This course offers a basic overview of the legal framework within which the production, distribution and sale of energy takes place. It is offered as part of the Program in Environmental and Energy Law but is open to all students. After a brief introduction to scientific concepts of energy and the history of energy technology, the course will survey the major sources of energy. The traditional sources have been oil, natural gas and coal converted to consumer products such as electricity and gasoline. Newer sources include nuclear and solar energy. Each source and delivery system has its own network of property rules and contract relationships. National energy policy will be reviewed and the impact of interregional competition on the regulation of energy will be studied, as will constitutional and economic concepts affecting the pricing of energy. Particular emphasis will be placed on energy issues in environmental law. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department

This course addresses the use of social science research in various aspects of both civil and criminal litigation, including (1) establishing legislative facts upon which determinations of law are made by the courts, (2) establishing adjudicative facts at trial and (3) planning litigation. In the first category are topics like the use of empirical studies of small group decision making in interpreting the constitutional right to a jury trial; examples of the second category are the use of consumer surveys in showing trademark violations and the use of psychological studies in assessing the reliability of eyewitness identifications; the third category includes topics like the use of public opinion polls in connection with motions for change of venue on the ground of pretrial publicity. No social science background is presupposed; the course will begin with a brief treatment of social science research methodology. Emphasis will be placed on class participation in the discussion of the reading materials and short written assignments throughout the term; there will be no final examination. The course may be taken as either a course or a seminar. Students who elect to enroll for seminar credit will also be expected to write an appropriate term paper. Enrollment limited to 15 students. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department

In 1805 there lived a total of approximately 5.3 million people in the United States-far fewer than the 6 million people who today live in Massachusetts or any of 15 other States of the Union. In 1828 James Fennimore Cooper an American born commentator on American life, took note of the burgeoning population growth and projected that in one hundred years America's population might reach near or quite 100 million Continues Cooper the first impression that strikes the mind is the impossibility that 100 million people should consent to live quietly under the same government. Today's population of course is not only much larger but is far more diverse than Cooper imagined. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
