Policing is bounded by U.S. constitutional law but also heavily determined by state and local statutes and regulations. As such, policing traditionally engages legal questions such as search, seizure, interrogation, and identification. At the same time, emerging issues for contemporary police include policing a pandemic, historical injustice in policing, international and domestic terrorism, and gun violence on college campuses and universities.\u202fThis course addresses many topics that have impacted police and communities since the first wave of protests in 2014\u20132015 through the murder of George Floyd through the lens of 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment issues. This course engages students in a deeper understanding of 21st century policing, drawing on contemporary developments in law and policy grounded in the realities of the experiences of police and communities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 962 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Lowe<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-801\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 801<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Administrative Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 801<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAdministrative Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will examine the nature and functions of federal administrative agencies and the legal controls on agency action. Agency action is situated and examined in its political and legal contexts. Topics include the status of administrative agencies in the constitutional framework of separation of powers including the non-delegation doctrine, the President's appointment and removal powers in light of the unitary executive, the constitutionality of the legislative and line-item vetoes, the constitutionality of agency adjudication, and the constitutional (and political) status of independent agencies; agency rulemaking and adjudication including the choice of procedural model and the procedural requirements of the rulemaking model; and the availability, timing and scope of judicial review of agency action including standing to seek judicial review and exceptions to the availability of judicial review. The course also examines different methods of policy analysis such as regulatory impact analysis and cost-benefit analysis. Additional topics include discriminatory enforcement, regulatory delay, judicial imposition of procedural constraints on agencies, the implication of private rights of action from regulatory statutes and the availability citizens' suits. Some attention may be paid to differences between state and federal separation of powers doctrines. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 801 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:30 am<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jack-m-beermann\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jack M.

This is simulation course and the emphasis is on performance and feedback in order to integrate legal evidence theory with the professional skills students need to advocate for their future clients. After evidence related exercises, students will engage in self-critique and will also receive feedback from fellow classmates and the instructor. The instructor will utilize the student exercises to teach the law of evidence at a level beyond the introductory evidence course and advocacy skills. Class discussion and exercises will provide opportunities to improve trial and advocacy skills, recognize and address ethical issues, and consider broad societal questions. Exercises may include the following: a motion in limine concerning prior bad acts evidence, a voir dire on an issue of rape shield, or a Daubert hearing concerning expert testimony on causation in a toxic tort case. PREREQUISITE: Evidence.

Taught by the Director of the BU Law AI Program, this seminar will teach you to work with generative AI as an active collaborator that can deepen your creativity, sharpen your reasoning, and expand your judgment on complex legal problems. \nThroughout the term, you will develop disciplined and reproducible methods for AI-enhanced legal work: decomposing novel problems into analyzable components, stress-testing arguments, running counterfactual and scenario analyses, and using AI to expose gaps or weaknesses that traditional workflows might overlook. You\u2019ll gain a working understanding of large language models\u2014their mechanisms, pattern-recognition strengths, and characteristic failure modes of hallucination, bias, and overconfidence\u2014so you can exercise professional judgment about when AI output deserves acceptance, refinement, or rejection. \nBetween class sessions, you\u2019ll experiment with AI across legal use cases that demand creative and strategic thinking, then bring those explorations back to the seminar for collaborative critique. Together, students will compare approaches, analyze results, and co-build a shared playbook for high-level, AI-augmented lawyering. The course culminates in a \u201cBefore and After AI\u201d capstone paper applying the cognitive partnership model to a hypothetical problem in litigation, regulatory advocacy, or transactional practice. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: Students may partially satisfy the requirement with a 3,000-word research paper. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

The research projects will be designed to highlight major legal research tools in both online and print formats. The projects will feature tasks such locating court documents, doing a legislative history, finding agency regulations and guidance, doing state specific research with practice series, researching an unfamiliar area of the law using secondary sources, as well as learning to use Lexis\/Nexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg Law in a cost effective manner. Most classes will have an assignment and some will be longer projects such as a client letter, a research memo for a supervisor and all will include a research log. There will be an exam where the students must do several short research assignments with a research log. The objective of the class is for students to become comfortable completing simple and complex research in a work setting.

Students will prepare a variety of practice related documents based on a single fact pattern. Some legal research will be necessary, but the emphasis will be on writing, not on research. Students will also have the opportunity to edit other students' papers, with the goal of improving their own writing skills. Actors will perform a scenario for the class, from which students will extract the pertinent facts. From this fact pattern, students will draft an inter office memo, a letter or memo to a non lawyer client, and a trial or appellate brief. Students will also engage in simulated client interviewing and counseling sessions, as well as a simulated meeting with a supervisor. Students will be graded on the basis of their written work, editing work on their classmate's papers and on their classroom performance. There will be no final exam.

The course will examine the impact of racism, casteism and economic discrimination on housing law and the permitting, financing and taxation of housing by reviewing the relevant decisional law, local, state and federal regulations and statutes and housing policy reports and articles. The affordable housing crisis will be examined from the perspectives of the individuals who need affordable housing, the individuals who oppose affordable housing being built near them, the developers who design and build housing, the local officials who perform the permitting and the state and federal officials who create and enforce the regulatory, statutory and tax schemes that mold how affordable housing is created. A 15-20 page term paper will be required that examines one or more aspects of affordable housing law, with a variety of potential topics to be offered at the outset of the course.

Students will learn how to evaluate and select AI tools for legal practice while identifying and navigating potential ethical traps\u2014including client confidentiality, AI \"hallucinations,\" and the duty of proper supervision. Through hands-on exercises, students will practice using AI to facilitate common litigation workflows, such as case evaluation, legal research, drafting, document review, discovery, deposition preparation, trial preparation, and appeals. While the course will primarily utilize dedicated legal AI platforms (e.g., Lexis+ AI, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, and Harvey), the techniques learned will transfer to other AI tools, including general-purpose models like Google's Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Anthropic's Claude. There will be a mid-semester exam in addition to assignments and a presentation.

This course will explore the real-time transformative impact of AI on the healthcare industry. Taking a holistic approach, we will examine how AI is disrupting long established practices in healthcare, and what attorneys need to consider as they advise clients across the healthcare continuum, including hospitals, insurers, and health-tech companies.  The course will:\n(1)\tProvide an introductory overview of significant AI concepts including machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI.\n(2)\tTrack the tension between state and federal AI regulations; especially as they overlay on the established healthcare regulatory framework.\n(3)\tAnalyze the evolution of specific healthcare topics e.g., scope of practice, privacy, and Software as a Medical Device in the context of rapidly advancing AI technology.\n(4)\tDiscuss ethical and policy implications of the new technology and how it can improve or exacerbate current health disparities, including patient outcomes and patient safety.\n(5)\tExamine topics that often come up in practice including governance and contracting issues such as liability, data use, and intellectual property rights.\nParticipants will be evaluated on class participation and assignments. There will be a final exam.  PRE\/COREQUISITES: Participants should have some familiarity with healthcare law, through a previous course, a concurrent course, or work experience. RESTRICTION: Students may not enroll in this course and AI in the Professions (JD795).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 747 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Snyder<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-795\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 795<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">AI in the Professions<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 795<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAI in the Professions\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will focus on the healthcare professions and the legal profession primarily, and explore how the rise of artificial intelligence is challenging traditional modes of licensing, regulation, and liability.

The class will also consider the diverse use cases for alternative entities and the intersection of alternative entity law with securities law, bankruptcy law, and other sometimes inconsistent statutory regimes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 860 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>5:55 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/vivian-etter\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Vivian Etter<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-881\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 881<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Alternative Dispute Resolution<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 881<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAlternative Dispute Resolution\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The goal of this course is to improve students' ability to resolve disputes and to productively engage in conflict. In this highly interactive class, students will examine a variety of dispute resolution processes, other than traditional court adjudication, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, dispute system design and restorative justice. Over the course of the semester, students will engage in a series of exercises (i.e., role-plays) through which they can develop and hone their skills and approaches to dispute resolution. Discussion and short lectures will accompany the exercises, as appropriate. There will be short written assignments as well as a longer paper due at the end of the semester. No final exam. NOTE: This course counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This class will not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. RESTRICTION: Students may not enroll in both Alternative Dispute Resolution and Negotiation (JD921).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 881 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/mark-bamford\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Mark Bamford<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-920\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 920<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">American Indian Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 920<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerican Indian Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This seminar will explore the Constitutional and statutory law related to Native Americans, Indian reservations, and tribal governments.

if any - do animals truly have? How does the law define their worth, their suffering, or their right to exist free from harm? Introduction to Animal Law invites students into a complex and rapidly evolving field at the intersection of legal theory, ethics, and our relationship with non-human animals. \n\nWe begin by exploring foundational questions: What is the legal status of animals? Are they property, persons, or something in between? From there, we'll examine the legal frameworks that govern human-animal interactions across a wide range of contexts - animals as victims of abuse, as food, as companions, as research subjects, and even as consumers of antibiotics. Along the way, we'll consider the role of animals in entertainment, agriculture, and wildlife policy, highlighting both the explicit and hidden ways the law shapes their lives - and ours. \n\nThough the course centers on U.S. Law, it will include comparative and international perspectives to explore how different societies conceptualize animal rights and welfare. A central inquiry will be the motivations behind human efforts to protect animals: Are these rooted in compassion, utility, justice - or something more complex? We will also tackle one of the most pressing legal dilemmas in the field: who was the right to speak for animals, and under what circumstances can humans represent them in legal proceedings? \n\nThe course is open to all students - no prior legal experience required. Students will be expected to engage critically with readings and contribute thoughtfully to discussions. Rich in legal debate and ethical complexity, animal law challenges us to rethink our most basic assumptions about rights, representation, and justice across species lines.\nNOTE: There will be a midterm exam and a final (3,000 word) research paper.

The high cost of prescription drugs is one of the biggest public policy challenges of our time and is now an issue squarely in the cross hairs of federal and state antitrust enforcers. The cases that result feature the application of traditional antitrust principles, formed over the last century, to a unique industry with atypical economics, complex regulatory schemes, and extensive enforcement of patent rights. At every turn, courts and regulators must balance the need to promote price-reducing competition with the need to maintain incentives for massive private R&D investment. This seminar will serve as an introduction to those cases. It will focus on the most common antitrust matters that arise from the competition between branded and generic drugs. It will also survey other hot topics at the antitrust-healthcare intersection more broadly, such as hospital and health system mergers. The course will also serve to develop practical lawyering skills--including how to critically analyze precedent, how to frame and to communicate advice to clients when legal standards are uncertain, and how lawyers shape the law. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement either partially or in full. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

Beginning with the Sherman Act of 1890, the antitrust statutes condemn a variety of acts -- from mergers to agreements among competitors to monopolists' exclusionary business practices -- that restrain trade or contribute to monopoly power. The statutes, however, are written in general terms, leaving it to the courts to draw the line between lawful competition and unlawful restraints of trade or monopolization. Early on, the Supreme Court established that the law reaches only \"unreasonable\" restraints, which only begs the question of how to draw the line between \"reasonable\" competition and \"unreasonable\" interference with competitive markets. Over the course of the twentieth century, the courts struggled to fix this line; as the century closed, they had settled on an economically-oriented normative framework that largely deferred to firm decisions and doubted the value of government intervention in markets. In recent years, however, a cacophony of voices -- ranging from activists to scholars to politicians of all stripes -- has begun to call that framework into question and to call for renewed enforcement of antitrust laws. This course will explore the principal statutes and common law that have shaped antitrust law over the past century-and-a-quarter since Congress passed the Sherman Act. We will also examine the standards and procedures that the antitrust agencies use to evaluate mergers and to challenge conduct as anticompetitive. As we critically evaluate the case law, we will also reflect on current calls for reform. While we will engage rigorously with economics, all of the economic principles necessary to understand the case law and debates will be explained in the course; formal training in economics is not a requirement. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 838 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:30 am<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/keith-n-hylton\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Keith N.

This course examines the emerging law, regulation, and policy of AI while preparing students to work effectively with the technologies that are already transforming legal practice. Students will study how existing legal doctrines apply to AI systems and how those doctrines may evolve as AI increasingly influences decision-making in business, government, medicine, consumer markets, and everyday life. Topics include liability, privacy, intellectual property, consumer protection, fairness, bias and discrimination, explainability, and AI governance.\nThe course is also a practical introduction to AI-assisted lawyering. Students will develop a working understanding of the concepts and terminology needed to engage confidently with contemporary AI systems and large language models; no technical background is required. Through concrete legal use cases, students will explore how legal AI tools and LLMs can enhance analysis, problem-solving, and professional judgment, while also confronting their limitations and risks, including hallucinations, bias, opacity, overreliance, and professional responsibility concerns. Use of generative AI is integral to the course. The course is grounded in the view that the next generation of lawyers will practice co-intelligence: a disciplined partnership between human judgment and artificial intelligence in which the combined output exceeds what either could achieve alone.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 794 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:25 am<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/timothy-duncan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Timothy Duncan<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-BK-925\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW BK 925<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Banking Structure and Regulation<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW BK 925<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBanking Structure and Regulation\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course provides a practically oriented introduction to the organization, ownership structures, powers, and regulation of State and Federally chartered banks, savings institutions, and holding companies.

Topics addressed include: the automatic stay, the use and protection of collateral during the pendency of a bankruptcy case, the avoidance of pre- bankruptcy transfers as preferences and fraudulent transfers, the treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases, debtor-in- possession financing, asset sales and the negotiation and confirmation of a plan of reorganization that is binding on all creditors. Finally, the course will discuss recent !' bankruptcy reform!' legislation, which affects both corporate and consumer bankruptcies. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online (OL) section of any Banking course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 933 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/francis-c-morrissey\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Francis C.

We begin with creditors' collection rights under state law and then turn to consumer bankruptcy under Chapters 7 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. Topics include the bankruptcy estate, the automatic stay, exemptions, the treatment of secured and unsecured debt, the means test, repayment plans, and discharge. We then examine business bankruptcy, focusing on the legal requirements for reorganization plans under Chapter 11, debtor-in-possession financing, avoidance actions, preferences, fraudulent transfers, executory contracts, plan confirmation, cramdown of secured and unsecured creditors, and \u00a7 363 asset sales. Throughout, the course considers the policy goals of bankruptcy and strategic issues in bankruptcy practice, while also requiring students to apply basic corporate finance concepts through assigned problem sets.\nRecommended Courses: Corporations, Secured Transactions<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 787 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/elizabeth-king\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Elizabeth King<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-608\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 608<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Bar Exam Skills<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 608<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBar Exam Skills\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Students in this course will learn and practice a specific set of skills and test-taking strategies with the goal of enhancing a student's ability to prepare for the July bar exam. It will introduce students to the content of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) and its three forms of questions, multiple choice, essay and performance test. The subject matter will be drawn from some of the most highly tested topics on the UBE, including criminal law, constitutional law and torts. The materials for this course are provided by Themis Bar Review. This course is for students who want an early start on their bar exam preparation or are particularly concerned about not passing the bar exam. This course is not a replacement for a commercial bar review program. The course consists of weekly in-person classes, assignments outside of class and a final exam. Course enrollment is limited to two sections, 25 students per section. Prerequisites: This class is restricted to graduating third-year JD students.

Other topics include the characteristics of financial instruments (such as Treasury securities, corporate stocks and bonds, and secondary market mortgage-backed securities), how they are priced in the market, the factors determining the level and shape of the Treasury yield curve, and the relationship between commercial banking and the growth of the over-the-counter derivatives market. Course grades will be based on midterm and final examinations, and on written assignments. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online (OL) section of any Banking course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 983 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Carroll<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 983 OL,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Carroll<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-976\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 976<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Civil Litigation & Access to Justice Prgm: Appellate Clinic<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">6 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 976<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCivil Litigation & Access to Justice Prgm: Appellate Clinic\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">6 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">THIS CLASS IS RESTRICTED to students who have taken the Appellate Clinic fall course. In the spring, Appellate Clinic students continue to represent their clients who are individuals and entities otherwise unlikely to obtain quality representation including civil-rights plaintiffs, employees, consumers, tenants, immigrants, and criminal defendants. The clinic occasionally represent amici as well. As in the fall, students collaborate on brief writing and oral argument projects with a team comprised of other clinic students and the clinic\u2019s director. The clinic\u2019s director prepares students for their cases through weekly team supervision meetings, individual meetings, case rounds, moots, and workshops as appropriate. The spring seminar builds on the work students have done in the fall to learn the mechanics of written and oral appellate advocacy and the substantive areas of law the clinic is currently litigating. That means that typically the spring seminar will focus on reply briefs, oral argument prep, petitions for en banc relief, supreme court practice, and other critical appellate litigation skills. PRE\/CO-REQUISITES:  All first-year courses and the Appellate Clinic Fall course.

Students will not only study methods of effective client counseling; they will practice client counseling skills by participating in a variety of hands-on activities, including conducting mock interviews, role plays, and case conferences.

The process is followed from the initial identification of a lending opportunity to pre-commitment correspondence and commitment letters, through to the key documents required at closing. The major aspects of a loan agreement, including definitional provisions, representations and warranties, lending provisions, pricing, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of defaults are studied in detail in an effort to ensure that students understand the mechanics of a commercial loan agreement. Security interests in real estate and personal property are addressed. Loan syndications and the loan markets are examined. Issues relating to guaranties and subordination agreements are considered. Overviews of Chapter 11 bankruptcy and lender liability are provided. A lecture and discussion format is employed. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online (OL) section of any Banking course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 991 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/sandra-vrejan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Sandra Vrejan<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 991 OL,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/sandra-vrejan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Sandra Vrejan<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-TX-957\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW TX 957<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">COMPARATIVE INCOME TAX<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW TX 957<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCOMPARATIVE INCOME TAX\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course considers different solutions adopted by nine industrialized countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States) to common problems in income tax design. It responds to the need for a broader understanding of the way that tax matters are handled in different countries as business transactions become increasingly global. The course presents a policy-focused overview of variant tax treatments in individual, business (corporate and partnership) and cross-border transactions. The intent is not to develop an expertise in any one, or any group of tax systems, but rather to provide a comparative knowledge base upon which a further, in-depth inquiry can be based. Course Structure: This course follows an assigned text. After the opening class the course is structured in three equal (four-class) segments on (1) Individual, (2) Business and (3) International tax topics. An effort will be made when appropriate to update the materials in the text, allowing us to discuss some current problems. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online section of any tax courses without receiving prior approval from the Assistant Dean for Graduate, International, and Online programs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Online section not open to JD students.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW TX 957 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/richard-t-ainsworth-2\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Richard Thompson Ainsworth<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW TX 957 OL,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>ARR<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/richard-t-ainsworth-2\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Richard Thompson Ainsworth<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-915\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 915<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Comparative Law and China<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 915<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tComparative Law and China\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This seminar offers an overview of the legal system of the People\u2019s Republic of China.

