- MON 4:15 – 6:13 pm ONLINE
Course Information
- Course ID:

- Cross-listed with:
- Other school
Registration Information
- Upperclass-only elective
Description
This course will be taught entirely online via Zoom.
This workshop seminar will focus on cutting-edge research in business law and economics. Most weeks will feature a leading outside scholar presenting a work-in-progress relating to current issues in business law.
The range of subject matter includes economically-oriented work on business law, securities regulation, tax, or commercial law. Many of the papers presented will likely deal with normative questions of private ordering versus public regulation, and will examine problems that arise in both the private and public law spheres. Similarly, it is expected that many of the papers will consider social welfare effects, such as the effect of law and regulation on entrepreneurship, innovation, capital formation, and financial markets.
Students will be responsible for written assessments of the paper being presented, and will be evaluated based on their writings and their participation in the workshop. Students' critiques may be made available to the speaker.

SMNR: Business Scandal and Crisis Management: Case Studies in Compliance
- FRI 9:50 – 11:40 am TNH 3.129
Course Information
- Course ID:
- 397S
Registration Information
- Upperclass-only elective
Description
Many law school courses deal with the role of the “outside” lawyer in counseling clients and, often, representing clients in a litigation setting. This course deals with the compliance function—described by one author as the function that establishes and confirms “conformity between . . . action and a rule or standard,” the latter being determined by law, regulation or an organization’s policies. The compliance role within an organization principally focuses on avoiding problems (and resultant crises for the organization) by establishing policies designed to ensure that personnel conform to legal and regulatory requirements, counseling personnel when questions arise and establishing “early warning” systems to detect and respond to instances of possible malfeasance. It is also one of the organizational roles currently providing the most employment opportunities for lawyers—a law degree (or bar admission) may not technically be required to serve as a compliance officer, but it is increasingly seen by organizations as desirable, and is often becoming a requirement. The course will examine the role of the compliance function within a corporation or other organization and its relationship to other organizational roles and to regulatory agencies. It will also examine a number of current or recent situations in which problems—crises for the organizations involved—have been uncovered and will consider how more effective compliance programs might have unearthed them earlier, in time to avoid the crisis. Quite often (and contrary to the popular image), the best service a lawyer can perform for her client, but one that is invisible to public awareness, is to foresee a potential issue and adopt changes that avoid its occurrence. This course will provide some of the tools useful in that endeavor. The course is offered as a seminar for up to 16 students and will require a final paper submission (in lieu of an exam), as well as a short mid-course paper to provide an opportunity for earlier feedback. Course materials will be provided by the instructor and there will be no casebook..

Registration Information

Description
This seminar will examine historic and contemporary issues of race and the death penalty within American law and jurisprudence. Through this course, students will learn substantive principles; study the growing body of critical legal scholarship covering the matter; and examine the potential (and limits) of the law. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze the interplay between race and the death penalty; acquire tools to think critically about its legal framework and engage with the role of racialized identities in its use. Utilizing – among other things – case law, statutory interpretation, statistical data, legal scholarship and legislative efforts, the course will undertake the project of grappling with a real-world example of the racialized nature of the death penalty.

Description
This seminar focuses on the growing role of state and federal courts in improving the ability of schools to prepare students for college, the workforce and effective participation as citizens. Students will read court cases, published legal policies regarding education, and proposed legislation related to school reform. The first part of the seminar addresses the trend of increased litigation involving schools, with an emphasis on alternatives to litigation. The second part of the seminar examines the opportunities for lawyers to become personally involved in school reform, particularly in the making of national state and local educational policy. Lawyers as school counsel, school administrators, elected officials, volunteers, experts, and concerned parents all play an important role in improving schools. Students will be expected to write a thoughtful, well-researched legal paper on a contemporary legal problem that schools face. The students' problem-solving skills will be brought to bear on identifying in this paper whether the schools have been presented with real conflicts or perceived conflicts that are based on false choices. Not only is the student expected to carefully describe the legal issues, and apply pertinent legal and scholarly research, this seminar calls on the student to find the right balance between accountability and flexibility, equity and excellence, deference to educators and the court's duty to enforce the laws.

Registration Information

Description
This is a Government course, cross-listed with the Law School.
The 21st century has been hailed the “century of the city”. The figures behind this label are mind boggling, considering that the world’s urban population has increased nearly thirtyfold since the early 1900s. This shift marks an unprecedented transformation of the organization of society, both spatially and geopolitically. This seminar offers an opportunity for students to engage with recent legal and social science scholarship concerning this global trend. Among the issues covered are the constitutional law and politics of city status in unitary and federal countries in the so-called “Global North” and “Global South”; the “right to the city” and its interpretations; self-empowerment attempts by cities (e.g. human rights cities, sanctuary cities, urban citizenship, participatory democracy); cities, city-networks and the transnational order; and the law and politics of the urban-rural divide. Evaluation will be based on participation, two short comment papers, and a final seminar paper.
