Designed to take advantage of special opportunities resulting from visitors to the School of Law or other exceptional occurrences. (This is not a form of independent study.)
The Law of People and Place (SUM 2025)
This place-based learning experience focuses on a particular ecosystem or river system and the myriad natural resource, environmental, governmental, legal, policy, and practical issues embedded in that region. We approach these issues by immersing ourselves in the place and working to understand the ways in which law and policy interact with it. Aside from the course faculty, students will hear from tribal representatives, private conservationists, federal land managers, and other stakeholders involved in management of various places. Themes explored include the myth and reality of public lands; wildlife management across jurisdictions; water law; cooperative management; and the intersection of tribal rights, sovereignty, and interests with federal, state, and private interests—both historical and continuing. For Summer 2025, we are planning to visit the Salmon/Lochsa Rivers region of Idaho, with more details forthcoming.
Environmental Justice Seminar (AUT 2025)
This course will fulfill the Perspectives distributional requirement.
International Merger Control Seminar (WIN 2026)
By one count, over 150 jurisdictions around the world have competition laws that may apply to mergers, acquisitions, and similar transactions. Most, if not all, of these jurisdictions assert the authority to apply these laws extraterritorially. As a result, particular transactions involving multinational companies may often be subject to concurrent investigation and challenge in more than one jurisdiction at a time.
Immigration Policy Seminar (WIN 2026)
Native American Legal Research (WIN 2026)
Focuses on the student’s development of research and analysis skills in Native American legal contexts, including Federal Indian Law and tribal law. Students will learn to incorporate necessary primary and secondary legal sources into their legal analysis of common tribal and Indian law issues.
Post-Conviction Legal Empowerment (WIN-SPR 2026)
Risk and Compliance Seminar (WIN 2026)
This course is an introduction to the theory and practice of corporate risk and compliance. It will focus on the governance, processes, and internal controls that permit an organization to both manage and optimize risk. It will answer: What constitutes an effective compliance program? What is a risk-based approach to risk management? While practical examples will come from the healthcare industry due to my experience at Mayo Clinic and now Amazon Health Services, the class applies to all industries.