VAT. Students should expect to acquire a good grounding in the major legal instruments of the community (regulations, directions and decisions) which have binding effect on the member states as well as the recommendations and opinions which do not. Case law will be considered primarily from the leading decisions of the European Court Justice, although an occasional decision or two from domestic courts will be included. Major developments in the E.U. VAT are expected to be covered, including: (1) the adoption of the \"reverse charge\" mechanism as a response to widespread carousel fraud, (2) the inclusion of a transfer pricing regime under Rationalization Directive, and (3) proposals for major changes in the place of supply rules in services and intangibles. There are no pre-requisites for this course.

In April of 2018, Massachusetts joined 44 states and the federal government in providing a statutory mechanism by which terminally ill and\/or permanently incapacitated inmates could be released on so-called medical parole. The new statute was a result of ongoing compromises as part of the omnibus criminal justice reform bill, and pending constitutional litigation which became moot. To date only one person has been released. The intent of the practicum is to engage students both in direct representation of inmates not otherwise entitled to counsel, and in brainstorming and developing solutions in this new and rapidly developing area of law. Students will learn about legislative history and lobbying, about statutory construction, FOIA, and about the constitutional underpinnings of compassionate release. Students will learn and demonstrate drafting, client counseling and negotiation skills. This practicum can be taken for one (50 hours) or two (100 hours) graded credits. Students will write a total of twenty pages, which likely will include a petition for release, and a superior court complaint and motion for judgment on the pleadings.

This seminar will focus on improving students' appellate brief writing skills through a series of course meetings that involve skills training and in-class exercises. The seminar will meet weekly as a group for the first half of the semester and will focus on competition brief writing skills, including research, organization, persuasive writing, and editing. The course will make use of former competition problems to prepare students to write their competition briefs in their specific competitions. For the second half of the semester, students participating in the National Moot Court competition (who serve as Albers preceptors in spring) will meet on an arranged schedule to conduct at least six one-hour formal oral argument practices. The National Moot Court competition students will also be required to write a reflection paper due no later than two weeks after the close of their competition. Students participating in spring competitions will serve as Stone competition preceptors, scoring briefs or oral arguments. These Stone preceptors will meet to work on editing and feedback skills. There will be no final exam. Note that students who are participating on extramural moot court teams that are assigned to serve as either Stone or Albers preceptors must still serve as preceptors even if they do not enroll in this course. ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 25 students. GRADING NOTICE: CR\/NC graded. NOTE: This class may not be used to satisfy the Upper-class Writing Requirement. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar will be administratively dropped from the course. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 706 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Fri<\/td>\n\t<td>10:30 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>1<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jennifer-taylor-mccloskey\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jennifer Taylor McCloskey<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-714\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 714<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Competitions: Oral Advocacy<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">1 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 714<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCompetitions: Oral Advocacy\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">1 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This class is designed to prepare and support the 3L members of BU Law's extramural moot court teams who also serve as Stone and Albers competition preceptors.

The course will cover several issues currently on the Supreme Court's docket, and the course topics will intersect with developments in the news on a regular basis. There is no exam. Students will be required to write a paper on an issue of their choice. Grades are determined by the quality of the paper and class participation. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may be used to satisfy the requirement either partially or in full. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 955 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/robert-m-thomas\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Robert M.

It teaches students basic principles and skills of drafting and analyzing commercial and transaction agreements, with a focus on recognizing, and addressing through contractual provisions, key business issues in transactions. Although the course will be of particular interest to students interested in a corporate or transactional law practice, since most practicing attorneys will need to work with contracts at some point in their career, the concepts and skills which the course conveys are applicable to virtually all practice areas and specialties. While the course utilizes lectures to introduce various contract concepts and techniques essential for drafting and reviewing commercial and transaction agreements, it also requires that students complete both in-class exercises and out-of-class assignments as a means of building basic drafting skills and a solid understanding of the structure and operation of contractual provisions in a business transaction. The course also considers various ethical issues that may arise in the contract drafting and review process and in transactional practice generally. Grades will be based on class participation and graded drafting assignments. CLASS SIZE: 12 students. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT\/EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING REQUIREMENT: This course is a designated Professional Writing Course which may be used to partially satisfy the Upper-Class Writing Requirement (with a grade of B or higher) or the 6-credit Experiential Learning Requirement, but not both. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar will be administratively dropped from the course. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first class to be considered for enrollment. Because the course involves regular in-class exercises, some of which are done in teams, and class participation is a significant component of a student's final grade, regular class attendance is essential and thus the course cannot accommodate flexibility in attendance. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 788 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/john-f-cohan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">John F.

This is a 2-credit graded seminar for those students doing fieldwork in Corporate Counsel offices that meets every week for 1.5 hours. The seminar will cover a range of topics and competencies essential to the day-to-day role of a lawyer in the corporate counsel offices of for-profit and nonprofit companies, such as: understanding the modern and future role of corporate counsel offices, on a global scale; exercising executive leadership; representing a business entity through its constituents; becoming both a trusted legal advisor and strategic business partner to the corporate client; upholding confidentiality and ethical standards; learning the client's business; understanding the role of regulatory compliance; communicating effectively in a business setting; managing priorities and crises; collaborating with multi-disciplined teams; and solving problems with workable solutions that enable the client's objectives. To maximize the students' growth over the semester, the seminar will also teach students how lawyers learn from practice, build strong supervisory and mentorship relationships, build cultural competence, reflect and self-assess, and set and measure progress on professional development goals. Students will write reflective papers, make oral presentations, and complete other work as required by the instructor. COREQUISITE: Corporate Counsel Externship Fieldwork (JD 954).

The First Amendment will be a primary focus, although the questions posed will inevitably spill over into considerations of the Due Process and Equal Protection provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment. Our perspective will be critical, recognizing evolving openness in the courts where it appears and at the same time calling out the conscious, unconscious and systemic bias that continues to pervade the law.\n\nThe plan is to begin with the unlikely emergence of the First Amendment as a friend to LGBT folk in the otherwise hostile legal landscape of the Fifties. Then, we will track how, fertilized by the African-American civil rights and feminist movements of the Sixties and early Seventies, the right to speak burgeoned into the right to participate openly in civic venues that were formerly off limits. We will look at how, and to what extent, the role of the state as guardian of gender conformity lost much of its power to impede openness and equality for people who had historically been regarded as simply beyond the pale of community. We will examine the \"red lines\" that queer people were forbidden to cross, like the scouts, the military, athletics, parenting and marriage; and the extent to which those lines have eroded or become more rigid.  We will assess the \"blowback,\" such as the spate of laws forbidding discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the schools; laws targeting transgender individuals; and the increasing use of the First Amendment to create exemptions to public accommodation laws.\n\nFinally, we will think together about the advantages and possible drawbacks of the strategies employed to advance equality for LGBTQ folks as these strategies relate to the larger struggle for human liberation and for the fostering of an environment that makes it easier for the planet and its inhabitants to thrive. To help facilitate this discussion, one or more sessions will, if feasible, include practicing attorneys working in this area of the law.\n\nThere will be final paper in lieu of an examination. Grades will be based on the paper and class participation, including weekly response papers to the material covered in our weekly sessions. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This class does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option.\n\n**A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

The vast majority of cases, however, never reach trial. Criminal Motion Practice and Advocacy will look comprehensively at the pre-trial motions that comprise the bulk of criminal litigation. Students will have the opportunity to research, write, and argue their own pretrial motions against opposing counsel. The course will travel chronologically through the life of a criminal case, beginning at arraignment and focusing on the art of motions practice. In class exercises will include arguments for Motions to Suppress searches and seizures based on search warrants, as well as Motion to Suppress hearings with live witness testimony and examination. NOTES: This class counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 12 students. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. PREREQUISITE: Criminal Procedure. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the class.

This course is suitable for those who want to cover both the investigatory process and the adjudicatory process in one semester. More specifically, this course surveys the constitutional rules that govern investigation, prosecution, and adjudication in the criminal process, rules that derive primarily from the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments. Topics include police powers and limits in searches and seizures (e.g., stops, frisks, arrests, excessive force, profiling, and surveillance), police interrogations (Miranda), the exclusionary rule (the suppression of evidence obtained unconstitutionally), bail and detention, the right to counsel, the right to trial by jury, grand jury proceedings, prosecutorial charging and discretion, double jeopardy, discovery and exculpatory evidence, plea bargaining, jury selection, and the rights to a public, speedy, and fair trial. We will discuss policy and practical considerations as well as the governing constitutional doctrines, and classroom demonstrations will illustrate the course material.

Students will combine reading and research on the American system of criminalization with their own careful reflections on their experiences in their crime-related externships. Crime related externships may include: Suffolk County DA's Office, Superior Court Units; CPCS, Superior Court Units; Prisoners Legal Services; Boston Police Department; and any other setting that provides legal experience in a crime-related setting. The weekly subject matter of the seminar may depend in part on the precise externship placements of the students but will likely include a selection from the following list: the practice of misdemeanor courts; the practice realities of indigent defense; the salience of race, gender, and class in the criminal system; family and community impact of criminal justice policies and practices; police violence and culture; plea bargaining; prosecutorial discretion; police discretion; the experience of incarceration (including prisoners' rights, solitary confinement, prison violence, and other matters); alternatives to prison; the theory and practice of reentry into the community; and other topics. We will also look at comparisons with criminal systems in other countries and avenues for reform. Students will make presentations to the group and execute substantial written assignments. LIMITED WRITING REQUIREMENT OPTION: A limited number of students will be permitted to satisfy the upper-class writing requirement with this seminar after consultation with the instructor.

This course will explore the dynamic field of \"crimmigration\" -- the intersection between immigration law and criminal law. Through readings, discussion, and independent research projects, students will learn to analyze constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions concerning immigration, as well as procedural and substantive requirements in criminal proceedings as they affect noncitizens. Students will also engage with the growing conversation around immigration and criminal abolition, as a response to the expanding carceral state.

It also attempts to apply principles of Critical Race Theory to the legal research process both to uncover these hegemonic forces and to explore ways to overcome them. It draws on the work of Professors Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic and the innovative and novel ideas and theories being developed by newer, emerging, scholars applying the approach that is now known as Critical Legal Research (CLR). This they apply to their research, their pedagogy, and their research agendas. Indeed, Critical Legal Research has become a movement within law libraries and within the scholarly community.\nThis research seminar can be described as a part of that movement. It is designed to meet the needs and serve the interests of aspiring public interest lawyers, students interested in social justice issues, and students interested in applying the principles of Critical Legal Studies or Critical Race Theory to their contemporary legal research projects, research behaviors, or legal studies. It complements the growing array of seminars and other courses offered here at BU Law that examine the practice of law through a critical lens. Topics to be covered include the legal research process, the limitations inherent in each step of that process, emerging critical approaches to conducting legal research, critical legal scholarship, critical race theory more specifically, and emerging legal research technologies and the specific shortcomings attributable to each. PREREQUISITE: Successful completion of both Lawyering Skills I and Lawyering Skills II. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: The capstone of this course will be a 6,000-word paper on a contemporary issue of justice OR an area of critical legal scholarship of interest to the student.

This course will explore the rapidly changing landscape of cyber law, focusing on the legal framework, policy issues, and practical application of these laws. Specifically, the course will cover cyber crime, including cyber-enabled fraud schemes, computer \u201chacking,\u201d and nation-state cyber activity. The course will also cover cyber security and privacy issues, and the impact of technology on data collection and electronic evidence gathering. We will analyze the framework of both constitutional law and relevant domestic statutes related to data collection, and the intersection of domestic and global concepts of data privacy. Students will explore the strategies used to respond to these challenges by individuals, businesses, governments, and regulatory agencies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 964 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Harman<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-BK-945\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW BK 945<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Cybersecurity and Privacy<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW BK 945<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCybersecurity and Privacy\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course provides an overview of cybersecurity including common terms, policy, strategy, operations, remediation, vulnerabilities, threats, and federal and state statutes and regulations as these pertain to financial services and banking.

Derivatives covered will include futures, forwards, options and swaps in the interest-rate, currency, credit, equity, commodity, energy, weather and environmental areas. Students will also learn key issues and choices that arise in negotiating derivative transactions. The course will cover the increasing intersection of derivatives, cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger (blockchain) technologies, and the related rapidly changing regulatory landscape.

We will explore the potential and dangers of the Internet revolution in communications, and how it is affected by the activities of users, by companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, and by government attempts to restrain or shape the evolution of online activity through law. The course will be structured around discussions of principal readings of relatively recent (and readable) books and articles, including the possibility of videoconferencing or in-person lectures with some of the authors to discuss their work. There will be three student papers required - two short papers due during the semester providing a critical review of one of the readings chosen by the student, and a slightly longer paper due at the end of exams comparing and critiquing two of the principal readings. In addition to gaining a deeper understanding of the topics of the books, we will work on developing essential skills for lawyers of close reading and clear and persuasive writing. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar. or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

This course provides an overview of cybercrime, privacy rights, and digital evidence practice; focusing on the current legal and technical landscape facing investigators and prosecutors in our justice system as they respond to the now commonly overlapping digital, cloud, and physical crime scenes. This course will give students the ability to assess current issues in this space using real-world examples. Students will examine the various constitutional protections afforded to users in the digital space, the law and policies that govern detection and prosecution, using this evidence in investigative practice, understanding the principles of digital search and seizure, and privacy rights vs. privacy protections. This course provides a summary of this fast-growing area of the law arising out of digital evidence investigation as it is used in criminal law as well as in areas of collateral civil practice.

In addition to studying legal authorities, we will engage in practical classroom exercises and hear from attorneys practicing in disability law-related settings. Readings will be provided.

Simulated Deposition Course Component: Students will be divided into firms representing either the Plaintiff or the Defendants in a gender discrimination and defamation case brought by an attorney who has been denied partnership. The students will prepare and perform depositions of lay and expert witnesses and gather experience with obtaining and developing facts, preserving testimony, and the uses of depositions. Professional Responsibility Course Component: The simulated context offers the opportunity to explore several professional responsibility issues that arise naturally in deposition practice. These issues emerge largely because of the dual professional roles of an attorney: zealous representative and officer of the court. Some of the more timely issues involve proper witness preparation, improper witness coaching, inadvertent waiver of privilege, and abusive tactics. Writing and Performance Requirements: Each week students will write a short one or two page comment on the professional responsibility issues raised in class. At the end of the course, students will perform a videotaped deposition rather than take a final written exam. NOTE: This class may be used to satisfy the Professional Responsibility requirement, credits toward Experiential Learning requirement, or the upper-class writing requirement. This class may not be used to satisfy more than one requirement. ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 12 students per section. GRADING NOTICE: This class does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 958 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/constance-a-browne\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Constance A.

This seminar will provide an overview of U.S. energy law and policy and how that law and policy is changing to facilitate decarbonization goals and growing energy needs. The seminar will also explore transactions in the conventional and renewable energy industries, including mergers and acquisitions, financings and private equity investments, and how the relevant legal frameworks and regulatory dynamics impact those transactions. Students will examine sample transaction documents and explore how they are negotiated with a longtime energy M&A practitioner. There are no pre-requisites.

Students receive credit for completing environmental law-related legal projects for a regional or national environmental law organization, such as the Conservation Law Foundation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Projects will vary in scope and content based on student interest and the needs of the partnering organization. Project topics include clean energy, clean water, and environmental justice, which concerns the intersection of civil rights, fundamental fairness, and environmental policy. Students may also have the opportunity to work on litigation-related matters. Throughout the semester, students will work both under the supervision of an attorney at the partner organization and under the supervision of Professor Pam Hill.

Specifically, the course will cover public policy implications of offering and regulating retirement plans including tax policy concerning incentives for employers to offer retirement plans and for employees to defer income to these plans, the different types of retirement plans subject to regulation under ERISA with a focus on defined contribution plans such as cash or deferred arrangements (401(k) plans) under the Internal Revenue Code, how plans qualify for preferential tax treatment under the Code, federal preemption of ERISA-governed benefit plans, ERISA's fiduciary duties and prohibited transaction rules, and civil enforcement in the courts as well as by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor. The course will be relevant for any student interested in employee benefits, tax law, employment law, labor law, business law, or securities law.

The purpose and policies underlying the evidentiary rules are stressed throughout in order to make the rules meaningful, predictable, and functional both for students interested in trial practice and for students who anticipate engaging in a more diversified practice. In addition to covering the substantive rules of evidence, the course demonstrates the significance of evidence as a tactical device at the trial and as a vital skill for the office lawyer. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: Professor Gonzales Rose\u2019s section may be used to satisfy the requirement partially or in full.\n\nPedro: In this course, we will examine evidence rules and principles with a focus on the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence, relevant constitutional provisions, and cases interpreting both. In addition to covering the rules of evidence, the course explores the significance of evidence as a strategic device in civil and criminal litigation, especially at trial. Some topics covered include: hearsay and its exceptions; relevance and prejudice; examination and impeachment of witnesses; privileges; expert testimony; and scientific, character, and propensity evidence. We will frequently use anonymous polling and discussion with a problems-based approach. We will engage in thoughtful discussions about cases alleging serious criminal offenses and civil injuries that may be disturbing. The course includes mandatory, practice quizzes and a practice midterm (specific student performance on the practices do not count toward the final grade) and assessment for the course will be based upon a final examination<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 831 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jasmine-gonzales-rose\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jasmine Gonzales Rose<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 831 B1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>5:00 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>7:00 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td>Lowy<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 831 C1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/portia-pedro\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Portia Pedro<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 831 C1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/ngozi-okidegbe\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Ngozi Okidegbe<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 831 D1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/stephen-m-donweber\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Stephen M.

