This course is a study of the limited
statutory monopoly granted to the creators of
"original works of authorship" under the federal
law of copyright. The Copyright Act of 1976, as
amended, is the core of the course material. The
course begins by examining the requirements for
copyright protection and then moves on to explore
the kinds of works that qualify for copyright

copyright owners. The balance between the limited
monopoly privileges of copyright owners and the
rights guaranteed to the users of copyrighted
materials, through such mechanisms as the
idea/expression dichotomy, compulsory licenses,
and the "fair use" doctrine, are examined. The
formalities of registration and notice are also
studied, along with copyright duration, ownership,
assignment and licensing. The controversies
surrounding application of copyright law to new
technologies, including computer software and the
internet, is a theme that runs throughout the
course.

The class examines legal mandates for protection
and management of biological diversity. Beginning
with a brief overview of the scientific aspects of
species, ecosystems, and genetic resources, the
course includes consideration of interplay between
science and law throughout its survey of laws
related to wildlife. Substantively, the class
analyzes the property and constitutional
underpinnings of state and federal wildlife laws,
looks at examples and structures of state
regulation of wildlife, and examines the special
case of American Indians' rights to, and control
over, wildlife resources. The course also focuses
on several federal statutory schemes, including
the Lacey Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act,
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and laws and policies
aimed at controlling invasive species. The course
considers federal management of wildlife habitat
under statutes such as the National Forest
Management Act and National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act, and briefly covers international
efforts to protect biodiversity. Due to the
statute's broad influence on the field, the class
devotes particular attention to the federal

This seminar will explore the legal and ethical
tensions between the responsibility of governments
(federal, state, local) to promote and protect the
health of the public and their obligation to
ensure individual rights. Typical public health
law areas will be analyzed, such as food and drug
safety, disease and injury prevention (clean
needle exchanges, obesity and nutrition,
regulation of tobacco and alcohol), required
immunizations, mandatory testing and treatment,
mandatory reporting/surveillance of injury and
disease, and "social distancing" (isolation and
quarantine). Constitutional and statutory powers,
the administrative processes/mechanisms for
carrying out these powers, as well as the
regulatory origins of public health policy will be
examined.

Description: This course analyzes the legal regulation of the American political system. The class will concentrate on two issues: first, the equal protection concept of "One Person, One Vote" within the context of partisan and racial gerrymandering, as well as the Voting Rights Act; second, federal campaign finance regulation. Additional topics will include the constitutional rights of political parties and the law relating to ballot propositions. The class is both descriptive, in that we will discuss current legislation and case law, as well as normative, in that we also will discuss what the law in these areas should be. The class will have an interdisciplinary flavor, as it will include upper-class political science students.

This class will cover the laws and
policies designed to promote renewable energy
development. The course will review the existing
renewable energy technologies and the practical
limitations involved in their development, siting,
and integration into the U.S. electricity grid.
The course will also explore the dominant
renewable energy laws, including subsidies,
renewable portfolio standards, PURPA, and net
metering. The course will consider how these laws
operate within the existing electricity regulatory
system and examine recent efforts to reform
utility regulation. Finally, the course will
explore transmission regulation for renewable
resources and the legal and policy framework for
electricity storage. The class will focus on
renewable energy development in the United States,
but will also provide some comparative examples of
renewable energy policies used in other countries.

Although difficult to define precisely, the concept of sustainability describes a way of meeting today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to likewise meet their requirements. In addition to its environmental aspects, sustainability also often encompasses ideas of equity and inclusiveness. Actors in both the private and public sectors have increasingly moved toward practicing and even requiring more sustainable ways of living, governing, and doing business. Lawyers serve clients who incorporate concepts of sustainability into their organizational goals, and are themselves, considering ways to make their practices more sustainable. This course will examine - and help to define - how concepts of sustainability are influencing and influenced by the law and legal practice. Substantive topics addressed in the class will include green labeling and marketing; sustainable energy development; sustainable building and land-use practices; supply-chain sustainability requirements; socially responsible investing;, triple-bottom line accounting and corporate reporting requirements; market-based environmental regulation; market-based natural resource protections; and sustainable development. Mirroring developments in the field, the class will have an interdisciplinary focus. Guest speakers drawn from practicing attorneys, experts, and members of the business community will provide course participants with a real-world perspective on current developments in the field. The course is a three credit course, and is, scheduled to meet in a single three-hour block. Accordingly, since there are a limited number of class sessions students should plan to attend and participate in all of them. Students may elect to use their written projects to satisfy the WIE writing requirement, or may complete a Capstone paper with permission of the professor.
