LAW B 599 Special Topics

Credits: 1-12, Max 12

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 (SU25)

Sport Law Fundamentals (AU25) Exploration of key areas of substantive law applied in the context of the sports industry - professional sports leagues, collegiate sport, and elite international sport. Examines legal relationships among athletes, teams, leagues, governing bodies, sports facilities, sponsors, broadcasters, and fans. In these contexts we'll apply contract, antitrust, labor, intellectual property, and other federal law. We will also look at financial and business structures that define the sports industry. Class discussions and exercises supplemented by industry guest speakers.

Current Events and the Law (AU25) This course will examine the legal implications of emerging newsworthy developments, with a particular focus on the national government. There will be no final exam. Instead, students must prepare for each class by completing an assignment announced at least 48 hours before the class; actively listen and participate in class discussions; and submit written responses when assigned. The class is graded on a CR/NC basis.

Digital Health Innovation & Policy Seminar (WI-SP26)

Immigration Policy Seminar (WI26)

Indigenous Legal Research (WI26) 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 (WI-SP26) Legal Empowerment is a global access-to-justice strategy wherein impacted individuals know, claim and shape their rights, with support. Partnering with a statewide non-profit of lawyers and formerly incarcerated navigators, students will learn relevant criminal law, procedures and skills for supporting post-conviction relief, including use of technology, drafting/presenting plain-language legal content, and advocacy with system-actors. CR/NC.

Risk and Compliance Seminar (WI26) Introduction to theory and practice of corporate risk and compliance. 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.

Performance Tests (SP26) This course will teach the strategies and skills required to answer a performance test, a component on both the Uniform Bar Exam and the California Bar Exam. Students taking the NextGen Bar Exam should enroll in E578 instead.