Students will gain knowledge about how family law intersects with many other fields of law, such as contracts, constitutional law, criminal law, property, torts, public and social welfare law, as well as how social science informs family law. The course will focus on marriage (including the recognition of same-sex marriage), nonmarital families, divorce, pathways to becoming a parent, and the parent-child relationship. Topics include defining and regulating marriage; formal marriage; common law marriage; nonmarital couples, cohabitation, and alternatives to marriage; common law incidents of marriage and the transformation of the common law; domestic violence; traditional and \"no fault\" divorce; property division; spousal support; child support; child custody; adoption; and regulating parenthood. There will be a final examination. The teaching method is a combination of lecture and class discussion, along with in-class small group problem-solving exercises.

The course aims to introduce students to family law as a dynamic field of law concerning a basic social institution: the family. Family law is a foundational course relevant to many areas of law practice. Students will gain knowledge about how family law intersects with fields of law, such as contracts, constitutional law, conflicts of laws, criminal law, property, tax, and trusts and estates, and how family law draws on the social sciences. We will examine the role of family law in contributing to and ameliorating inequalities in society on various bases, including gender, race, class, and sexual orientation. Students will be introduced to the role of negotiation, mediation, and other forms of dispute resolution in family law practice. Topics include defining and regulating family (including marriage and parenthood); formal and informal marriage; cohabitation and alternatives to marriage (such as domestic partnerships); common law incidents of marriage and the transformation of the common law; marital agreements; intimate partner violence; traditional and \"no-fault\" divorce; property division; spousal support; child support; child custody; and the family regulation system.

This course builds on first-year courses in Constitutional Law and Civil Procedure and complements upperclass courses on modern public law and legal institutions: e.g., Administrative Law, Immigration Law, Environmental Law, Labor Law, and Conflict of Laws. Topics include the separation of federal judicial, legislative, and executive powers, Congress' authority to prescribe the federal courts' jurisdiction and to assign adjudicatory duties to other bodies (e.g., legislative, courts and agencies), private authority to mount litigation to enforce federal law, standing to sue in federal court, conflicts between federal and state courts, the states' immunity from private lawsuits, the Supreme Court's authority to review state court judgments, and \"abstention\" doctrines governing the exercise of federal judicial power. We will explore theoretical and policy questions asking not only what federal-courts law is at the moment, but also what it should be. Yet we will organize our discussions around practical lawyering in the federal courts' identifying and analyzing the constitutional, statutory, and judge-made hurdles that litigants must clear to obtain a decision on the merits of a federal question. Especially recommended for students who plan to practice with firms that represent clients subject to federal regulation, to pursue careers with federal or state agencies and departments, or to handle constitutional, civil rights, or other public interest litigation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 845 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>11:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:25 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td>Bernstein<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-836\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 836<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Federal Courts<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 836<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFederal Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This is a basic survey course covering the federal courts, their place in the structure of American government, their relations with the Legislative and Executive branches and with the states, and their adjudication of federal-question cases concerning constitutional and civil rights, federal social welfare programs, and environmental and business regulation.

Especially recommended for students who plan to practice with firms that represent clients subject to federal regulation, to pursue careers with federal or state agencies and departments, or to handle constitutional, civil rights, or other public interest litigation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 836 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/larry-yackle\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Larry Yackle<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-847\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 847<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Federal Criminal Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 847<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFederal Criminal Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course examines federal criminal law as a distinct legal system shaped by the dynamic interplay between Congress, the executive branch, and the judiciary. Students will explore the Constitutional foundations of federal jurisdiction, the statutory framework of key offenses\u2014including corruption, racketeering, and criminal violations of Constitutional rights\u2014and the evolving role of federal agencies in enforcement. The course not only covers established doctrine but also highlights the unsettled questions that challenge courts, prosecutors, and policymakers. By analyzing case law, statutory materials, and institutional responses, students will gain insight into how each branch of government influences the development and enforcement of federal criminal law. This course will have a required final exam.

It covers topics such as grand jury investigation and indictment, pretrial release and detention, discovery, plea bargaining, and sentencing. Lectures will cover the various areas, and will include guest speakers such as a federal prosecutor and defender. Students will be required to prepare two written court documents, one regarding release\/detention, and the other sentencing, one as a prosecutor and the other as a defender. Additionally, the students will argue both.  UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This Dedicated Writing Class may be used to satisfy the requirement. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 947 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td>Gelpi<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-BK-971\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW BK 971<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Financial Crisis to Fintech<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW BK 971<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tFinancial Crisis to Fintech\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The landscape of the financial system is defined by crises and the responses to those crises. Whether it is the Panic of 1907 that let to the creation of the Federal Reserve, the Great Depression that produced the Glass Steagall Act, or the Great Recession of 2008-09 that resulted in the Dodd Frank Act, one cannot appreciate the nuances of the financial system without an appreciation for how it was shaped. This course respects the significant role of history in shaping the current financial system. It is, however, in discussing current events in the context of that development that the course delivers the greatest value. Each student is expected to keep abreast of recent developments in the financial services industry and come to class prepared to discuss them. In this regard, something new is afoot today. It is called \"fintech\" or financial technology. Each crisis and each regulatory reaction call for financial institutions to be more highly regulated. This imposes additional costs on incumbent institutions. It also opens the door for the digitization of finance, new ways of making payments, and an opportunity for AI to be a substitute for the old ways of doing business. All this comes with considerable risk and opportunity. This course provides the student with a perspective on historical developments. For example, the origins of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-09 are explored along with the extensive financial reform responses to the crisis be they legislative, regulatory or market- driven. The course has three parts: the Buildup, the Eye-of-the Storm, and the Response. In the first part, the causes of this and other financial crises are explored including the housing bubble, the development of the \"shadow\" financial system, new financial instruments, regulatory gaps and deregulation, monetary policies, compensation practices, accounting deficiencies, governance breakdowns, and more. In the second part, policy responses to the crisis are detailed such as: central bank liquidity facilities, government investment programs such as TARP, fiscal stimulus, stress-testing, enforcement actions and the lack thereof, and global coordination of responses. The critical role of Government Sponsored Enterprises, GSEs, is also explored. Finally, the course takes an analytical view of the reforms prompted by the crisis. These include various systemic risk measures, guidance from the G-20 and Financial Stability Board, Basel III, the treatment of home\/host country issues, and the current state-of-play of the regulation of the derivatives marketplace. In each of these three parts, the role of fintech is discussed. This includes the topics of crypto, stablecoins, real time payments, asset digitization, and AI assisted credit underwriting. When the instructor believes an outside subject matter expert will enhance the discussion, he will call on qualified practitioners to participate. Students are expected to make their own presentations as well. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online (OL) section of any Banking course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 971 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/cornelius-k-hurley\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Cornelius K.

After studying how the framing generation allocated foreign affairs power between and among the federal branches and the states, we will focus on discrete topics of contemporary relevance or interest. Topics vary at the margins from year to year but generally include (1) the role, powers, and limits of the judiciary in foreign affairs; (2) presidential and congressional foreign affairs powers\u2014and the dynamics of cooperation, acquiescence, and conflict between the political branches; (3) how U.S. national law incorporates international law insofar as it does; (4) whether and how constitutional rights apply to persons outside U.S. territory or jurisdiction; (5) war powers; (6) the detention, interrogation, and trial of unprivileged belligerents (e.g., criminal gangs, terrorist networks, rebel forces, etc.); (7) sanctions; and (8) civil rights and liberties in war.

Many legal and social problems implicate gender and gender equality. Gender remains a significant category of analysis in numerous substantive areas of law. Gender equality is also a commitment of domestic law and international human rights law, but gender inequality persists. Gender scholars highlight the need for an intersectional approach to gender, even as some scholars question the continuing use of gender and other identity categories in law and policy. In alternating weeks, when there is no outside speaker, the instructor and students will discuss the paper that to be delivered the following week, as well as relevant background reading. Topics vary from year to year, depending on the speakers, but have included: anti-discrimination law, criminal law, elder law, employment law (including sexual harassment law), First Amendment (speech and religion and objections to antidiscrimination law), gender identity issues (including transgender rights), health law, international human rights, the intersection of race and gender, law and sexuality, privacy law, reproductive justice, health, and rights, and gender-based violence. Students will write a short reflection paper on each scholarly paper and one longer paper (10-12 pages) about one or more of the seven works. Interested faculty are invited to attend sessions when speakers present their work. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: With the instructor's permission, the longer paper written for this class may be used to partially satisfy the Upper-Class Writing Requirement. Confirmed speakers for Spring 2027 include: Professors Kecia Ali (BU Dept. of Religion); Nancy Chi Cantalupo (Rutgers Law); D Dangaran (Univ. Hawai \u0312 I Law); Amanda Shanor (Penn, Wharton School); Elizabeth Sepper (Univ. of Texas Law); Ari Waldman (UCI Law); and Alicia Ely Yamin (Harvard Law). This seminar, which is offered in alternate academic years, will count toward the Reproductive Justice and Rights track of the Health Law Concentration and the JD Certificate in Women\u2019s Gender & Sexuality Studies. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 966 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/linda-c-mcclain\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Linda C.

Recently, there has been greater recognition of gender-based injuries within the law and the provision of new, important protections to survivors. However, despite considerable progress, gender-based violence continues to present theoretical and practical questions, such as: To what extent is gender-based violence different than other types of violence? What legal approaches are most effective to address the harms while recognizing that the diverse interests of survivors? How do societal norms related to gender-based violence impact legal remedies? How should courts balance the interests of other parties in such proceedings to ensure that constitutional rights remain intact? This seminar will explore the limits of the law in addressing gender-based violence and emerging non-traditional approaches, including problem-solving courts and restorative justice frameworks. It also will examine how the emergence of the #MeToo movement may influence legal responses to gender-based violence.

The course is structured into three interconnected units: \n\u2022 Unit 1: Happiness, Law, and Public Policy: This unit delves into how social policies and legal frameworks can be designed to promote happiness and well-being at a societal level. It examines the use of happiness data and insights from behavioral sciences to inform legal change in areas such as criminal law, civil procedure, corporate law, and tax law. \n\u2022 Unit 2: How to Be a Happy Lawyer: This unit focuses on cultivating meaningful and fulfilling legal careers. Drawing on general happiness studies and the growing field of law and mindfulness, it explores strategies for lawyers to enhance their own well-being and job satisfaction. \n\u2022 Unit 3: The Lawyer-Client Relationship: This unit analyzes the lawyer-client relationship beyond traditional paradigms. It considers the potential for this relationship to increase the happiness and well-being of both attorneys and clients, incorporating perspectives from philosophy, psychology, economics, and political science. \n\nThe seminar employs a variety of pedagogical methods to facilitate student learning. These include Socratic discussion of assigned readings, synchronous and asynchronous experiential exercises, and hands-on activities. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with mindfulness techniques and develop an actionable personal career-life plan that integrates the themes of the course. Additional experiential exercises will be incorporated throughout the semester to provide practical application of course concepts.

Boards of Directors are judged on whether or not they have taken steps, directly and through management, to implement such programs. This is necessary both as a core management tool and to demonstrate a commitment to good governance and compliance in order to take advantage of penalty reductions under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, including the Sentencing Commission's June 2020 revisions. \"Such compliance and ethics program shall be reasonably designed, implemented, and enforced so that the program is generally effective in preventing and detecting criminal conduct.\"  But how do you design such a program? How does legal counsel assist the company in building and operating one? What distinguishes the \"legal function\" from the \"compliance function\"? Lawyers working in health care businesses need to be able to answer these questions to advice the board and management. This course focuses on the fundamentals required to develop and maintain an effective health care corporate compliance program. Students will study the seven elements of a successful compliance program in practical detail and will learn best practices for compliance programs. Specifically, this will include learning how best to design and implement compliance oversight and committees, practicing policy drafting, and exploring the most effective ways to educate and train in compliance. This will also include developing an excellent understanding of audit, investigation, and corrective action skills and strategies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 745 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/larry-vernaglia\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Larry Vernaglia<\/a><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/james-bryant\/\" title=\"View Profile\">James Bryant<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-867\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 867<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Health Care Finance<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 867<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHealth Care Finance\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This 3-credit course will cover the legal structures governing public and private health care finance.

After an introduction to types of deals, the regulatory context of health care, and health care transactional theory, we will turn to case studies of complex health care transactions, drawing on actual documents and the experience of practitioners who worked on the deals. Transaction types will include hospital and physician group M&A, joint ventures, clinical affiliations, and others.  We will be joined by regulators, partners, associates and general counsel from leading firms to provide real-world insights and discuss the health care transactions they were personally involved in. Students will complete two oral and two written assignments. Working alone or in pairs, each student will analyze a deal and present it to the class, with the lawyers who closed it. In addition, each student will present a short case brief to provide context for the legal issues being covered in class. Written assignments include: (i) working in teams, negotiating and drafting a term sheet for a transaction; and (ii) a post-mortem reflection  on lessons learned and ethical issues to consider in transactional law. PREREQUISITE\/COREQUISITE: This course does not assume any particular prerequisites\/corequisites. Health Law Finance, Health Law Survey Colloquium and\/or Corporations, however, would be helpful to have taken or take during this semester.

Students will collaborate with frontline health care providers who serve marginalized populations on projects that require legal and problem-solving skills and where providers and\/or patients have identified a systemic problem affecting patients' health and wellbeing. In Spring 2022, we will be collaborating with Project RESPECT, an integrated obstetrics, addiction medicine, and behavioral health clinic at Boston Medical Center that serves low-income pregnant and parenting people in recovery from substance use disorders (SUDs), especially opioid use disorders (OUDs). Project RESPECT providers have identified a problem in Massachusetts law that significantly harms low-income parents in recovery from SUDs and their children, disproportionately harming Black, Indigenous, or other people of color (BIPOC) families. Children born to women in evidence-based medication-assisted recovery (e.g., methadone treatment) must be reported at birth to the Department of Children and Families as if the mother were actively using drugs. Children born to BIPOC mothers are more likely than children born to white mothers both to be reported to child protection authorities and to be separated from their families as a result. The trauma of custody disruption has demonstrated serious effects on both recovering parents and child health and development. We will explore and advocate for possible legal and policy advocacy solutions to these issues--for example, changes in mandatory reporting laws and reformed child protection agency practices to eliminate discriminatory decisionmaking. Students will attend group meetings as well as work on research and advocacy. The project work will allow students to hone their research, analytical, writing, presentation, and problem-solving skills. Regular group meetings will deepen students' understanding of their projects by providing a broader context. Students will also meet individually or in teams with the faculty supervisor to discuss their project work.

This course analyzes contemporary issues in health care and biomedical research to explore how law both structures, and is reshaped by, central problems in bioethics. Topics include experimentation on human subjects; research misconduct and the regulation of scientific integrity; researcher and physician conflicts of interest; reproductive ethics, including prenatal embryo testing; genetic and genomic information and data privacy; end of life decision making and medical aid in dying; organ donation, transplantation, and allocation; artificial intelligence and digital health tools in clinical care and research; and access to investigational medical products, such as through FDA\u2019s expanded access (\u201ccompassionate use\u201d) pathway. Throughout the course, students will engage with primary legal materials,  interdisciplinary scholarship in law, public health, and bioethics, and problem based hypotheticals that require analysis of the trade offs among autonomy, justice, and innovation. This course will familiarize students with key bioethical debates, the legal framework relevant to each debate, and the policy goals on which each framework is based, which will enable them to make recommendations and consider legal reforms in these areas. The course will be of interest to students interested in health law, bioethics, the regulation of emerging technologies or policy work in government, hospitals, life science companies, advocacy organizations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 727 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:55 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td>L.

Students receive credit for working at a public agency, a non-profit, or a private health care organization. Placements may be paid or unpaid. Prior to the beginning of the semester, the course instructor works with students to identify suitable field placements depending on each student's individual interests and career goals. Once possible placements are identified, students are responsible for applying and being accepted to those organizations. Students receive 3-9 variable P\/F credits for their fieldwork, as determined in consultation with their placement supervisors.

The HLSC will present a diverse range of topics spanning the field of health law. By asking each speaker to share something from their core specialty, we expect to receive enthusiastic and highly-engaging conversations with the students. Relevant readings may include scholarly works in progress (as in typical colloquia) but also excerpts from casebooks, primary sources, new legal or regulatory developments, or case studies from practice. Students will write response papers.

The course uses a mix of case studies, individual memos and team project deliverables to systematically apply skills developed over the course of the MBA to solve real-world health sector problems. Students work on the consulting assignment in teams of up to four students based on having a shared interest in a prospective consulting project. These projects are curated in partnership with sponsor organizations to be executable within the framework of an academic semester. Projects in the past have ranged from improving the departmental revenue cycle within an academic medical center, developing an international pricing strategy for the introduction of a new product by a pharmaceutical company, to improving safety culture at a large hospital. These projects all have active involvement of the project sponsors who provide access to their organizations and provide ongoing feedback over the lifecycle of the consulting engagement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>REMINDER: This is a QST course.

The heart of the seminar is student engagement with works-in-progress by leading scholars in the history, theory, and culture of law, broadly understood. The first three class sessions will be devoted to developing the intellectual tools necessary for reading and engaging with such papers. Starting in week 4 of the semester, the class format will alternate between workshop sessions and more traditional seminar sessions. During the five workshop sessions, an invited scholar will present a current scholarly work-in-progress for discussion. Students will read the speaker's paper in advance and prepare discussion questions for the seminar. During the other sessions, the class will meet as a normal seminar, during which we will discuss readings related to the workshop papers and legal history more generally. The written work for the seminar will consist of a series of brief, critical essays in response to a student-selected subset of the workshop papers. NOTE: This course is open to law students and to graduate students from other departments. A background in history is not a prerequisite. Graduate students from outside the law school may be able to receive 4 credits for this course. Please consult the professor regarding this option. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT OPTION: Students may use this class to satisfy the upper-class writing requirement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 846 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jed-handelsman-shugerman\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jed Handelsman\u00a0Shugerman<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-950\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 950<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS & TRIALS<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 950<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS & TRIALS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This seminar will focus upon the substantive law of homicide, as well as the practical aspects of actual homicide investigations and trials: crime scene interpretation; DNA analysis; autopsies and related forensic evidence; expert testimony, particularly in the area of psychiatry and criminal responsibility; jury considerations; ethical concerns; and the role of the media.

