Despite recent efforts by a few states and localities to protect gay men and lesbians from discrimination or to recognize domestic partner relationships, society's attitude toward homosexuality continues to be ambivalent. This is particularly true in the areas of marriage and childrearing, but it is also true in a number of states where adult consensual same-sex relations are still illegal, where not protection is provided against public or private employment discrimination, or where openly gay teachers are restricted from teaching in the classroom. This seminar will establish a theoretical framework for approaching lesbian and gay issues by critically looking at various conceptions of homosexuality and society's justification for affecting behavior. It will then apply this understanding to the interaction between gays and the criminal justice system; discrimination in public and private employment; First Amendment issues posed by gay students and teachers in public schools and universities; legal problems faced in same-sex relationships; and child custody and visitation rights, as well as the ability to become foster and adoptive parents. While not limiting itself solely to questions of privacy, the seminar will also challenge the 1986 Supreme Court decision in Bowers V. Hardwick and argue that the decision should now be overruled. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Seminar Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department

This seminar will examine the constitutional, common law, and statutory issues arising in labor relations and collective bargaining between governmental units and public employees and their unions. Particular emphasis will be placed on the essential differences between labor relations and collective bargaining in government and that same process in the private sector. Seminar participants will be expected to write a major research paper on those differences, exploring whether they are substantial enough to warrant the adoption of private sector labor law concepts, and if so, to what extent. 2. 000 Credit Hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department

Many resource-use issues transcend national boundaries. Some are reorganized as common issues such as global warming and ozone depletion and others are discrete trans-boundary problems such as hazardous materials spills in international waterways. Still other problems such as rain forest depletion are both local and global problems. The seminar explores the international dimensions of environmentalism. Topics include: existing efforts of the international community to define a common set of environmental standards by which individual acts of sovereign nations can be judged, international law principles of trans-boundary liability , international environmental agreements, bilateral environmental agreements and indirect ways to induce individual nations to act in an environmentally responsible manner. 2. 000 Credit Hours 2. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Seminar Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
