Well since it is called Legal 101 how about these topics

1. How legislation is created
2. what is the difference between a statute and regulation
3. Explain the differences between a criminal case and a civil case.
4. Define a contract/agreement
5. Explain statutes of limitation
6. How does a lawsuit get to federal courts
7. How to 'read' a regulation
8. What makes Louisiana different from the other states (legally)
9. What are the basic steps in a lawsuit
10. What is case law and what makes it important.
11. What is precedent?
12. Basic legal terms (stare decisis, voir dire, sui generis, etc)

Start with the basics Legal 102 could cover the major issues that
affect records management