The course will review Federal and State statutes, regulations, as well as case law relevant to hospital organization, responsibilities and liability, credentialing, fraud and abuse laws and compliance oversight. The course is intended to develop competencies in understanding health care and health care insurance laws and regulations as they pertain to hospitals, developing familiarity with the reimbursement (particularly Medicare & Medicaid), regulatory compliance and enforcement issues facing hospital counsel. In addition, it is expected that students will demonstrate legal analysis and reasoning, problem-solving and communications skills required for work in a hospital\/health care setting. Through understanding core health care law principles, students will learn the foundational legal, structural and business aspects of the modern hospital complex. Understanding how hospitals fit into the broader health care environment of payors, physicians, patients, regulators and other health care providers, law students will be able to appreciate the challenging dynamics affecting the health care system and the role of the hospital, often at the hub of activity, both in terms of current practice, but also health care delivery system reform. After completing the class, students will have been exposed to the key health care-related legal issues facing hospitals that hospital counsel and other health care lawyers need to know. Additionally, recognition of these stressors will be important training for lawyers in other disciplines interacting with hospitals, such as labor and employment law, intellectual property, antitrust, criminal defense, environmental, corporate, employee benefits, tax, etc. Course materials include a case book, primary source documentation, and guest lectures from in-house and outside counsel representing hospitals. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 913 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/james-bryant\/\" title=\"View Profile\">James Bryant<\/a><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/larry-vernaglia\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Larry Vernaglia<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-961\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 961<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Housing Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 961<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHousing Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Over the last sixty years housing law has evolved in a number of significant ways. Where once a lease was primarily considered to involve a transfer of an interest in land, it is now considered to involve a relationship framed by contract principles. Consistent with this change, tort law involving rental property is moving from a traditional negligence standard to a more complex standard based upon a duty derived from the implied warranty of habitability. Courts must now determine whether landlords should be held strictly liable in tort for personal injury claims based on defective conditions, inadequate security, lead poisoning, etc. Where formerly a landlord had significant discretion over tenant selection and tenancy termination, a variety of state housing laws and federal\/state anti-discrimination laws now place significant limits on the landlord's power and control over these tenancy relationships. Public housing and governmentally subsidized housing has generated much heated debate as well as litigation over such issues as development-based policing authority and the right to evict entire families based upon criminal conduct of one family member. Finally, during the past four years complex title, tenancy, consumer rights and community preservation issues have arisen in the wake of the foreclosure crisis that has swept the nation. This seminar will focus on the various legal, social policy, and practical issues emerging with respect to traditional tenancies, premises liability, public safety in public and subsidized housing, housing discrimination, environmental protection, and control of foreclosed property. Student classroom participation and papers are required.

Students have three fieldwork options: (1) concentration in immigrants' rights; (2) concentration in human trafficking; or (3) work on both types of cases. Students focusing on immigrants' rights will represent adult and children asylum seekers and other vulnerable noncitizens with the opportunity to litigate an immigration case in the Boston Immigration Court. Students focusing on anti-trafficking work will represent survivors of labor and sex trafficking in a wide range of civil matters and engage in policy-related work to address gaps in the local and national landscape. Students focusing on both immigrants' rights and human trafficking will represent immigrant clients and survivors of human trafficking in a range of civil matters. All students will have the opportunity to engage in immigrants' rights and human trafficking work through \"Know-Your-Rights\" visits at the local jail\/detention center and by conducting intake at the Family Justice Center for human trafficking survivors. Students, working in pairs, assume the primary responsibility for multiple clients' complex cases, from start to finish. Students conduct client interviews, track down witnesses, speak with experts, develop documentary, testimonial and expert evidence, and write legal briefs. The clinical supervisors prepare students for their cases through weekly supervision meetings, mid-semester and final individual meetings, and mock hearings, as appropriate. NOTE: The Immigrants' Rights and Human Trafficking Program counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. PRE\/CO-REQUISITE: Evidence.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit noted the \u201clabyrinthine character of modern immigration law -- a maze of hyper-technical statutes and regulations.\u201d Drax v. Reno, 338 F.3d 98, 99 (2d Cir. 2003). In addition, it is an area with the potential for sweeping legislative and regulatory change in the upcoming year. This one-credit experiential course will help students navigate this complex and shifting legal and regulatory environment, by covering a broad spectrum of search strategies and tactics for researching immigration law issues.\u202f \nThe course will initially focus on some key immigration statutes (the Immigration and Nationality Act and its many amendments, the Refugee Act, and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility of 1996).\u202fFrom there the course will proceed to administrative law, which heavily impacts immigration.\u202fStudents will look at the agencies responsible for immigration procedure, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (created by the Homeland Security Act of 2002), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Labor (DOL), and they will learn to research the regulations, administrative decisions, and guidance documents from these agencies and how they affect immigration law.\u202fResearch topics will include asylum law, grounds of inadmissibility, deportation and removal proceedings, visa classifications, business immigration law and the intersection of criminal law and immigration. \nThe goal of the course is for students to become comfortable researching both simple and complex immigration issues. NOTE: This class counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the class. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 769 A1,<\/span> <span>Oct 19th to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>1<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/brian-flaherty\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Brian Flaherty<\/a>McCarthy<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-TX-953\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW TX 953<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Inbound International Tax<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW TX 953<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tInbound International Tax\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will cover the U.S. tax rules applicable to taxation of income from U.S. (and sometimes foreign) sources received by corporations and individuals that are non-residents of the United States. In some cases, such income will be derived from passive investments and be in the form of dividends, interest, rents, or royalties. In other cases, the income will arise from active business activities. The course will address the concept of residence and entity classification, the U.S. source of income rules, the U.S. withholding tax rules (including the obligations of withholding agents) with respect to non-business income, the types of activities that can generate a \"trade or business\" (tax nexus) in the U.S., the U.S. rules for determining income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and thus taxable in the U.S., the branch profits tax, FIRPTA (foreign investment in U.S. real property) and the U.S. rules applicable to financing U.S. operations owned by non-U.S. taxpayers Finally, we will address the impact of tax treaties on the taxation of income of non-residents. This course will be of interest to students who will represent foreign resident taxpayers with economic operations in the United States. Prerequisite or corequisite: Federal Income Taxation I; Recommended: Tax Aspects of International Business.

throughout society, from commerce to government and from health care to finance. For good reason, we call this the Information Age. Recall the countless high- profile privacy and data security controversies you have heard about in the last year: location tracking; inaccurate credit reports causing lost jobs; data breaches, hacking and identity theft; and government surveillance. Law has responded with a dizzying array of new rules -- and a rapidly growing area of professional specialization for attorneys. This course serves as an introduction to the emerging law of data privacy. By the end, you will be well grounded in many challenges facing any enterprise, public or private, that collects, processes, uses, and stores personal information. In addition to knowledge of constitutional, statutory, and common law rules as well as federal and state enforcement activity, we will learn about the policy questions that arise in this dynamic area, the legally relevant questions to ask when assessing information practices, and some of the many nonlegal models of information governance. You will gain a basic understanding of data privacy regulation in other countries, particularly the European Union. All students will benefit from more sophisticated knowledge about an issue that appears in the news every single day. But there are significant professional payoffs too. Major law firms have organized entire practice areas devoted to privacy and data protection law. In the last seven years the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), a key trade association in this space, more than tripled in size to 12,000 members. These trends mean that law school graduates will have increasing job opportunities in data privacy and security law. Meanwhile, in many other practice areas -- such as securities, labor and employment, health, advertising, and the list goes on -- familiarity with privacy and security law has become a major asset. Plus, the issues are fascinating and fun. If nothing else, you can have great conversations at parties. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 956 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>10:45 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/woodrow-hartzog\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Woodrow Hartzog<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-934\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 934<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">INFORMATION RISK MANAGEMENT<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 934<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tINFORMATION RISK MANAGEMENT\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Businesses and organizations handle information every day to conduct business, process transactions, and deliver goods and services. They do so in the context of legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations relating to their possession and use of this information. In the age of \"Big Data\" and \"Advanced Persistent Threats,\" these entities can no longer focus solely on developing and implementing procedures to govern information processing. Instead, they must implement governance that allows for the optimization of risk while facilitating core management decision making in order to create real value. This is the new world of \"knowledge governance.\" Legal counsel must ensure compliance with the legal and core requirements for security, privacy and data breach prevention, in a way that aligns with the strategic objectives of their firm. Designing a robust compliance program is a critical part of this task, but the big-data environment requires skills that go beyond devising a formal compliance program. In particular, lawyers operating in this environment must consider the value of data and information, understand the nature of their organization's collection, use, and disclosure of that data, and appreciate the relationship between risk optimization and their organization's strategic objectives. This course will explore the lawyer's role in devising and implementing a policy and culture of knowledge governance within a firm. It will focus on information, especially personal information. It will introduce students to the core principles of information risk management -- the privacy attributes of collection, use, and disclosure married with the security concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability -- while providing a framework for governance around information risk management. This course will also serve in part as preparation for the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP). UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 934 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/kenneth-p-mortensen\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Kenneth P.

This course focuses on both individual and commercial forms of insurance coverage. Students are introduced to the key insurance concepts of risk management, including the transfer, pooling and allocation of covered risks. Problems of contract interpretation, imperfect information, adverse selection and discrimination will be treated at length. Additionally, the class will take up issues particular to property, life, health, disability, liability and auto insurance. Finally, some time will be devoted to the state regulatory regimes designed to ensure solvency and profitability, and to the secondary market (i.e. reinsurance, and surplus and excess lines). A final exam is required. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 850 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:45 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/maria-obrien\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Maria O&#8217;Brien<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-857\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 857<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 857<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">In our modern information economy, the law of intellectual property has taken on enormous importance to both creators and users.

Students will be introduced to laws that influence decision makers in the life sciences and participate in a series of exercises to apply legal doctrines and understand the incentives and outcomes produced by the existing legal framework. Course topics include selecting drug candidates, IP licensing, material transfer agreements, how firms use IP to protect pharmaceuticals, the optimal timing of patent protection, building patent portfolios, regulatory exclusivity, Hatch-Waxman litigation (litigation between brand-name and generic drug companies), and generic drug development. The course will be a combination of lecture and in-class problem-solving exercises. There are no prerequisites for this class.

The course then proceeds to specific research strategies in copyright, patents, and trademark law, providing students an increased understanding of advanced legal research skills using: secondary sources, legislative history, administrative materials, and more. Students will gain an even deeper understanding of the context and framework of legal resources and how they are applied to real-world research from practitioner guest lecturers. Classes combine instruction and hands-on exercises, with an emphasis on exposure to databases beyond Lexis and Westlaw. Students are evaluated on weekly research assignments and a final research project. PREREQUISITE: Intellectual Property. NOTE: Students may not add this course after the first class is held.

Arbitration is a private means of dispute resolution where the parties agree to be bound by the decision of an arbitrator of their choice, whose decision in a final award has the same legal force as a court judgment or order. International arbitration is the main form of dispute resolution relating to cross-border commercial disputes and is also sometimes used in public international law contexts involving governments. This course will explore both doctrinal issues--such as what constitutes 'consent' to arbitrate and the relationship between international tribunals, who adjudicate the disputes, and national courts, who compel arbitration and enforce (or void) arbitral decisions--and policy debates, such as what issues are appropriate for resolution by private arbitrators rather than judges and the social ramifications of the lack of transparency in arbitration.

In addition to substantive law, the course introduces students to essential lawyering skills crucial for success in international transactional practice. Students will develop their skills in negotiation, contract drafting, and client counseling. \nThrough a combination of doctrinal study, case analysis, and practical exercises such as role-playing, students will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of international business transactions and the role of lawyers in facilitating these deals. The course will also address the importance of cultural awareness in international business dealings and explore topics such as corporate social responsibility and international dispute resolution.

The private sector's preferred financing solution for the hundreds of billions of dollars a year in necessary infrastructure projects is non-recourse 'project finance', under which individual or limited groups of projects are financed on a standalone basis, relying solely on the economic potential of the project to repay lenders and equity investors.\n\nProject finance is a multidisciplinary practice area covering corporate law, securities law, contract law, construction law, insurance law, secured lending and banking laws, regulatory laws and policies, environmental law, real estate law, and tax law among others.  Project finance is increasingly affected and driven by environmental, social and governance issues, including climate change.\n\nThis seminar will examine both the norms and conventions of project finance and emerging trends in project finance practice, including sources of capital, the role of government and the role of E.S.G.  \n\nThe seminar will analyze and evaluate a hypothetical project throughout the year. We will look at the lifecycle of the project, from conception, permitting and development, financing, construction through operation, including what happens when projects go bad. Our emphasis will be on typical projects that business lawyers may encounter.\n\nA final 'Client Memorandum' of 6,000-7,000 words outlining key issues and risks in the hypothetical project and recommending solutions will be required in lieu of an examination.

Students will examine the history of how today\u2019s trade and investment agreements and climate agreements have been formed and the underlying principles that shape them. They will become familiar with the texts of those treaties and how they have been interpreted in modern jurisprudence, including the most recent decisions by the International Court of Justice, the World Trade Organization\u2019s Dispute Settlement Body, and investment dispute tribunals. They will also become familiar with how this system of treaties is intended to shape national-level policymaking, which, in turn, shapes the actions and behavior of private firms and individuals. The course includes topics such as (1) environmental disputes at the World Trade Organization, (2) investor-state dispute settlement targeting environmental and climate policies, (3) efforts at the bilateral, regional and mega-regional level to incorporate environmental commitments into free trade agreements, (4) unilateral efforts by the EU and the US to promote climate-friendly policy-making worldwide and (5) developing country perspectives in the \"just transition\" movement. By the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the points of harmony and tension between these two regimes and will have thought critically and creatively about the ways forward.

In the first part of the course, we examine the evolution and philosophical basis of environmental protection at the international level as well the primary sources and main global institutions concerned with global environmental protection. The second part of the course analyzes key norms of international environmental law, including sustainable development, inter-generational equity, the precautionary principle, the common but differentiated responsibility principle, the polluter pays principle, permanent sovereignty over natural resources and environmental impact assessments. The final part of the course examines specific treaty regimes. These may include protection of the atmosphere, the ozone, climate change, marine pollution, biodiversity, and species protection, as well as the interaction between international environmental law and international human rights and trade. A key theme that runs throughout the course is the role of both traditional (i.e., States) and non-traditional actors (i.e., international organizations, individuals, private companies, NGOs, and indigenous communities) in the development and application of international environmental law.

The class will introduce students to the concepts of human rights, and the legal texts that have codified and provided content to those concepts in the last seventy years. The class aims to work at three levels: to examine the role of human rights (law) in history and politics; to analyze the doctrine of international human rights law; to introduce key areas of current and future human rights practice. We will accordingly look at the historical evolution and political role of human rights law, and ask whether there is such a thing as universal human rights, or whether the concepts are dependent on specific regions, cultures and political systems. We will look at the key institutions and mechanisms, at the global and regional level, for the monitoring and enforcement of human rights law. We will analyze the law on specific rights (for example the right to life, the prohibition of torture, the right to self-determination) as well as in specific contexts and themes (for example human rights and climate change; business and human rights) to understand the reach and function of human rights law in the international system.

In order to harmonize intellectual property laws, more and more countries sign up to multilateral agreements regulating these laws. However, jurisdictional differences still exist and affect this process. This seminar examines international agreements and comparative laws on intellectual property. Topics will include securing and enforcing rights in trademarks, copyrights and patents in various jurisdictions, and selected topics such as database protection, geographical indications, the interplay between intellectual property, international trade and culture, and Internet-related issues. The seminar is open to students who have completed or are enrolled in an IP survey course, or to LLMs with some Intellectual Property experience. Seminar requirements include a class presentation and a 15-20 page final research paper. PRE-REQUISITE\/CO-REQUISITE: Intellectual Property, International Law, or permission of instructor. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who waitlist for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 686 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td>Mbori<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-927\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 927<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">International Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 927<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tInternational Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Sloane section: This course offers a basic introduction to and survey of contemporary international law. We will consider both the traditional \u201claw of nations\u201d and postwar developments, which have shifted the fulcrum of international law from a relatively exclusive focus on the rights and duties of nation-states (countries) inter se to a broader focus on all of the diverse participants in international law today. The course agenda is twofold: first, to understand the basic structure, norms, and processes that characterize\u2014and at times distinguish\u2014international law; and second, to introduce a diverse sample of several of the most significant substantive fields, which, in combination, make up the contemporary international legal system. Specific topics typically include (1) international law\u2019s history, nature, and sources; (2) the establishment, transformation, and termination of states and other actors in contemporary law; (3) national incorporation of international law, focusing on core concepts of U.S. foreign relations law; (4) how international law allocates jurisdiction to make and apply law, as well as selected immunities to jurisdiction; (5) international law\u2019s postwar effort to protect human dignity through the evolution, expansion, or creation of comparatively novel fields, chief among them (a) human rights, (b) the law of war and (c) international criminal law; (6) how international law controls and regulates the planet\u2019s resources (e.g., the law of the sea); and (7) economic sanctions and the use of force. We will conclude by considering some of the perennial questions, challenges, and doubts that international law faces. Relevant current events will be incorporated from time to time.\nGeorge section: This course will offer a basic survey of contemporary international law. It will teach students about the major issues of public international law and policy that influence current events, with an eye to both legal theory and modern legal practice. Specific topics will include: (i) the history, theory, and nature of international law; (ii) the sources of international law; (iii) the \"actors\" of international law -- states, international organizations (with emphasis on the U.N. system); (iv) the domestic incorporation of international law, with a focus on key concepts of U.S. foreign relations law; (v) international human rights; (vi) the use of force; and (vii) humanitarian law.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 927 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/robert-d-sloane\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Robert D.

The first part of the course provides a theoretical and historical background regarding international law governing the use of force, looking first at debates over the role and effectiveness of international law in international relations, turning to questions about how international law seeks to regulate the use of force in the international system and the extent to which actors comply with their obligations under international law. The second part of the course focuses on international humanitarian law, examining different forms of humanitarian law violations, considering how international humanitarian law affects the behavior of governments and non-state actors during conflict, and discussing why governments and non-state actors often fail to abide by international humanitarian law. In this section, we will also pay particular attention to specific cases of armed conflict \u2013 both interstate conflicts such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and civil conflicts such as Libya, Rwanda, and Syria. The last section of the course considers questions about the enforcement of international humanitarian law and attempts to secure justice for violations of international law, including discussions of ad-hoc international criminal tribunals, the International Criminal Court, and efforts to hold individuals accountable for atrocity crimes in domestic courts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 697 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jessica-a-stanton\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jessica A.

