LAW 707 - Urban Issues Symposium

Institution:

Saint Louis University-Main Campus

Subject:

Law

Description:

The Housing Issues Symposium is an interdisciplinary program that offers opportunities for law students to work with graduate students in the schools of business, public policy, and social service at Saint Louis University, and architectural and social work students from Washington University. Students and faculty from these schools work in teams to respond to hypothetical and live requests for proposals (RFP's) for housing and neighborhood development projects. Each student team prepares a collaborative paper responding to an RFP. In addition, students make formal oral presentations of their proposals in a session that is open to the public. Faculty members from the participating disciplines conduct regular two-hour class sessions on multi-disciplinary aspects of housing and neighborhood development, such as low income housing tax credit financing, neighborhood collaborative planning and asset building, use of design principles to help gain community acceptance, and negotiation of public-private partnership agreements. Student teams, with at least one member from each participating discipline, meet regularly outside of class to discuss and prepare their team's response to the RFP they have chosen. The grade for this course is not calculated in the G.P.A.
