the consent that counts judged objectively, and three cases that show how easily an agency forms: Gorton v. Doty, Green v. H&R Block, and A. Gay Jenson Farms v. Cargill.This episode is free.