At the complex intersection of law, business operations, reputation, and ethics, compliance lawyers practice \"preventive law\" to protect companies against corporate criminal and civil liability. We will discuss how to identify and evaluate an organization's legal risks and and work in multidisciplinary teams to develop effective strategies to prevent wrongdoing (and detect violations when they do occur). Among other topics, we will look at the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and enforcement guidance from the Department of Justice and Securities & Exchange Commission to see how compliance has become a key mechanism of corporate accountability in the U.S. and globally. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 778 OL,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/donald-griffith\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Donald Griffith<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-724\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 724<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Introduction to AI and Intellectual Property<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 724<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIntroduction to AI and Intellectual Property\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This skills seminar focuses on the intersection of law and technology, with an emphasis on AI and Intellectual Property law.

Learning how to prompt can help create a highly capable \"second lawyer\" sitting in the office, provided that students can master the dialogue required (the prompt) to keep their digital associate focused on the task at hand and steer clear of hallucinations. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that the AI\u2019s output serves to sharpen a student\u2019s own analytical judgment and make them more efficient as they provide advice to their clients in their first jobs after graduation.\n\nThroughout the course, students will learn the technical underpinnings of how generative AI can\u2014and cannot\u2014assist lawyers. They will master the construction of multi-layered, iterative prompts that leverage an LLM\u2019s strengths while accounting for its limitations in legal analysis. There will be an in-person final exam in addition to the prompt assignments.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 702 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/sidd-pattanayak\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Sidd Pattanayak<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 702 B1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/sidd-pattanayak\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Sidd Pattanayak<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-675\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 675<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Islamic Law<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 675<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIslamic Law\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This seminar introduces students to the sources, jurisprudential methodology, doctrines, actors and institutions, and operation of Islamic law from classical to modern times. Readings include primary sources--foundational texts, fatwas (legal opinions), case reports, and constitutional and statutory provisions--along with secondary sources that discuss the history and evolution of Islamic law, theories of Islamic legal interpretation, competing views of the meaning and application of Islamic law, and variations in the role Islamic law plays in the legal systems of today's Muslim-majority countries. Specific topics to be covered include: the roots of the law and the derivation of legal rules from those roots; the respective roles of scholars, judges, executive officials and other actors in determining and enforcing rules of Islamic law; judicial procedure and rules of evidence; reform and the reception of Western law in the 19th and 20th centuries; democracy, constitutionalism, and contemporary theories and forms of \"Islamic\" states; and Islamic law in the U.S. and other \"non-Muslim\" lands. Cases in criminal law, family law, Islamic finance, and other fields will provide opportunities for in-depth discussions of substantive Islamic law, and regular reference to both the common-law tradition and the modern American legal system will offer comparative perspectives. Grades will be based on class participation, short weekly writing assignments, and a take-home final examination paper. PREREQUISITE: None. No background in Islamic studies is required. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class does not satisfy the requirement.

Its interest in \u201cinner life\u201d is primarily restricted to questions of whether someone intended to commit a particular act. Jewish law similarly concerns itself with our behavior towards one another, often through a discourse of obligations, in addition to rights. Jewish law also applies legal-like reasoning inwardly, focusing on how living religiously transforms the individual and the community from the inside out. This course will focus on Jewish law to explore competing conceptions of law\u2019s purpose, the difference between divine and secular law, discourses of rights versus obligations, and the relationship between mysticism and reason. No prior knowledge of Jewish law, Hebrew, or Aramaic is necessary. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement.

Classes will provide a general overview of the opinion writing function with emphasis on topics such as opinion structure, judicial writing style, the relationship between style and substance, the use of narrative and rhetorical techniques, and ethical considerations in opinion writing. Through a series of writing assignments and in-class exercises, students will learn to how to diagnose and revise difficult and unclear writing, acquire techniques for writing more economically, precisely and unambiguously, and hone their skills in structuring and organizing, analyzing, and writing persuasively. In analyzing judicial opinions and writing from the perspective of a judge rather than an advocate, students will gain a deeper understanding of the judicial process and will become better critical readers and users of judicial opinions.

What are the principal arguments for originalism and criticisms of it? What are the major varieties of originalism and alternatives to it? Does originalist analysis of \u201ctext and history\u201d\u2014as many originalists claim\u2014avoid the need for normative judgments in constitutional interpretation? Or do originalists engage in \u201chistorical ventriloquism\u201d\u2014putting their normative arguments concerning text, history, and tradition in the mouths of historical framers, ratifiers, or lexicographers?\nWe will consider such issues in three constitutional law contexts: the right to bear arms; substantive due process; and freedom of speech. (1) Originalism and the right to bear arms. The Supreme Court has based its major decisions protecting an individual right to bear arms on originalism. Do Heller v. District of Columbia, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, and United States v. Rahimi vindicate originalism as yielding objective answers of historical fact about constitutional meaning or, to the contrary, do they suggest that history and originalism itself is a site of contestation between competing understandings of our constitutional commitments? How does the Court actually use history and tradition in these cases? (2) Originalism and basic liberties. The Court\u2019s decisions protecting or rejecting basic liberties under the Due Process Clause have vacillated between two competing approaches: a narrow conception of \u201chistory and tradition\u201d in Washington v. Glucksberg and Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization and a broader conception of tradition as a \u201cliving thing\u201d\u2014to be elaborated through \u201creasoned judgment\u201d in common law constitutional interpretation\u2014in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and Obergefell v. Hodges. Does protection of the right of pregnant persons to decide whether to terminate their pregnancies or the rights of same-sex couples to marry necessarily reject originalism in favor of a moral reading of the Constitution? How does the Court actually use history and tradition in denying rights in Glucksberg and Dobbs? In service of originalism as commonly understood or instead in support of conservative moralism and traditionalism? Does the Due Process Clause or the Equal Protection Clause provide the better ground for protecting such basic liberties? What are the criteria for deciding between these grounds? (3) Originalism and freedom of speech. Originalism is notably absent from the Court\u2019s decisions protecting freedom of speech, including those where it clashes with securing the status of equality for all, e.g., LGBTQ+ rights in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. What accounts for this absence? What might it suggest about the Court\u2019s \u201cselective originalism\u201d? Are there better ways of accommodating conflicts between such constitutional values than the Court\u2019s absolutist protection of freedom of speech to the exclusion of equality for all?\nUPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may be used to satisfy the requirement. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

This course will cover the basics of private sector labor law in the United States. We will study the National Labor Relations Act and the processes of union organizing and collective bargaining that the NLRA establishes. We will also consider historical perspectives on labor law, issues particular to public sector unions, union participation in the political process, the 'right to work,' and the ability of non-unionized workers to engage in concerted action. Finally, through the lens of labor law, the course will tackle issues of statutory interpretation, administrative law, and constitutional law. The materials are not intended to cover the legal rights of individual employees outside of the NLRA. Students interested in in-depth treatment of those topics are encouraged to take Employment Law and\/or Employment Discrimination instead of or in addition to this class. To enroll in this class, students must have completed Contract Law, Tort Law, and Constitutional Law.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 851 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/andrew-elmore\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Andrew Elmore<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-855\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 855<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">LAND USE<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 855<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLAND USE\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The built environment around us is not inevitable or by accident. It is the outcome of a series of legal and political choices about how people should live together; about how to regulate and control the future use of the property around them. These choices result in a legal regime that, at once, is enormously complex, implicates the most basic questions of equity and constitutional freedoms, and affects people in every aspect of their daily lives. This course will examine land use from a legal, historical, theoretical, and, most important, practical perspective. Students will be introduced to a brief history of land use controls in the United States. The course will then cover the basic aspects of land use law: Euclidean zoning, special use permits, variances, vested rights and preexisting uses, exactions, exclusionary and inclusionary zoning, subdivision control, wetlands control, and legal challenges to zoning decisions. The course will also look at more recent trends and issues in land use law, such as smart growth and transit-oriented development, form- based zoning, marijuana regulations, short-term rentals, climate change resilience, and increased federal control of local land use. Finally, the course will examine the constitutional limits of land use regulation under the Fifth Amendment. Students will undertake practical exercises to introduce them to how land use lawyers practice. They will attend a zoning board hearing and report on it; they will analyze a client's proposal to determine what zoning relief is necessary; they will attend a zoning trial or appeal. The course will cover general zoning principles applicable nationally but will focus on Massachusetts law for the practical exercises. The class will require student participation in discussion. The only prerequisite is completion of first-year Property. Students will produce a brief paper on the zoning board meeting they attend and a final paper, and be asked to comment on the trial or hearing they attend. Grading will be based on class participation, the zoning exercise, the comments, and the two papers.

Central to this examination will be: (1) the legal and social construction of race and racism as it pertains to Latinxs; (2) the racialized legal history of diverse ethnic groups including Chicanxs, Puerto Ricans, Cuban-Americans, and others; (3) constitutional and statutory civil rights law governing and impacting substantive areas such as education, employment, voting, public accommodations, speech, and immigration; and (4) the relationship between race, language, and notions of citizenship. A pervasive theme throughout the course will be the significance of race in the current era. This inquiry will be analyzed under modern civil rights perspectives of Traditionalism (e.g., advocating for colorblindness and \"reverse\" racism claims); Reformism (e.g., supporting modest reforms like limited affirmative action); and most pronouncedly Critical Race Theory (e.g., recognizing continued systemic subordination and envisioning structural reforms to increase racial justice). Students will produce and present an original research paper. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 830 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-673\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 673<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Law & Algorithms<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 673<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLaw & Algorithms\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This cross-cutting and interdisciplinary course, taught alongside a graduate-level course with BU's new faculty of Computing and Data Sciences, investigates the role that algorithms and automated decision-making systems play in law and society. The course connects legal and technical concepts of transparency, fairness, bias, privacy, and trust, though a series of case studies that present recent applications of technology to legal and regulatory situations and explore the challenges in regulating algorithms. Legal concepts explored will include evidence and expert witnesses, anti-discrimination law concepts of disparate impact and disparate treatment, sectoral information privacy regimes, and public access and transparency laws. Technical concepts explored will include artificial intelligence and machine learning, secure multi-party computation, differential privacy, and zero-knowledge proofs. Grades will be based on a series of assignments that correspond with each case study, to be completed collaboratively in mixed teams of law and computing\/data science students. No prior technology experience is required.

We will focus on both the just war tradition and contemporary international law, which include the law governing recourse to force (jus ad bellum) and the conduct of hostilities (jus in bello). Ad bellum topics generally include (1) the U.N. Charter framework for collective force under Security Council auspices; (2) the inherent or natural right of self-defense codified in Article 51 of the Charter; (3) ad bellum necessity and proportionality constraints on resort to force; (4) the novel and persistent challenge to the traditional jus ad bellum posed by diverse non-state belligerents and private armies (e.g., rebels, gangs, transnational terrorist networks, etc.) operating in the world today, all waging war in a legal and geopolitical environment that differs tremendously from the interstate paradigm that animated the drafters of the Charter in 1945; and (5) the associated topics of a state\u2019s alleged right to use force to rescue nationals taken hostage by or in a foreign state, humanitarian intervention, and the so-called responsibility to protect (R2P). Jus in bello topics deal with the legitimate means and methods of warfare. Specifically, we typically cover (6) non-combatant immunity; (7) military necessity, distinction, and proportionality (MNDP) principles; (8) perfidy, prohibited weapons, and other illegal means or methods of warfare; (9) cyberwar, autonomous weapons, drones, and weaponized artificial intelligence; (10) asymmetric warfare; and (11) supreme emergencies, that is, circumstances in which violating the letter of the law of war might be excused or justified.

How do legal institutions, legal concepts and rules establish the essential social relations for capitalism? How does capitalism shape black letter law and the structure of our legal institutions? We will tackle these questions theoretically and through a series of doctrinal case studies. That is, first we will delve into theories of capitalism to better understand how a range of scholars have described the relationship between state regulation and the capitalist mode of production. Second, we will also study capitalism in more concrete terms in the late 20th and early 21st century, through the rise of neoliberalism. Specifically, we will situate particular areas of law, like tax law, criminal law, environmental law, family law, money regulation, corporate law, constitutional law, sovereign lending \u2013 in scholarly debates and historical context to better understand how these enable, constrain and shape capitalist social relations. Throughout this course, we will examine the reproduction of group hierarchies, asymmetries, and antagonisms, and as expressed through class, race, gender, disability, and empire.

Although there are no pre-requisites, students should be prepared to understand basic substantive principles of antitrust, labor, intellectual property, agency, tort and contract law and how they have influenced the: (i) evolution of professional sports franchises and leagues; (ii) relationship between players and owners; and (iii) value of the product they produce and exhibit across various distribution platforms. Particular emphasis will be placed on how to translate substantive law into the practical advice sports clients require on a regular basis, including issues involving the interaction among leagues, franchises and athletes, and distinctions between assets owned and controlled by athletes, as opposed to those owned and exploited by leagues and owners. Assets controlled by game rightsholders, sponsors, venues and other licensees and vendors also will be analyzed, as will the ways unauthorized third parties try to capitalize on them. Grades will be based on oral class participation, written case and contract interpretation exercises and written advocacy. There is no examination. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may not be used to satisfy the requirement. OFFERING PATTERN: This class may not be offered every year. Students are advised to take this into account when planning their long-term schedule. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span>

Using a case-file based approach, students will work as law firm teams on a series of projects that simulate tasks of newly licensed lawyers in civil practice. Tasks are set in the context of foundational legal subjects (civil procedure, contracts, constitutional law, property, torts, and professional responsibility) to reinforce the fundamental doctrine tested on the bar exam in a practical context.\u00a0The course focus on \"case files\" will familiarize students with the type of performance tasks tested on both the current and Next Gen bar exam while also providing training on professional skills critical for the successful and meaningful practice of law. Students will also have an opportunity to discuss and explore the expectations of legal practice, with guest speakers from professional development and law firm roles. With limited enrollment, students will receive extensive individualized feedback, as well as practice on self-assessment and opportunity for peer collaboration.

Over the course of the semester, students will work on the various stages of a federal court litigation from pre-complaint investigation through dispositive motions. There will be opportunities to draft a variety of litigation documents, including complaints, discovery, motions, and research memos. Students will complete multiple drafts of key documents and will meet individually with the instructor to discuss the drafts. Students will focus on using the facts to tell their clients' story and making persuasive, winning arguments. In class, students will discuss a range of strategic questions including developing viable causes of action, identifying critical facts, and using written discovery to obtain information. Additionally, students will participate in several in-class exercises designed to improve the students' skills in writing, fact-gathering and argument. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This Dedicated Writing Class may be used to satisfy the requirement. RESTRICTION: Students may not enroll in both Legal Writing for Civil Litigation and Persuasive Writing: Trial Level (JD 713). ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

Students learn about the law-making process through coursework and hands-on experience working with a client seeking to advance a bill or project through the state legislature. Students work on several projects during the semester that highlight different aspects of the legislative process, allowing students to relate and test the theories discussed in class to real life situations. The in-class seminar covers subjects that affect the legislative process including: constitutional interpretation by legislatures, theories of representation, legislative organization and rules, lobbying, legislative oversight powers, and legislature-executive agency relationships. The clinic instructor works with students to select projects in the students' specific areas of interest, if any. In particular, students interested in business and tax, environment law, or health law, may specialize in those areas for the full semester. NOTE: This clinic counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement.

The course will cover the substantive and\/or doctrinal aspects of key areas of law in order to facilitate students' understanding of the general counsel's role in leading a company's legal function and advising key stakeholders, such as the board of directors and the CEO. The course will also orient students to the work environment in a large global enterprise and will cover the role of the general counsel in leading the company through the significant changes resulting from the new U.S. administration and the global response to those changes. Although the principles and concepts covered in this course will be generally applicable to most industries, the course will be taught through the lens of the life sciences industry. To facilitate discussion and dialogue, the class will be limited to 12 students. Planned guest speakers include a CEO and a member of the board of directors of a public company. Grading will be based on engagement (class participation and overall contributions to the classroom environment), a written memorandum to a \"CEO\" and an oral presentation to a \"board of directors.\"<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 928 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/eric-sherbet\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Eric Sherbet<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-TX-918\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW TX 918<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Life Cycle of a Business Venture<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW TX 918<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLife Cycle of a Business Venture\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The federal income tax laws significantly affect the way a business venture proceeds through the various stages of its life cycle.

They are designed to create cities and towns that reflect the ideal of the residents' view of the ideal community. When all local government entities are taken into consideration, there are approximately 89,000 local government units in the country - including counties, municipalities, townships, special districts and school districts. Where do they get their powers? What are the limits? What should be the limits? This course provides a study of the law governing the powers and duties of local governments, mainly municipal corporations such as cities and towns. We look at the sources of municipal powers, the limits on those powers, the relationship between municipalities and the state including the relationship between state and local law, and the formation and expansion of municipalities. An important subject of study involves looking at various models of the relationship between the municipality and the state including home rule. We will also look at some issues in municipal finance and zoning power.

We will start by mastering the basic concepts and techniques of facilitated negotiations, and work our way, using simulations and role plays, through successively more difficult mediation scenarios. These scenarios will be set in various legal contexts such as commercial, family, criminal, and international disputes. We will work together to develop your individual mediation skills and to learn effective mediation advocacy and settlement valuation. Through lectures, exercises, simulations and classroom discussions we will focus on the theoretical underpinnings that guide the mediation process and the skills related to communication, problem-solving and professional judgment. We will explore the ethical and professional issues related to mediation as well as the legal and cultural constructs that shape mediation practice. Because this course is experiential, students are required to attend all sessions and to participate actively. NOTE: This class counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may not be used to satisfy the requirement.

Through reading assignments and class discussions, students will develop a thorough understanding of the Mental Health Statute, the rules of evidence, and the case law that governs civil commitments and involuntary treatment. In addition, students will hone their trial advocacy skills by preparing a defense and defending their clients at bench trials. In preparation for trial, students will conduct client interviews, review medical records, identify their case theory driven by the client's story, prepare a defense, and engage expert witnesses to assist with their client's defense. At the bench trial, students will litigate motions, cross-examine the hospital's witnesses, direct-examine defense witnesses, and argue in closing that the hospital failed to meet their burden beyond a reasonable doubt.

