Other laws of long standing present issues of applicability or adaptability to the cyber realm.

  • LAW 838 - Binary Economics & Property Rights Seminar

    3 credit(s) Irregularly
    One of the most important duties of lawyers is to help people identify and secure their essential rights and responsibilities. Serving clients effectively requires that lawyers ask the right questions. When addressing economic rights, here are nine important questions: (1) Why does wealth tend to concentrate in market economies even in times of great prosperity? (2) Why does the great promise of the industrial revolution (abundance and leisure) remain unfulfilled for most people? (3) Why does every generation of students graduate deeper in debt? (4) What is behind the adage, it takes money to make money? (5) How can more economic opportunity become more broadly distributed? (6) What are the growth and distributive consequences of the fact that most capital is acquired with the earnings of capital? (7) Is there a practical, efficient way to enable all people to acquire capital with the earnings of capital, without taking anything from existing owners? (8) What is the relationship between the distribution of capital ownership and the functioning of a democracy? (9) What role can lawyers play in pursuing these and related questions to better serve their clients, themselves, and society? This seminar will explore these and related questions. The seminar will not require an above average mathematical aptitude or prior exposure to economics, but rather only an open mind and a willingness to approach economic issues from a foundation grounded in professional responsibility. Students will read assigned material, do additional reading of their own choosing, make an in-class presentation (optional), and write a paper that will satisfy the writing requirement for graduation.

Academic discussions are complemented by lectures from sitting judges, practicing lawyers, and working journalists.

  • LAW 882 - Judicial Decision Making

    3 credit(s) Irregularly
    To understand what the law actually is in practice, and to understand how it evolves over time, it is necessary to understand how judges decide cases. Understanding judicial decision-making also helps policy-makers develop beneficial policies regarding the courts, including selecting judges who may or may not be influenced by politics or ideology, and developing educational opportunities for judges. Insight into the “judicial mind” also helps attorneys craft persuasive arguments. Thus, in this seminar we survey the legal, political science, and empirical literature on how judges make decisions. Topics to be studied, both from a theoretical and practical perspective, include: theories of judicial decision-making; judicial election and appointment; constraints under which judges operate; the impact of court structure on the decision-making process; judicial writing; clerks’ role in the decision-making process; the relationship between the media and the courts; judicial education; and the influence of public perceptions of the court. Class attendance and participation are required. Brief weekly responses and a final research paper are required; the paper will satisfy the College of Law Writing Requirement. The seminar complements other courses at the College of Law (e.g., LCR III: Judicial Writing or Law, Politics, and the Media), as well as opportunities at the Maxwell School and with the Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics, and the Media.

    International criminal law is a new discipline within the legal profession. Over the past 12 years, the discipline has developed at an exponential rate. Cutting edge rulings and decisions are setting the cornerstones in international criminal law for years to come. It is a rare opportunity for teachers, students, practitioners, and policy makers to be present at the beginnings of a new area of the law. Rarer still is the opportunity for students to be able to take a seminar from one of the senior international practitioners in the field, using his work as the basis for this seminar. Drawing upon unique experiences in West Africa, a great deal of the new ideas and fresh thinking began with our work as the Chief Prosecutor of the international war crimes tribunal in Sierra Leone, called the Special Court for Sierra Leone. The seminar will use, as a case study, the entire creative process in West Africa of establishing the Office of the Prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone; from planning, preparation, and executing the many tasks necessary to prosecute war criminals in a forgotten and tragic land. Using real world and contemporary cases, vignettes, and scenarios this 2 credit hour seminar will give students a rare opportunity, to study and do research with the practitioner who created the entire prosecutorial plan to prosecute those who bore the greatest responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity that resulted in the murder, rape, maiming, and mutilation of over 1.2 million human beings.
  
  • LAW 901 - Washington Lawyer Externship Seminar

    1-2 credit(s)
    Client problems brought to a good D.C. attorney are almost always solved through a combination of legislative pressure, executive branch pressure, and perhaps ultimately litigation against either another party and/or an agency of the executive branch. Very often the best solutions to these problems are forged behind the scenes, the opposite of the way lawyers in other jurisdictions often serve their clients¿ interests. This seminar will feature influential and successful D.C. attorneys ¿ distinguished guest lecturers ¿ to discuss one or more client problems brought to them and how they went about a solution. In preparation for each seminar, a packet of reading assignments will be uploaded. Each week, we will go through a real case study problem set that the distinguished guest lecturer encountered in his or her practice, whether in government, a nonprofit, in-house at a corporation or a law firm. Once we establish the fact pattern, we will discuss the various options for solving the legal problem. Finally, we will hear from the distinguished guest lecturer how he or she actually went about attacking the legal problem with the outcome if known. This will take up the first hour of the seminar. Once the distinguished guest lecturer departs, we will hear from each student participant about projects he or she has been working on that week, along with any issues that may have arisen. Other students are encouraged to comment.

  • LAW 923 - Disability Rights Clinic

    6 credit(s) Every semester
    The Disability Rights Clinic is dedicated to providing representation to individuals and groups in our community who are unable to secure representation elsewhere. One reason DRC clients are unable to find other lawyers to represent them is due to their lack of financial resources. In our community, as elsewhere, the vast majority of lawyers provide legal assistance only to those who can afford to pay for their services. And in recent years, federal funding, the major source of funding for legal services for people with low or no incomes, has been reduced dramatically. A second reason DRC clients are unable to find lawyers elsewhere relates to the types of cases they may have which may involve controversial issues or conflicts of interest for other lawyers. DRC student attorneys practice in federal and state courts, and before administrative agencies in a broad range of civil rights matters, including race, gender, age and disability discrimination, sexual harassment, prisoners rights, immigration, accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and employment matters.
