This seminar will emphasize the ways in which culture impacts law relating to children. Specifically, we will examine and critique (1) the different conceptions of the child and childhood that exist today in American law and how each of these is informed by cultural assumptions and shifts, (2) the ways in which our new culture of technology will impact how children are conceived-both created and perceived-in the future, and (3) the ways in which child "abuse" and "neglect" are defined according to regional, majority, and minority-including both immigrant and indigenous-culture. The course will conclude with an in-depth study of the ways in which Native American children's issues have been and are today treated differently in federal law and by the courts-including by state, federal, and tribal courts-because of perceived and recognized cultural differences. Instructor: D. Coleman

Strategies in Employment Discrimination Practice. This seminar applies the legal principles studied in Employment Discrimination Law (Law 232) to a semester-long, simulated practice problem. The goal of the seminar is to reinforce legal concepts studied in the basic course, and to introduce through task-oriented exercises the real-world dimensions of an employment discrimination practice, including decisions about which cases to take, what facts must be gathered, what steps must precede the filing of a lawsuit, and what legal theory or theories should be pursued. Students will engage in interviews, negotiations and strategy sessions, and will prepare various file memos, letters, and an agency complaint. The course is co-taught with an experienced practitioner. Students must either have previously taken, or be concurrently enrolled in, Law 232. Instructor: Bartlett 1 unit

Patents, trademark, copyrights, and trade secrets each connote the ability to reserve to the holder the right to practice the invention, apply the mark, copy the expression, or retain the secret, respectively. However, simple retention of these rights or absolute conveyance of these rights to others may not maximize the holder's value in the property. Greater utility may be achieved by sharing some of the rights, while retaining others. This is the realm of intellectual property licensing. This course will survey key issues related to licensing each form of intellectual property, including the rationale behind the issues and alternative means of approach. The course will then touch on considerations of international licensing, licensing to the U.S. government, antitrust, and the non-negotiated license. Finally, the course will consider open licensing practices as found in open source software and the Creative Commons. Prerequisite: Intellectual Property. Instructor: Webbink