They can be thought of as capitalism for the common man. As such, any scandal in the mutual fund industry affects investor-voters and can have implications for the capital markets, and the economy as a whole. The course will cover the main provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 that relate to mutual funds and will focus on investment company definition and status, fund structure, registration, disclosure and investment limitations, valuation and forward pricing, distribution practices, exchange offers, performance advertising, transactions with affiliates and conflicts of interest and compliance regimes. Exchange traded funds will also be examined as a contrast to mutual funds. Although the Pooled Funds and Investor Relations course is not a mandatory prerequisite, that course is highly recommended since the US Mutual Fund Regulation course will assume that students have taken (or will subsequently take) it. The mutual fund classes relating to fiduciary duties, the role of the fund board and management fees will not be discussed in this course. JD students are not permitted to enroll in the online (OL) section of any Banking course.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW BK 932 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/stuart-e-fross\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Stuart E.

In this highly interactive class, students will examine negotiation from a variety of perspectives and learn specific negotiation strategies and tactics. Over the course of the semester, students will engage in a series of negotiation exercises (i.e., role plays) through which they can develop and hone their negotiation skills and approaches. Discussion and short lectures will accompany the role-plays, as appropriate. There will be short written assignments as well as a longer paper due at the end of the semester. No final exam. ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 16 students. NOTE: This class counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This class does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option.

It is instead a process, ever evolving, to address its various contexts and constituencies. We will examine the relevant contexts -- Constitutional, international (WTO, OECD) and commercial -- and will engage in class discussions applying the rules within those frameworks. The objective is for students to gain enough grounding in the rules to start a path toward mastery, and to understand the drivers behind the rules so that students can apply them as they exist today, and analyze changes as they occur in the future.

This is a simulation course. Students will act as trial counsel in a federal civil action. The case will model a hypothetical patent case, from filing of the complaint to trial. The students will simulate motion practice, claim construction, depositions, as well as trial. The course will include some substantive instruction on patent law, but the focus of the course will be on experiential learning. Students will receive instruction on general litigation techniques relevant to presenting complex science and technologies to a judge or fact-finder. For example, students will learn how to utilize technology to facilitate their presentations during oral argument and in examining witnesses (e.g., through use of demonstratives). Students do not need to have a background in science or technology. Similarly, students do not need to have taken prior coursework in patent law. Enrollment will be limited to 12 students, who will be divided into plaintiff and defendant teams. Grades will be individualized and based on the following: participation in class discussion, simulations, and workshops; motion to dismiss argument; claim construction argument; deposition; and trial. PREREQUISITE Evidence (may be a corequisite for 3Ls). RECOMMENDED COURSES: Patent Law, Patent Litigation NOTE: This class counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement.

These payments can be made from person to person (P2P), business to business (B2B), customer to business (C2B), business to customer (B2C), person to government (P2G), government to person (G2P), or government to government (G2G). The technologies and media of exchange have grown from cash and checks to blockchain and biometrics. Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Venmo, Paypal, GooglePay, ApplePay, FedNow, Swift, ACH, SEPA, Bitcoin, USDC, and many others - all are ways to transfer value between different parties. These discrete payment systems, and the transmission of payments between the parties involved, are governed by separate and distinct practices and protocols (\"rails\"), which are embodied, to an ever greater extent, in agreements, terms and conditions of use, laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines. From various Credit Card Network rules to NACHA Operating Rules, ETA Guidelines, PCI DSS, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, UDAAP, FinCEN Prepaid Access Rule, state Money Transmitter laws, NY Bitlicense, and countless others - there is a lot to unpack and understand. This course provides an introduction to how those payments systems operate and the separate rules, regulations, agreements, customs and practices that govern them.

Students will draft a variety of trial-level documents designed to persuade, including a demand letter, a statement of the facts, a memorandum in support of a motion for summary judgment, and a reply memo. Legal research will be necessary for these assignments, but the emphasis will be on analysis and writing. Students will complete multiple drafts of these documents, meet individually with the instructors to discuss the drafts, and engage in peer editing of their classmates' papers to improve their own writing skills. The class will also include discussions of persuasive writing strategies, comparisons of examples of good and bad persuasive writing, and in-class writing exercises. Students will be graded on the basis of their written work and their peer editing work. Students will engage in oral presentation and advocacy in this course. There will be no final exam.

In exposing students to writings from political science, history, law, and sociology, this interdisciplinary seminar has several objectives. First, students will learn how to recognize when conditions are favorable for modern presidents to meaningfully alter the substance of constitutional law, statutory law, and individual rights, along with institutional arrangements within the administrative state. Second, students will explore the social conditions\u2014within bureaucracies and society as a whole\u2014that must prevail for an administration to make legal transformation a priority. Third, students will ponder what constraints exist on presidentially-led projects of major legal change, whether they are effective, and whether new constraints would be wise. Fourth, students will learn how to think more deeply about questions of legality\u2014constitutional and otherwise\u2014given the reality of significant discretion and degree of actual historical change. Grading will be based primarily on three papers of roughly 2,500 words each (60%), as well classroom participation (40%). UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: With the instructor\u2019s permission, a single research paper (6,000 words) can be written in lieu of the short papers to satisfy the requirement. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

Students in the practicum will learn to teach a class about the criminal legal process to incarcerated individuals who are facing criminal charges in local Massachusetts jails and prisons. The students will cement their own understanding of criminal procedures by having to prepare to teach others, and also learn invaluable information from the class participants who have been navigating the legal system themselves and have insight on what the process is like to someone accused of a crime. Students will practice their legal research skills and gain confidence in their understanding of the law and legal process while participating in the practicum.

What duty does the prosecutor owe to a victim? To the police? To the public at large? How might those parties' interests conflict with a prosecutor's objectives and impact prosecutorial decisions? A major focus of this course will be the prosecutor's obligations to the accused and the various ways in which those duties are breached. We will examine the consequences of prosecutorial misconduct, the ways in which it may or may not be remedied, and to what extent it can be deterred. Other topics to be covered include the relationship between the prosecutor and the grand jury, conflicts of interest, selective prosecution, trial misconduct, prosecutorial immunity, mandatory minimum sentences, the use of confidential informants and cooperating witnesses, discovery of exculpatory evidence, post-conviction obligations, and wrongful convictions. Our study will draw heavily from historical as well as current events, and will include emphasis on the ways in which the role of the prosecutor is shifting. Students will engage in mock disciplinary hearings, playing the role of bar counsel in bringing allegations of misconduct against prosecutors or defending them against such claims.

The field of public health law has transformed from state programs that prevent disease in populations (e.g., vaccination, sanitation) to federal and international efforts to broadly recognize both a population and an individual \"right to health.\" This course explores contemporary examples of public health problems such as disasters and emergencies, regulating firearms, monitoring commercial speech to prevent consumer deception, and changing laws addressing reproductive health. The course offers a framework for identifying and controlling public health risks by drawing on principles and theories of law, precise assessment of risk, policy evaluation, and health services research, data, and other evidence. We will consider how laws at the state and federal levels regulate subjects such as personal behavior, the built environment, and products, and consequently impact the underlying determinants of health. We will analyze different legal strategies that may be used to guide public health directly or indirectly, such as spending, criminal and civil prohibitions, data collection, and taxation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 926 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>11:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:25 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/nicole-huberfeld\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Nicole Huberfeld<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-875\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 875<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">PUBLIC INTEREST LAW<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 875<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPUBLIC INTEREST LAW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Public interest legal practice takes many forms. It can involve government agencies, non-profit organizations, private law firms doing pro bono work, public defender's office, labor unions, and inter-governmental organizations, among others. It can take the form of litigation, transactional work, policy-related work, or legislative advocacy. Also, attorneys adopt varied models of public interest lawyering, including approaches known as community lawyering, cause lawyering, and movement lawyering. This seminar engages through readings, guest speakers, and class discussion to examine the various approaches to public interest lawyering. Students will explore how to define the \"public interest\" and learn different models for public interest lawyering. Students also will gain familiarity with the different substantive areas of public interest law, organizational settings for public interest practice, and modes of public interest advocacy. Many class sessions will include a guest faculty member or a guest attorney who will present a sample of their public interest work in connection with class themes. There will also be time dedicated to discussing speaker presentations. Students will be required to submit short reaction papers to the readings and presentations and perform an in-class oral presentation based on class themes.

We will also critically examine the role that law has played in creating, maintaining, sustaining, and resisting various systems of power in the United States. Together, we will analyze varying propositions stemming from our legal system, like the claim of systemic oppression, the existence of an egalitarian legal system, and the systemic nature of racial injustice. Moreover, we will examine what role law has played in influencing the conception of race and the settings in which race operates. We will approach these questions through the lens of territorial expansion in the United States, focusing on major movements in the fields of Federal Indian Law, territorial governance, and the Supreme Court\u2019s interpretation of the Reconstruction Amendments.

The Clinic offers students the opportunity to provide legal support to organizations, coalitions, and grassroots groups seeking to challenge forms of subordination and build community power. Clinic fieldwork will vary based on the goals of our clients and movement partners but may involve litigation, policy advocacy, legal research, public education, or infrastructure\/capacity-building projects. Under the clinic director\u2019s supervision, students act as the lead attorneys on these projects, meaning that students will be responsible for establishing relationships with partners, identifying project goals, drafting agreements, and executing projects. In this process, students will learn to, among other things: develop litigation and non-litigation strategies; critically analyze the role of lawyers in social movements; identify different theories of social change; engage in legal writing that is persuasive and well-supported by evidence; and communicate complex legal subjects to a range of audiences.

This seminar introduces students to skills and theoretical frameworks that can support their lawyering practice and invites students to engage in critical reflection regarding their clinical fieldwork. Topics covered in the seminar may include, for example: theories of change, interviewing and storytelling, ethical practice, fact development for litigation, interpreting and using data and social science research, and oral advocacy. We will also analyze the structural conditions that we face in our fieldwork and consider whether and how we, as lawyers, can support the imagination of new possibilities through generative collaborations with clients and community partners. Throughout the semester, students will have the opportunity to: present mock legislative testimony or engage in a mock oral argument related to their fieldwork; deliver a class presentation on a topic pertaining to social justice and the law; and participate in in case rounds practice, which entails sharing challenges that come up in our fieldwork and engaging in group-based problem-solving.

This course is designed to familiarize students with the legal and regulatory framework of the investment management industry, and the role of the Securities and Exchange Commission in regulating the industry. The course focuses on the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 and examines how these statutes, along with other federal and state laws, govern the formation, distribution and management of investment-related products and services, including mutual funds, hedge funds and private equity and venture capital funds.  We will also discuss whether and how these laws apply to the management of different varieties of crypto assets.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 852 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:55 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/roger-joseph\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Roger Joseph<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-802\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 802<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Regulation of Drugs and Medical Devices<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 802<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRegulation of Drugs and Medical Devices\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This seminar examines the Food and Drug Administration as an administrative agency combining law and science to regulate activities affecting public health and safety.

Remedies is devoted to developing that latter understanding. In this course, we will explore the legal powers and limits for righting those who have been wronged and for preventing future wrongs. This course includes both public law and private law remedies with a particular focus on social justice and remedial topics that are generally not covered within the 1L curriculum or other required courses. In addition to helping to prepare students for bar examinations (which often test for remedies in civil procedure, contracts, property, and torts), examining remedial principles in this course will be useful to those encountering remedies problems in litigation across substantive fields. This course also covers historically-important and current, hot topics such as reparations, impact injunctions against governmental defendants (so-called \"nationwide\" or \"universal\" injunctions), and court-debt related remedies (such as litigation challenging drivers' license suspensions due to nonpayment of fines).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 720 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:15 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/stephen-m-donweber\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Stephen M.

Through partnerships with reproductive justice organizations, health clinics, advocacy groups, and legal organizations, students will develop practical legal skills while meaningfully contributing to the movement. Students can anticipate working on issues ranging from abortion access, maternal health equity, gender-affirming care, sex education, crisis pregnancy centers, and other pervasive issues communities face when accessing reproductive healthcare.\n\nThe primary goals of the Reproductive Justice Practicum are to: \n(1) Understand and apply the reproductive justice framework to analyze legal and policy issues \nimpacting reproductive healthcare access and bodily autonomy. \n(2) Develop practical legal and non-legal skills critical to reproductive justice advocacy.\n(3) Engage with community partners in culturally competent and trauma-informed ways. \n(4) Master the ability to critically analyze the intersections of race, class, gender, disability, and \nother identifies in reproductive health, law, and policy. \n(5) Contribute substantively to ongoing reproductive justice work in the field. \n\nPracticum fieldwork varies in both subject matter and skills development according to the goals of our community partners; however, students can anticipate engaging in any of the following: litigation, policy research and advocacy, legal research, public education, storytelling, and infrastructure\/capacity building, among others. Under the Practicum director\u2019s supervision, students will act as the lead attorneys on these projects and spend the semester establishing relationships with project partners, identify project goals, draft agreements, and execute projects. Through this process, students will develop professional identities, explore how they can most effectively show up for community partners, and better understand how to put into practice key principles of reproductive justice.

This course explores the role of law in understanding the distribution of access to SRH services and care. We will draw on various theoretical and doctrinal tools including critical legal theory, critical race theory, sociology of science, human rights, feminist theory, and a range of public health methods to understand the current state of the law and the possibilities and limitations of legal reforms. The course will foreground issues of race and reproduction as well as the politics of public health law (including the role of scientific evidence and medical expertise in courts).

class=\"description\">Practicing law in-house is often done at the tension point of enterprise growth and risk mitigation. This course explores the unique aspects of working as a lawyer within an organization's internal legal department. In order to provide a realistic appreciation and understanding of the role of in-house counsel, the course will utilize scenario-based group tutorials and simulations in which students will act as in-house counsel for a fictitious company in a specific industry. Areas covered may include contractual and employment matters, regulatory, compliance, internal investigations, enterprise risk questions and advising the Board of Directors and senior management. While the course will involve the substantive law of various areas relevant to the fictitious company's business and operations, the focus of the course will be on practicing and building lawyering skills that are critical for effective and ethical in-house practice. These include identifying and analyzing legally viable alternatives, and making recommendations, for the company to pursue to carry-out its business strategy and mitigate risks, as well as written and oral communications and presentations reflecting the same. As an overarching theme, the course will consider how to balance the important role of lawyer and trusted business advisor with the backdrop of the ever-present ethical and reputational considerations of the enterprise. This course is designed to provide students with practical skills (as well as opportunities to use and apply them) as they learn to identify and navigate the day-to-day challenges of the modern corporate counsel. Grades in the course will be based on scenario-based responses (presentation and\/or written), a collaborative final group presentation, and in-class participation. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students. NOTE: This course counts toward the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar will be administratively dropped from the course. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first class to be considered for enrollment. Because the course involves regular in-class exercises, some of which are done in teams, and class participation is a significant component of a student's final grade, regular class attendance is essential and thus the course normally does not accommodate flexibility in attendance. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 978 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/daniel-layo\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Daniel Layo<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-805\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 805<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Secured Transactions<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 805<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSecured Transactions\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Many commercial and consumer financing transactions involve the creation of security interests in the borrower's personal property that are akin to mortgages of real property. (Indeed, much commercial activity involves the grant of a UCC Article 9 security interest, and the economic system depends on Article 9 to provide much of the law against which modern commerce takes place.) In a secured transaction, in the event of the borrower's default, the lender can foreclose on the collateral subject to the security interest to help liquidate the debt. While simple to describe, secured transactions and the rules that govern them can be complex. This course covers the basic secured transaction governed by Article 9 of the UCC. Topics covered will include creation and perfection of security interests, priority contests, and default. The course is an excellent precursor to Bankruptcy and often helpful when sitting for the bar exam. PREREQUISITE\/COREQUISITE: Business Fundamentals.

We will examine how the securities laws shape the process by which companies raise capital through IPOs, public offerings, and private placements. We will also focus on the mandatory disclosure regime for publicly traded companies and the related topics of securities fraud, insider trading, market manipulation, and shareholder voting. We will study core concepts such as the definition of a security and materiality. Finally, we will spend significant time examining the role of the SEC and private shareholder litigation in policing the securities laws.

Securitization involves the creation and issuance of notes or other forms of securities backed by one or more assets which generate cash flows sufficient to fund the timely payment of the principal and interest due on the securities. The securities are also usually issued by special-purpose bankruptcy-remote vehicles to insulate the assets from the risk of bankruptcy. This feature, combined with cash reserve accounts, overcollateralization and other features, achieves the \"alchemy\" of converting unrated assets into investment grade securities. These transactions often cut across many areas of legal specialization, including bank regulation, securities regulation, taxation, bankruptcy, and real estate and corporate law. In addition to teaching the elements of these various legal disciplines that are applied to securitization transactions, this course is unique among securitization courses offered at other law schools in the U.S. in that it involves the students in a series of real or hypothetical case studies that require the application of these legal disciplines to the process of structuring actual securitization transactions. In addition to residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and trade receivable securitizations, this course also explores some of the more cutting-edge securitizations of more esoteric asset classes, including legal fees, patents, trademarks and copyrights, as well as securitization of whole businesses. The course also examines the role of the irresponsible use of securitization technology in the 2008 financial collapse and the reform measures that were adopted in response, as well as the emergence of \"impact\" securitization in the form of solar asset securitization and use of securitization to finance development of life-saving drugs.

As the US Supreme Court becomes less willing to protect rights such as abortion, or even the processes of democracy, lawyers must turn to the protections offered by state constitutions more often. State constitutional provisions also differ from the US Constitution in significant ways by not only protecting a plethora of different individual rights, but also defining communal welfare, and highlighting the conditions necessary to maintain a democracy.\n\nThis course will explore the nature and significance of state constitutional law, including rights and government structures defined by the state constitutions. This course will cover how state institutions, such as legislatures and courts, protect and define legal rights and obligations in several areas, including: separation of powers, local government powers, school funding, taxation, criminal procedure, and freedom of speech. The course will also compare how state courts interpret their constitutions to federal court interpretation of the US Constitution.\n\nA student completing the course will understand and appreciate the role of state constitutions and if the states are, in Justice Brandeis\u2019 words, \u201claboratories of democracy,\u201d how state constitutions create and govern those laboratories. Assessment will take place in class when discussing readings and assigned exercises; through the written assignments, which include a legal blog article and an essay between 3,000-4,000 words; and a final exam. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: The written assignments may be used to partially satisfy the requirement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 952 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:55 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/sean-j-kealy\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Sean J.

