Description
Financial regulation is the principal tool used by the public or official sector to achieve or approach financial stability and market integrity. The events of 2020-21, and the impact of the financial cataclysms of 2008-10, prove that in times of severe stress (whether or not fundamentally economic or financial) the functioning of and support by financial regulation is both objectively and subjectively central. It's also notable that regulation can stifle important ways in which finance can making funding available to meet the needs of a population and the innovation that enables the financial system to address the needs of the real economy. This seminar reviews the structure and operations of financial market regulation--specifically securities, derivatives (or swaps), banking, and systems to inhibit money laundering and terrorist (or "threat") financing. We will concentrate on United States regulatory systems, but we will -- as we must-- examine the international regulatory regimes and the cross-border effects of regulation. Know it or not, or like it or not, regulation of financial markets touches and changes every aspect of our economic lives. (Paying rent and buying groceries and obtaining cash from an ATM and obtaining funding for nonprofit organizations are parts of those economic lives, as are public and private issuances of securities, and multibillion dollar finacings.) This topic includes cryptocurrency, blockchain records, fintech, public-sector support for markets and issuers, and consumer credit regulation, all of which we will discuss during the class as time permits. This is not a substitute for a securities regulation course but, then, securities regulation is not a prerequisite for this class. A major paper will be required at the end of the course. Course grades are determined by class participation, the paper, and a short writing assignment to be completed in the first part of the course. (Class participation may include some short, narrow quizzes that are calibrated to assess the general achievement of learning outcomes.) Consistently with a recognition that the topic has broad application, the course materials come from many sources (some of which may be surprising) and are in different media. That having been said, one requisite for the course--by no means a formal one, but a real requirement-- is that the students have an interest in learning about the area. And, notwithstanding the language that precedes this sentence, the instructor is pretty casual.

Financial regulation is the principal tool used by the public or official sector to achieve or approach financial stability and market integrity. The events of the early months of 2020 prove that in times of severe stress (whether or not fundamentally economic or financial) the functioning of and support by financial regulation is both objectively and subjectively central.

Description
In this seminar we review the structure and operations (including enforcement) of regulation of financial markets--specifically securities, derivatives (or swaps), banking, and systems to inhibit money laundering and terrorist (or 'threat") financing. Although we will concentrate on United States regulatory systems, we will -- as we must-- examine the international regulatory regimes and the cross-border and extraterritorial effects of regulation. We will also spend some time reviewing the domestic regulatory regimes of selected non-U.S. jurisdictions. A major paper will be required at the end of the course. Course grades are determined by class participation and the paper. Know it or not, or like it or not, regulation of financial markets touches and changes every aspect of our economic lives. (Paying a mortgage or rent and buying groceries and obtaining cash from an ATM and obtaining funding for nonprofit organizations are parts of those economic lives.) Our course of study will either introduce or further explain the area. This is not a substitute for a securities regulation course but, then, securities regulation is not a prerequisite for this class. Consistently with a recognition that the topic has broad application, the course materials come from many sources (some of which may be surprising) and are in different media.

Course Information
- Course ID:

Registration Information
- Upperclass-only elective
Description
This seminar will study contemporary cases and controversies involving Remedies (i.e., what an injured person receives after liability is determined or presumed). The seminar will build on topics you likely covered in your torts and contracts classes (measuring damages, restitution) and some topics that you may not have studied in detail (rescission, injunctions) though you may have addressed in other classes. We will also explore topics you may never have viewed as being a remedy (attorney’s fees), defenses to remedies (unclear hands, mitigation), and topics you may never have studied though you likely have seen mentioned in cases you have read in other classes (contempt and declaratory judgments).
The seminar will focus on remedies that have been implicated in lawsuits involving the former President of the United States (FPOTUS) and people in his orbit. While the title of this course includes the word “politics” this will not be a partisan course and class discussions will not involve election law or political action committees. Instead, we will consider the types of remedies that plaintiffs have sought (or have been awarded) in lawsuits involving FPOTUS+ orbit.
Evaluation for the seminar will be based on a series of assessments, including class participation, Canvas postings, and a final paper (including a first draft).

Description
The criminalization of abortion in many U.S. states following the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has disrupted the presumed divide between reproductive rights and criminal law, with many in each field now attempting to familiarize themselves with the other. Reproductive justice scholars and advocates, however, have long been working at the intersection of these fields—considering the impacts of the overcriminalization and surveillance of poor communities of color on a variety of pregnancy outcomes. They have also identified multiple ways that criminal law, mass incarceration, and other institutional mechanisms such as the child welfare system impede not only the right not to have children but to have them and to raise them in safety and with dignity.
This seminar will use a reproductive justice lens to consider the criminalization of reproduction, broadly understood—historical and contemporary, local and global. It will be organized around the work of leading scholars who will present their research to the university community in a public forum as part of the course. Students will read work by each speaker as well as related scholarly materials.
Students are expected to participate actively in class discussions, engage with speakers during the public lectures, write short critical responses to assigned reading, and write a longer essay on a topic related to the themes that arise during the semester. The seminar is open not only to law students but to non-law graduate and professional students with relevant background.
Cristina Ramirez and Blake Rocap will also participate in presenting this course.

