The goal of the course will be to introduce students to the real-life circumstances of homeless people in the Miami Valley and to explore the social, economic, cultural and legal conditions that lead to homelessness. Students will spend time in class discussing assigned materials that deal with the ways in which our legal system has (and has not) responded to the symptoms and causes of homelessness. They will also spend time in the community gaining a first hand account of why people become homeless and how homeless people try to cope with the conditions that face them on the streets. Students will also be introduced to the local support systems ¿ both official and unofficial ¿ that exist in the community to deal with the issues of outreach, prevention, crisis management, daily care and treatment, and re-housing. This may include opportunities to visit law enforcement agencies, the courts, daytime and overnight shelters, and other relevant social service organizations. After engaging in field activities, students will reconvene in a classroom setting to discuss their experiences. Credit Type C.

The area of law where theory and reality meet on a daily basis with the intersection having the most profound consequences our society permits, is the law, policies, and implementation of the criminal sanction. This all-too-brief Intra-Session Course will review the history and social purposes of a community¿s imposition of sanctions for actions or nonactions which it deems a crime. Traditional law school courses focus on the ¿how¿ of the criminal sanction; that is, for example, constitutional issues of the death penalty or procedural safeguards of the pre and post adjudication process. Through a combination of lectures, readings, interactive panel discussions, and visits to a prison, a community-based correctional facility, and a drug treatment program, the students will better understand: What are sanctions? Why do they exist? Who is impacted by them? Are they accomplishing their goals and, if not, what can be done? Credit type C.

Students will learn how to analyze and resolve problems in factual contexts, often involving Member State laws and conduct, and implicating European rights and federal principles. Credit Type A.

Human Trafficking is an international as well as a national problem. In this course, we will look at the United Nations protocol asking member states to address the problem with national legislation. We will then examine the United States' response to this protocol, the Trafficking Victims' Protection Act, and examine the reasons that this U.S. legislation has not been as successful as was hoped. This topic will provide an opportunity for students to: be introduced to international human rights law; carefully read and consider an international treaty to which the United States is a party; carefully read and apply a complex U.S. statute drafted in response to the United States obligations under that treaty; critique that same statute given the limited results of the legislation; consider alternative means for addressing a national and international problem; apply what they have learned to a hypothetical case.