In the first week of class, we will read a set of pending certiorari petitions and vote as a class on whether we would grant the petition. (Petitions and background readings will be available on the course website.) Each student will be responsible for writing a brief memorandum in one case on whether the Court should grant the petition. Thereafter, each week, the class will read materials in preparation to discuss one or two cases pending on the merits, including its lower court opinion, the briefs from each party and selected amicus briefs. Prior to each class session, each student will be responsible for writing a brief memo (no more than a paragraph or two on each case) briefly stating how they would decide the case or cases for that week and why. Students will also be responsible for drafting one 20-25 page Supreme Court opinion and one 3-5 page dissenting opinion (either from their own opinion or someone else's) to be distributed to and discussed by the class. NOTE: Students registered for this seminar are encouraged to choose a case from the Court's docket during Fall Semester and take the lead on writing the opinion in that case. Students who do not choose a case in advance will be assigned one at the first class meeting. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may be used to satisfy the requirement; two drafts and research on secondary sources is required. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 903 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jack-m-beermann\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jack M.

The strategies for selling a business are often implemented from the moment the business entity is originally formed. The course will examine the crucial strategies, from choice of entity, to conducting ongoing operations, to the correct way to change or restructure existing C corporations, S corporations and other entities. The course will also examine the best way to structure a sale of a particular business, based on both the form of legal entity and on the specific facts in a case. For example, the course will compare a sale of stock to a sale of assets; will compare a sale for cash to a tax free transaction or part-cash, part-stock transaction; and compare the differences between a sale with immediate payment versus a possible installment sale.

However, because the IP revolution has occurred in only the last 25 years, many of the traditional principles of income taxation are not easily applied to IP assets. This course will explore the tax aspects of creating intellectual property, buying intellectual property, exploiting IP through leases and licenses, and strategies for selling valuable IP rights with the best tax results. The course will also explore important international tax issues, including the so called \"migration\" of IP offshore, cost-sharing arrangements, and other mechanisms that seek to \"locate\" IP and the associated tax liabilities in tax-favorable jurisdictions. The course will teach the tax differences between copyrighting and patenting a software program, the right and wrong ways to license and sell a trademark, and the mechanisms for turning a \"license\" into a \"sale\" and thereby converting ordinary income into capitol gains.

Statutes, regulations and agency issuances interact to create a thickly layered set of legal precedents. This class will explore the resources a tax professional would use to perform his or her research from legislative history to private letter rulings. Students will become familiar with the research platforms outside of Lexis and Westlaw that are commonly used in practice. Students will get practice in using many of the most heavily used practice materials. Classes will combine instruction and hands-on exercises using the major print and electronic resources available for tax law research. Students will be required to complete an assignment for each class.

We start with the building blocks of debt and equity, move on to the \"derivatives\" level of options and notional principal contracts (swaps), and conclude with exotica such as currency products. In each instance we will first look at the financial characteristics of the security (after the fashion of an MBA offering in corporate finance), and then study the tax rules governing each class of instrument. Because discounting (net present value) and \"pay off\" diagrams are so central to an understanding of financial instruments, the course incorporates a rigorous study of these mathematical tools. Also, when studying the tax rules applicable to financial products, we focus on the fundamental building blocks of taxation -- amount, timing, character, and source -- to reveal underlying policy and theory tensions that go to the very root of our income taxation system. The course is intended to complement TX 949 Taxation of Financial Products: Principles and Application, and may be taken either prior or subsequent to that class or on a stand alone basis. Pre or Co-requisite: Federal Income Taxation I and II.

This course bridges the gap between traditional legal education and the technological competencies required in modern law firms, corporate legal departments, and solo practices.\nStudents will gain foundational footing on how AI is reshaping the labor market, and most importantly, the practice of law. You will explore legal practice within the growing number of \u201cAI-Native\u201d law firms that are disrupting the legal status quo. You will study and, where applicable, access and use leading-edge AI tools that are transforming core legal functions including legal research, e-discovery, contract analysis, brief writing, and client advisory services. Beyond substantive legal work, the course explores how AI is revolutionizing the business of law\u2014from client development and marketing to talent recruitment and development.\nThrough a combination of demonstrations, practical exercises, case studies, and guest speakers from leading law firms and legal tech companies, students will develop both technical skills and strategic judgment about when and how to deploy AI tools effectively and ethically. The course emphasizes practical application: students will use AI tools to complete realistic legal tasks, critically evaluate AI outputs for accuracy and bias, and understand the ethical obligations surrounding AI use in legal practice.\nBy the end of this course, students will be equipped to leverage AI in their legal careers while maintaining the professional judgment, ethical standards, and client-centered approach that define excellent lawyering. The course will culminate in a capstone group project that involves students taking the persona of Head of AI of a legal institution of their choosing \u2013 law firm, in-house dept, law school, etc. \u2013 and developing a PowerPoint presentation (10 slides or less) of a workplace AI Strategy Plan.  PREREQUISITES: None.

Specifically, this seminar considers the nature and function of law through the lens of sociological theory. It introduces students to major jurisprudential traditions, including natural law, legal positivism, legal realism, and critical theory. It also engages major strands of sociological theory, including Durkheim, Weber, phenomenology, feminist theory, and postcolonial theory. Together, these intellectual traditions invite students to consider enduring questions about the nature of law, the demands of justice, and the relationship between law, culture, and social life. In their final paper, students will be expected to apply one or more theories to an emerging area of legal doctrine or practice. UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may be used to satisfy the requirement. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

This two-credit elective examines what AI is and how it works, and how emerging AI technologies intersect with civil, criminal, administrative, and constitutional law. The course will explore topics such as liability for autonomous systems; algorithmic decision making in government and private markets; proof, causation, and evidence; personhood; bias and profiling; authorship and IP; morality and professional responsibility; and ultimately how AI is and should be regulated through litigation, legislation, and agency action.  While we discuss how AI works, algorithms, and related matters, no technical background is required.

Trade secrets, alongside contractual restrictions on information sharing and employee mobility (such as non-disclosure and non-compete agreements), can constitute some of the most valuable and contested assets of a modern venture. Situated at the collision point between intellectual property and employment law, this course evaluates the sources, mechanics, uses, and misuses of modern confidentiality governance. Students will be expected to evaluate contractual terms, assess policy arguments in favor of broader or narrower confidentiality protections, and explore the interrelationships between trade secrets law and areas including contract, tort, and constitutional law.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 793 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/ari-lipsitz\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Ari Lipsitz<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-780\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 780<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Trademark and Unfair Competition<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 780<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTrademark and Unfair Competition\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will examine the principles of trademark and unfair competition law.

Collaborative activity is essential to the biopharmaceutical industry due to the high costs and risks associated with drug development. In this course, students will learn how to read, draft, and negotiate collaboration agreements for new drug research, development and commercialization partnerships between biopharmaceutical companies. The course will begin with a brief introductory overview of (i) the biotechnology industry, with a focus on the importance of partnering for successful drug development and commercialization; and (ii) different forms of partnering agreements to develop a general understanding of the structure of such contracts. For the duration of the course, students will be assigned to teams to review, revise and negotiate the terms of a collaboration agreement for their clients, either a large pharmaceutical company or a smaller biotechnology company. Students will learn to think critically about whether certain provisions favor one party or the other, and ways to modify such elements through drafting changes. At the conclusion of the course, each team will be asked to present the key terms of the proposed collaboration agreement to their client's board of directors. Through regular out-of-class assignments, including substantial drafting assignments involving marking up term sheets, preparing issues lists, revising key sections of the collaboration agreement that will be negotiated and finalized by the student teams, and delivering board presentations, the course builds contract analysis, drafting, negotiation and strategic thinking skills students will need as they enter transactional law practice. The course also addresses various ethical issues that may arise in connection with these types of transactions and in transactional practice generally. The course grade will be based on individual participation, drafting assignments, and contributions to team efforts. Please note that no scientific background is necessary for this course as we will not be focusing on the scientific rationale for collaborations. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students. PREREQUISITE: Contract Drafting is recommended, but not required. NOTES: This course counts toward the 6-credit Experiential Learning requirement and also satisfies the Transaction Simulation requirement of the Transactional Practice Concentration. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option.

The simulated transaction is the formation and subsequent first-round venture financing of a new software business started by two entrepreneurs who are recent graduates of the California Institute of Technology. During this course, students will be exposed to, and will handle, the principal issues that arise in counseling entrepreneurs as to their emerging businesses, including key elements such as founders' arrangements, entity selection, governance, equity compensation, intellectual property protection, capital raising through SAFEs (which are simple agreements for future equity), convertible notes and preferred stock financing, capitalization\/valuation\/dilution and investment documentation based on industry-standard contracts. Through exercises both in and outside of class, as well as class discussions, students will simulate the work of practicing attorneys who counsel start-ups and their founders on a day-to-day basis. As part of these simulations, students will review sample agreements, draft and revise agreements and conduct negotiations. In addition, from time to time during the course, the instructors will address ethical issues and other practice points that can arise in connection with the simulated transaction or in transactional practice generally when working with emerging\/start-up companies. The course grade will be based on attendance and class participation and three graded writing assignments. CLASS SIZE: 12 students. PREREQUISITE OR CO-REQUISITE: Corporations. Contract Drafting is recommended but not required. NOTES: This course counts toward the 6-credit Experiential Learning requirement and also satisfies the Transaction Simulation requirement of the Transactional Practice Concentration. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar will be administratively dropped from the course. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first class to be considered for enrollment. Because the course involves regular in-class exercises, some of which are done in teams, and class participation is a significant component of a student's final grade, regular class attendance is essential and thus the course cannot accommodate flexibility in attendance. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2027:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 789 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 11th to Apr 21st 2027<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/dinesh-melwani\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Dinesh Melwani<\/a>Perkins<\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-JD-784\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW JD 784<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Transaction Simulation: Rise and Fall of a Syndicated Loan<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW JD 784<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTransaction Simulation: Rise and Fall of a Syndicated Loan\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">Practice Areas: General Business, Banking\/Finance, Corporate Governance and Restructuring This course is one of the semester-long transaction simulations offered as part of the Transactional Law Program. The simulated transaction is the structuring, negotiation and documentation, and subsequent restructuring of a $1.7 billion secured, syndicated commercial loan to a large, privately held medical testing company (the \"Company\"). The Company's primary purpose for seeking this loan is to use the proceeds to pay an extraordinary dividend to its founder and controlling shareholder and to several private equity firms which own stock in the Company (often referred to as a \"dividend recap loan\"). The course will explore some of the key issues, and students will perform several of the principal tasks, which transactional lawyers specializing in general business, banking\/finance, corporate governance and\/or restructuring must consider and carry out in advising corporate clients and financial institutions in a transaction of this kind. These tasks will include advising the Company's board of directors and officers or prospective lenders in evaluating whether to engage in the dividend recap loan transaction, the steps needed to obtain corporate approval of such transaction given that certain board members who are also shareholders will benefit from it, and structuring, negotiating and documenting these types of transactions. The course will also examine the critical role certain provisions of the credit and security agreements for the loan play following the loan closing when serious problems and potential events of default arise leading to a restructuring of the original loan. Finally, the course will consider various ways a troubled loan can be restructured either through an out-of-court consensual transaction or a Chapter 11 restructuring. The course grade will be based on class participation and graded drafting assignments. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students. PREREQUISITE OR CO-REQUISITE: Corporations. Contract Drafting is recommended, but not required.

The simulated transaction is the 2020 \u201cgo-private\u201d transaction pursuant to which Dunkin' Brands was de-listed as a public company and taken private through an acquisition by a privately-owned buyer. This course will provide students the experience of being junior lawyers working on the Dunkin\u2019 go-private through simulations of elements of the transaction, with different areas of focus each week of the course. Students will engage in group and individual simulation work on topics including how a public company\u2019s leadership team communicates with prospective buyers in compliance with selective disclosure and other regulatory requirements, directors\u2019 fiduciary duties to shareholders, SEC reporting requirements, go shop\/no shops, break-up fees, fairness opinions and the dynamics and challenges of working with a private equity buyer. Students will also practice counseling skills relating to how a public company management team interacts with its board, how and when to engage with a public company\u2019s employees without disclosing inside information, how lawyers work best with financial advisors and boards of directors and considerations of risk in the context of a no-indemnity transaction. Because the acquisition of a public company has fulsome disclosure documents, including the proxy statement, the simulation will allow for research, study, discussion and simulation of actual issues that arose in the transaction. The course grade will be based on class participation and graded drafting assignments. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students.

Students will learn to navigate the statutory and regulatory frameworks of transactional areas of the law like tax, banking, securities and other practice areas. They will research agency guidance, use specialized practice materials and search for filings and company information, among other research tasks. Legal information and technologies in these area are constantly changing and new lawyers should be familiar with the most recent research techniques and tools. Classes will combine instruction and hands-on exercises using major print, electronic, and web based resources for securities law research.

We will help students build on the research strategies they learned in Lawyering, but also teach them how to start with a set of facts and identify research questions to be addressed, the authoritative weight of relevant sources, and the search terms and strategies that are most efficient and economical in each situation. Central to both practice and NextGen Bar testing is the ability to effectively communicate research findings. This course will not only cover the research process and sources, but also teach students how to clearly communicate their research process and explain the results of their research. We will also include instruction on law practice technology, and on using Generative AI in legal practice. \nThe class will be taught as a skills class, with significant class preparation, in-class hypotheticals, and simulation-type assignments. With an eye towards how research will be assessed on the NextGen Bar, we will also include many issue-spotting and research-process exercises.

A close reading of the Code and regulations will be expected as well as a detailed consideration of the major transfer pricing decisions. There is no other assigned text. The theme of this course is to bring students to an understanding of how the law has developed in this area focusing closely on the interplay between case law and regulatory enactments. Students should expect to encounter a reasonable amount of supporting economic and accounting analysis as they work their way through the course, and come to an appreciation of how this area of the tax law relies considerably on the blending of these three analytical perspectives.

Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, a competition for law students to foster the study and practice of international commercial sales law and arbitration. Students from all countries are eligible (students from over 80 jurisdictions typically participate). The Moot involves a dispute arising out of a contract of sale between two countries that are party to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The contract provides that any dispute that might arise is to be settled by arbitration in Danubia, a country that has enacted the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and is a party to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The arbitral rules to be applied rotate yearly among the arbitration rules of co-sponsoring institutions of the Moot. Students will learn the fundamentals of international commercial arbitration and international sales law. Students will then engage in an in-depth analysis of the Moot case, including identifying issues, researching those issues, and drafting arguments and counterarguments. Students will work together to draft and critique a memorandum for the Claimant and Respondent, and to prepare oral arguments. Ultimately, 4 to 6 students enrolled in the class will be selected to compete as members of BU Law\u2019s Vis Moot Court team in the spring. The other students enrolled in the course will help prepare arguments, moot the team, and participate in pre-moots. Prerequisite\/Co-requisite (can be waived with permission of the Instructor): International Law Research (JD 707). Recommended courses: International Business Arbitration (JD 980) or International Business Transactions (JD 842).

In particular, this seminar will critically examine the prevalence of mental distress and substance abuse in the profession and develop meaningful, lasting solutions to these issues.  Unlike most well-being classes that are applied (i.e., focus on mindfulness and other self-care techniques), this course is uniquely designed for students to look at well-being issues from a critical, scholarly lens.  Specific topics include: the scope of the problem of mental distress and substance abuse in the legal profession; causes of law student and lawyer ill-being; steps taken to promote well-being in legal education and the profession; the economic case for promoting well-being; critiques of the so-called \u201cwell-being movement\u201d; the physical effects of lawyer ill-being; the effect of vicarious trauma on lawyer ill-being; the role diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging plays in promoting lawyer well-being; and the future of well-being in legal education and the legal profession.  Students will engage in discussion and reflection and will also write an extensive paper and do a formal oral presentation of their paper topic for the class.  The material in this course can be graphic and emotionally challenging but is nonetheless required.  Therefore, all students should carefully gauge their tolerance for this difficult material before choosing to take this class.  UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: Students may satisfy the requirement in part with a 3,000-word paper or in full with a 6,000-word paper.  ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar, or obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.  Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW JD 856 A1,<\/span> <span>Aug 31st to Dec 3rd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/jarrod-f-reich\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Jarrod F.

What exactly is it, and what laws govern it? Who represents whistleblowers, and what is there to know about lawyering in this space? This course will examine federal (and some state) laws that protect and incentivize whistleblowers to provide information and assist in the enforcement of laws prohibiting fraud and misfeasance in both the public and private sectors. It will cover both the substantive law as well as the practical aspects of lawyering in this field. There are two types of whistleblower laws, and the seminar will cover both: 1) laws which protect whistleblowers inside and outside of government from retaliation by their employers for having engaged in protected activity, and 2) laws which provide financial incentives to whistleblowers for reporting fraud against the government, or fraud in the securities and commodities markets. Each student will write a paper based on a whistleblower case and will be encouraged to interview one or more whistleblowers who have gone through the experience and\/or whistleblower attorneys who have a substantial practice in this area. Alternatively, students who express a particular interest in an area relevant to the course may get permission to explore that topic in their paper. There is no examination in this course; the grade is based on the paper and the students' participation in the class discussions UPPER-CLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: A limited number of students may use this class to satisfy the requirement. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

The course will review: (i) the theoretical bases of modern white collar criminal prosecution; (ii) the major statutes used by prosecutors, including mail and wire fraud, securities fraud, bribery and extortion, obstruction of justice, perjury, and RICO; and (iii) the procedural aspects of white collar crime such as grand jury, attorney\/client privilege, and sentencing. Students will learn the prosecutorial and defense techniques employed in significant recent white collar cases. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be familiar with the statutes, procedures, and legal analyses employed by prosecutors and private lawyers in white collar criminal practice.

