This course will cover advanced topics in corporate law and ethics. The topics covered will be of interest to the student who may intend to concentrate his or her practice in corporate matters, whether as in-house counsel, as government attorney or regulator, in corporate litigation, or in transactional work. This course will focus upon a particular subset of corporate law and ethical problems. It will explore those ethical problems which can give rise to legal liability for the corporation, its managers, and its directors. Such liability can arise through private suits for breach of fiduciary duty, public and private suits for violation of Federal and State securities laws, or even criminal actions brought by Federal and State governments. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of corporate counsel, litigation attorneys, and others similarly situated in handling the ethical problems that can result in civil or criminal liability. Another major emphasis of the course will be consideration of the corporate scandals of the last several decades and the concerns they have created. The course will also consider whether current legislation, e.g., the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and common law doctrines such as the fiduciary duties imposed upon corporate officers and directors, adequately address the problems those scandals have revealed. The course will be presented in a problem-oriented format. Students will be expected to analyze and resolve legal issues presented to them, individually and in groups. Students will also be expected to debate topics, particularly relating to corporate ethics situations that can create legal liability. Credit Type C.

This course explores the following three questions: 1) What determines motherhood (in the context of surrogate motherhood)?; 2) Do children have a right to know who their parents are (in the context of adoptions and/or sperm and egg donations)? 3) Do spouses who contribute eggs/sperm to create embryos later have the right to later prevent themselves from becoming parents? For each question we will discuss certain cases that have offered answers to these questions, develop and discuss the legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding these questions, and consider alternate legal solutions to these dilemmas as well as alternate ways of implementing these solutions. Many issues arise in discussing these questions that have broader application: right to privacy, limitations on rights to contract, biological v. intent based definitions of parenthood, gender difference and commodification anxiety. These issues will be discussed in the context of the three questions that frame the course. Credit Type C.