The criminalization of abortion is set to follow the same path, directly and indirectly disproportionately affecting those from overcriminalized groups.
This seminar will consider the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice. It will do so with the aim of achieving a better understanding of the current moment so that we might formulate better responses. It will be organized around the work of leading scholars who will present their research to the university community in a public forum. Students will spend roughly two weeks considering work by each speaker as well as related scholarly materials.
Students are expected to participate actively in class discussions, write short critical responses to assigned reading by visiting scholars, and write a longer essay on a topic related to the themes that arise during the semester. Readings for the seminar will come from a variety of disciplines, including law, sociology, and public health. The seminar is open not only to law students but to non-law graduate and professional students with relevant background.
SMNR: SEC Enforcement Practice
- WED 3:55 – 5:45 pm TNH 3.124
Course Information
- Course ID:
- 397S
Registration Information
- Upperclass-only elective
Description
Have you wondered how it is determined that some crypto-currency activities violate the securities laws? Or what might make trading in meme stocks subject to enforcement action? The objective of this course is to illuminate such questions by giving students a practical appreciation of both the process through which securities law enforcement decisions are made, and the way in which the reach of the securities laws has developed as a consequence. We will cover two broad areas. First, the mechanics of the securities enforcement process and the roles played in it by government lawyers, defense lawyers, the Commission, and the courts. The goal is to provide an “insiders” appreciation of how enforcement decision-making occurs, and how it operates as a significant driver in the development of the substantive securities law. The second part of the course will be a deep dive into substantive areas of the securities law that are particularly shaped by enforcement decision making, including, for example, the prohibitions on insider trading, foreign corrupt practices, financial fraud, market manipulation and the emerging regulation of crypto-currencies. A consistent theme will be the utility and consequences of developing law through ad hoc enforcement decisions. The professor had a 35-year securities enforcement career that included positions as a senior SEC enforcement official and as a partner in a global law firm representing clients in defense of securities enforcement investigations, and has deep experience with these issues from both perspectives.

Description
This is a new seminar designed for students who want to engage with some of the major movements being launched in support of planetary conservation through analytic and practical investigation. The movements under study will include land and water set-asides (eg, the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Global Evergreening Alliance); the "new food" movement (eg, Eat Just's lab-grown chicken; Blue Nalu's lab-grown fish; and solar-powered cooking); new construction (eg, mass timber; replacements for concrete); the movement to de-commission or "trade" dams, to re-negotiate multi-state river compacts, and to "retreat"! from beaches and shorelines; and to "re-use" and "replace" pl! astics within the circular economy. We'll focus on the work of particular public and private organizations leading these charges, including Austin start-ups being fostered by ATL (the Austin Technology Lab). We'll make a pro bono contribution to the work of at least two of these organizations through group projects. Students will also write a research paper on approved topics within the whole.

- WED 3:55 – 5:45 pm TNH 3.116
Course Information
- Course ID:
- 397S
Registration Information
- Upperclass-only elective
Description
This writing seminar will examine selected topics of student interest regarding all aspects of maritime law ranging from commercial law to “torts at sea.” The field of maritime casualties and transactions involves issues ranging across much of the basic law school curriculum including civil procedure, comparative law, conflicts of law, constitutional law, contracts, creditors’ rights, environmental law, federal courts, insurance, international law, legislation, products liability, property, remedies, torts and workers’ compensation.
In the early weeks of the semester students will be introduced to the broad legal background in this field. Thereafter emphasis will be placed on analytical research and writing skills with maritime law as the subject matter. Guidance will be provided regarding paper topic selection – topics will be suggested, but students may select their own topic subject to approval. Subsequent sessions will consist largely of discussions of ongoing student research, draft paper preparation and review with feedback, and student presentations of the results of their original research.
A traditional seminar paper of roughly 30 pages will be required. During the semester students will present topics of interest to them, detailed outlines of their paper, and rough drafts of their paper for discussion, analysis and feedback. Class discussion of the papers will be an important aspect of the learning experience.
Although the seminar may be taken on a pass/fail basis, students in need of a required writing seminar will be assigned a letter grade based on the quality of the paper and participation in class.
Prior study or experience regarding maritime law will afford some advantage, but such is not a prerequisite.
During the spring of 2024 there are three writing competitions involving monetary awards for papers addressing maritime law issues sponsored by the Federal Bar Association Admiralty Law Section, the Admiralty and Maritime Law Committee of the American Bar Association and the Judge John R. Brown Scholarship Foundation. The Fall timing of this seminar will afford students the opportunity to submit papers in these Spring competitions.

Description
This will be a writing seminar focused on significant social problems resulting from various aspects of Texas criminal procedure. While as a class we will conduct a study of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and related statutes, each student will select (or be assigned) a specific research topic which will be the subject of a paper of no less than 30 single spaced pages. In addition to written resources, students will be required to reach out to active practitioners in the criminal justice system---prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, and others---to gain an understanding of how the criminal justice system actually works and to develop an understanding of the often unintended and poorly understood societal problems arising from that system.
We will have a number of guest speakers, some of whom may be proposed by the students.
This seminar will be challenging and is intended to result in papers that could be submitted for publication.
Class attendance (no more than two missed classes) and active class participation are required and will constitute 20% of the grade. The final paper will constitute the other 80%.