Students will be required to do multiple drafts of each assignment to allow for feedback and improvement on student writing. Additionally, there will be an emphasis on understanding the different audiences for each assignment (client, tax partner, government authority, etc.) and the relevant considerations in writing to each audience. Students will also be required to research and write the client letter and supporting memorandum in response to the problem set issued by the ABA Law Student Tax Challenge (submission to the competition is optional).

We will consider the ways numeric age and conceptions of maturity influence responses to a range of legal issues. Topics may include: the rights of youth to familial or state support in obtaining housing and other material goods; the relationship between youth and commercial actors or other third parties ranging from the infancy doctrine to social media platforms; parental authority and responsibilities in healthcare and educational decision-making; the treatment of youth in the criminal legal system; the civic spheres of military service, voting, and jury duty; child labor laws; the consequences of the age of majority; and ages of privilege such as driving and access to alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis. We will read together for the first portion of the course. To assess reading, students may be asked to make quick presentations about the day's readings individually or on teams, to submit weekly reading responses, and\/or to answer quick written questions about the reading at the start of class. As we unpack frameworks underneath youth law, we will consider research projects in light of the frameworks we develop. In the final portion of the course, students will offer oral presentations of their chosen youth-related topic, and submit a ten page paper after their presentation. The presentation and the paper account for half of the grade, while participation, including attendance, discussion, and preparation\/reading assessment, account for the other half. For the first two-thirds of the semester, this is a reading intensive course.\n\nA student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment. UPPERCLASS WRITING REQUIREMENT: This class may be used to partially satisfy the requirement.

In this highly interactive class, students will examine a variety of dispute resolution processes, other than traditional court adjudication, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, dispute system design and restorative justice. Over the course of the semester, students will engage in a series of exercises (i.e., role-plays) through which they can develop and hone their skills and approaches to dispute resolution. Discussion and short lectures will accompany the exercises, as appropriate. There will be short written assignments as well as a longer paper due at the end of the semester. No final exam.

As with the MPT, students will be assigned lawyering tasks, which may include writing a memorandum to a supervising attorney, a client letter, a persuasive memorandum or brief, a statement of facts, a contract provision, a settlement proposal, and the like. Students will work from source files containing facts and other material, and will receive a collection of legal sources with sufficient substantive information to complete the task. The class does not teach research skills or substantive law. Rather, it focuses on developing analytical and writing skills in the American legal tradition. The class will also expose students to specific writing approaches, outlining and issue spotting techniques, and time management strategies. Enrollment is limited to 14 foreign-trained lawyers enrolled in the American Law Program. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

Students will examine actual pending IP AI cases (like Author\u2019s Guild v OpenAI) and conduct simulated exercises \u2013 taking on the role of plaintiff, defendant, law clerk, and judge \u2013 in litigating the cases.\n\nWhether you are counsel to engineers, sales, marketing or business development professionals, or managers or organizational leaders who create or use IP \u2013 or looking to sharpen your transactional skills as a lawyer - this program is for you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 792 A1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/nick-psyhogeos\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Nick Psyhogeos<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 792 B1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/nick-psyhogeos\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Nick Psyhogeos<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-708\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 708<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">CIVIL PROCEDURE FOR LLMs<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 708<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCIVIL PROCEDURE FOR LLMs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This class introduces internationally-trained LLM students to the rules, standards, and values that govern the procedures used in civil cases in the federal district courts of the United States.

You need hands-on training. This course introduces LLM students to the structure of the jury trial process in the United States and the core skills used by trial lawyers. The seminar will give students first-hand exposure to the full range of trial advocacy skills, from opening statements to closing arguments, including conducting direct and cross examination of witnesses, making and meeting objections, introducing documents and discovery into evidence, and using hypothetical questions with expert witnesses. Throughout the term, students will try their hands at using these skills through simulated exercises and role plays. At the end of the semester, each student will perform as counsel in a simulated \"mock\" civil trial before a jury. Limited to 12 LL.M. in American Law Program students. A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar. Students who are on a wait list for a seminar are required to attend the first seminar meeting to be considered for enrollment.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-709\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 709<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Constitutional Law for LLMs<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 709<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tConstitutional Law for LLMs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This class provides an introductory level survey of U.S. constitutional law.

Its goal is to prepare non-common law lawyers to work effectively with US counsel when structuring and negotiating contractual terms and provisions. The class brings a practical perspective to the topics covered in a traditional first-year contracts course: the fundamentals of contract formation, enforceability, defenses to enforceability, interpretation, performance, conditions, third party rights, damages, and other remedies. In addition to receiving foundational exposure to the main U.S. contract law topics, students will examine how contract law principles affect real-world US legal practice in a range of settings. Comparisons to civil law traditions will be made to elucidate doctrinal concepts and practice considerations. As a result, students will gain a deeper understanding of the practical and cross-cultural issues to consider when working with (or against) US counsel. Enrollment is limited to LLM students from non-common law backgrounds who have not taken the fall semester four- credit JD or LLM contracts class.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 813 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Feb 27th 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon,Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/donna-palermino\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Donna Palermino<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>209<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-812\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 812<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">CONTRACTS FOR LLMs<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 812<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCONTRACTS FOR LLMs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will use the case method to examine legal and equitable remedies for enforcing contracts, determining what promises are enforceable, elements of assent, standards of fairness and restrictions on bargaining process, and tests for performance and breach.

This is a survey class for international LLM students on the foundations of corporate finance -- its functions in a corporation and the underlying principles of contract and corporate law that influence the structure of basic corporate finance instruments, i.e., stock, preferred stock, varieties of debt, and other aspects of capital raising for public and privately held companies. The seminar will introduce students to basic US and international accounting principles, fundamental financial statements, concepts underlying the time value of money, interest rates, the valuation of companies, and mergers and acquisitions. The focus will be on understanding the business functions of these instruments; the choices that business managers must make between different ways to raise capital; and the legal dimensions of corporate finance instruments that international corporate lawyers must know in order to advise business clients interested in doing business in the US. The course will also discuss the financial markets in which capital is raised. Prior coursework in accounting, while helpful, is not required. Basic concepts from finance, such as risk, return, control, cost of capital, diversification, etc., will be introduced conceptually rather than through using finance math. In addition, the course will have distinctly legal and practical component, exposing students to how corporate finance is captured in contractual documents. CO-REQUISITE: Corporations.

In addition to having strong drafting and negotiation skills, they think creatively and strategically, more like skilled chess players than technicians. They are also effective, diplomatic communicators. This seminar teaches students how, as transactional lawyers, they can bring added value to a deal. Through role plays, simulations, in- class exercises and written assignments, students learn strategies for translating the concepts of a business transaction into legal documents. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the client's business and strategic objectives for a deal; identifying the risk and value issues that the client has not yet considered; structuring the deal; and negotiating and drafting the deal documents to achieve the client's goals. Note: Although strategic contract drafting is an element of the course, this is not a class dedicated to contract drafting. Instead, the focus is on how the various provisions of deal documents interact with each other to further a client's business objectives, and on how to work strategically to structure, negotiate, and draft the provisions to achieve those objectives. This class is open to foreign-trained LLM students in the LLM in American Law and Intellectual Property Law Programs. Prerequisites: contracts, unless otherwise waived by the instructor. Enrollment limited to 12 students. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-706\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 706<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">EFFECTIVE WRITING FOR LLMs<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 706<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEFFECTIVE WRITING FOR LLMs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">There is no such thing as a good lawyer who is not also a good writer. Whether you are writing a court document, a legal development update, a settlement agreement, or a simple internal email to colleagues, your ability to make proper decisions about tone, style, language and organization will play a big role in your effectiveness as a practitioner and overall professional identity. This seminar will focus on the best practices for effective writing across a broad range of legal communications. Weekly assignments will build upon -- but not overlap with -- the fall semester Legal Research and Writing seminar's assignments. Students will be exposed to a range of writing styles and approaches suitable for different audiences. Assignments will focus on the craft of writing and effective expression, not on substantive legal issues or legal research and may include such work products as lawyer-to-lawyer letters, informal client advisories, internal communications and official submissions to government agencies. Students will receive direct individual feedback on their assignments. Enrollment is limited to 14 LLM in American Law Program students who are not enrolled in Professor Sugarman's \"Advanced Legal Writing for LLMs: The Essentials for Bar Exam Writing and Beyond.\"<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 706 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/john-e-laplante\/\" title=\"View Profile\">John E.

For good reason, we call this the Information Age. Recall the countless high- profile privacy and data security controversies you have heard about recently: location tracking; AI systems using personal data to deny people jobs and benefits; data breaches, hacking and identity theft; and government surveillance. Law has responded with a dizzying array of new rules -- and a rapidly growing area of professional specialization for attorneys. This course serves as an introduction to the emerging law of data privacy. By the end, you will be well grounded in many challenges facing any enterprise, public or private, that collects, processes, uses, and stores personal information. In addition to knowledge of federal and state rules and enforcement activity, we will learn about the policy questions that arise in this dynamic area, the legally relevant questions to ask when assessing information practices. You will gain a basic understanding of data privacy regulation in other countries, particularly the European Union. You will also learn how to think about the relationship between law and technology more broadly. All students will benefit from more sophisticated knowledge about an issue that appears in the news every single day. But there are significant professional payoffs too. Major law firms have organized entire practice areas devoted to privacy and data protection law. These trends mean that law school graduates will have increasing job opportunities in data privacy and security law. Meanwhile, in many other practice areas -- such as securities, labor and employment, health, advertising, and the list goes on -- familiarity with privacy and security law has become a major asset. Plus, the issues are fascinating and fun. If nothing else, you can have great conversations at parties.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 799 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue,Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:05 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/woodrow-hartzog\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Woodrow Hartzog<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>410<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-790\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 790<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR LLMs<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 790<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR LLMs\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">4 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">In our modern global information economy, the law of intellectual property has taken on enormous importance to both creators and users.

Taught from the US practitioner's perspective, the class is specifically designed for foreign- trained lawyers who want to learn how to leverage intangible assets through intellectual property licensing transactions. We will cover patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret license agreements in a range of industries. Topics will include the scope and limitations of different licensing arrangements; crafting and interpreting licensing contract language; the relationship between licenses and transactions involving tangible assets; and licensing enforcement. We will explore the similarities and differences in licensing in the media, entertainment and technology industries; as well as licensing law and practice in foreign jurisdictions. In-class exercises and role plays will help students develop the practical skills needed to successfully draft and negotiate intellectual property licenses. PRE-REQUISITES (unless otherwise waived by the professor): Either Intellectual Property (fall survey class) or the fall seminar, The Practice of U.S. Copyright and Trademark Law: Media and Entertainment Transactions. CO-REQUISITE: Contracts. Enrollment is limited to 18 LLM in Intellectual Property Law and LLM in American Law students. **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

They are asked to review a target's records and identify \"anything that looks suspicious.\" Where to begin? This is a practical skills course that will assist LLM in American Law Program students in understanding international compliance and risk due diligence in cross-border transactions. Students will learn to identify and investigate the myriad \"red flags\" that can signal a target company's non-compliance with US laws governing global trade and anti-corruption. Through case studies and hands-on exercises and assignments, students will develop the lawyering skills needed to assess a target company's control framework (compliance programs), identify potential red flags of non-compliance, and advise management on the risks posed by a potential transaction. The focus will be on the compliance obligations of multinational enterprises pursuant to anti-corruption rules (primarily, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and U.S. trade sanctions (OFAC). Students may not also take \"Compliance and Risk Management in Global Commerce.\" (JD 918)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 785 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Niles<\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>418<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-982\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 982<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">INTERNATIONAL M&A FOR LLMS<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 982<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tINTERNATIONAL M&A FOR LLMS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will give students a detailed introduction to the knowledge and skills necessary for an international M&A lawyer to guide clients through a typical cross-border M&A transaction. The course will have two distinct parts: (1) a deep dive into the key M&A contractual language (and underlying theories) that get negotiated in most transactions (including purchase price adjustments, indemnities, covenants, representations and warranties, and other key terms) and (2) navigating through each step in the deal process (including initial term sheet negotiations, due diligence, regulatory and third-party approvals, definitive agreement negotiations, closing mechanics, and other key steps). There will be an emphasis on underlying business principles that are common across different jurisdictions (e.g., U.S., U.K\/Australia, EU\/civil law countries, Africa, India, China, Japan, Asia-Pacific and other jurisdictions). Students will engage in case study hypotheticals involving real-life deals, which will be used to demonstrate the strengths and weakness of common strategies employed by law firm, in- house and other transactional lawyers.

The seminar will also analyze the process by which human rights law is made, the various human rights actors and stakeholders, and the interplay between international human rights mechanisms and domestic legal systems and movements. Throughout we will consider what makes for effective human rights advocacy and what are the major critiques of the human rights movement. In order for students to develop the skills necessary to become practicing human rights lawyers and activists, the seminar will also include skills-oriented sessions and case rounds. Class exercises and simulations will help foster the development of lawyering and advocacy skills. Case rounds will give students the opportunity to present on their work, reflect on theory and practice, and solicit class feedback and discussions about challenges faced in their projects.

It examines the role of state law and state courts in the American system of federalism. The course also studies the American judicial processes of constitutional analyses, interpretation of statues, and development of common law. Some attention is paid to court procedures, including trial by jury. Finally, students study a few topics that are illustrative of the treatment of individual rights in American law, such as freedom of speech, anti-discrimination law, and protection of private property. The class grants two credits towards the American Law degree.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 A1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/marni-goldstein-caputo\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Marni Goldstein Caputo<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>102<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 B1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/marni-goldstein-caputo\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Marni Goldstein Caputo<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>102<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 L1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>10:40 am<\/td>\n\t<td>12:40 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/donna-palermino\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Donna Palermino<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Mon<\/td>\n\t<td>4:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>6:20 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/marni-goldstein-caputo\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Marni Goldstein Caputo<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>103<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 700 L2,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/donna-palermino\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Donna Palermino<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n\t<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-814\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 814<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">INTRO TO UCC: LAW OF SALES<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 814<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tINTRO TO UCC: LAW OF SALES\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This is a six-week class intended to provide international LLM students with an introduction to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the model code developed for the purpose of harmonizing the varied commercial and contract laws in the United States. The course will begin with an overall survey of the UCC, including its purpose and coverage. Students will then focus on two important articles of the code -- Article 2 and Article 9. Article 2 governs the sale of goods by merchants or professional sellers and addresses such matters as offer and acceptance, consideration and contract formation, modification, repudiation, breach of contracts, and the \"battle of the forms.\" Article 9 governs secured transactions -- business transactions in which a debtor grants a security interest in personal property to a creditor in order to ensure repayment of a debt. This article addresses such issues as creating and giving notice of a security interest in property, and resolving conflicts among creditors claiming interests in the same property. The class will use a variety of learning methodologies, including readings, lectures, small group discussions, and role-plays. The class has no pre-requisites. Enrollment is limited to 40 LLM in American Law Program students. Students may not also enroll in LAW BK 972 or LAW JD 805.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-798\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 798<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">IP & THE INTERNET (LLM)<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 798<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIP & THE INTERNET (LLM)\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">2 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course will explore some of the challenges that the Internet has presented to traditional intellectual property law.

Students will learn foundational principles of IP, with an emphasis on pragmatic skills development for advising clients and company personnel on best practices for protecting and getting the most out of emerging, software-centric technologies and innovations. The course will address identifying the best form of IP for protecting your company's or clients' most valued innovations; unique IP characteristics of emerging technologies; performing an audit of your company or clients' IP plan; and developing a playbook for implementing an IP Protection Plan to secure and optimize the company crown jewels. Grades will be based on graded assignments, paper or exam, good faith completion of ungraded assignments, and class participation. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: Because the course involves regular in-class exercises, some of which are done in teams, and class participation is a significant component of a student's final grade, regular class attendance is essential and thus the course normally does not accommodate flexibility in attendance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-796\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 796<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">IP IN THE DIGITAL AGE<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 796<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIP IN THE DIGITAL AGE\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">The scope of creative products in today's digital age is vast and constantly expanding; its boarders can be fussy at times and vary by country. It can embrace things as different as your favorite Netflix series, fashion designs, mechanical and processes inventions, biological matter, scents and sounds, the knowledge expressed in the 0s and 1s on your laptop, and much more. This seminar explores how intellectual property law and policy deal with the products of creative and inventive endeavors in the digital age. We will cover US federal copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret law, and the international protection system of intellectual property rights. Relevant US state law will also be briefly covered. Special attention will be given to the impact of the digitization of goods and processes, and how the Internet market and people's online behavior have shaped IP law and policy in recent years. Through outside readings and assignments, in-class discussions, role plays, group projects and outside industry experts and IP thought leaders, students will gain a practical understanding of intellectual property and the dynamic forces shaping it. Assessments will include presentations and short papers. No in-class final exam will be given. Enrollment is limited to 25 LLM in American Law and Intellectual Property Law students. Students may not enroll if they are taking or have already taken the JD Intellectual Property survey class. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

This course is worth three (3) credits and is graded based on individual participation, group presentation, and a final opinion paper. This seminar brings an introduction to the field of internet and technology policy and regulation trends. It addresses the increasingly critical and complex legal and policy questions raised by advances in information technology, digital transformation, and the plataformization of the economy, with a special focus on internet governance, social media, fintech, and health. The discussion will always occur against a backdrop of international geopolitics, and economic and sustainable development. Examples of issues covered include internet governance, cybersecurity, NFTs, platforms, algorithms and more. While each topic that we will cover should merit a full course, this Seminar will offer a high-level, integrated view of core current technology policy and normative trends. It will provide enough information, bibliography, field actors identification and networking opportunities for students, and empower them to build their own life-long learning experience if wished. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

The seminar is hands-on, with a focus on developing practical negotiation skills in contexts that replicate actual legal practice with an unfamiliar opposing party. While students will have an opportunity to draft business and legal provisions of commercial agreements, the emphasis will be on strategies to effectively negotiate these provisions. ** A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

The goal of this course is to improve your effectiveness as a negotiator. Students will engage in a series of negotiation exercises (i.e., role plays) through which they can develop and hone their skills and approaches to negotiation. Discussion and short lectures will accompany the role-plays, as appropriate. There will be short written assignments (3-5 pages) as well as a longer paper (12-15 pages) due at the end of the semester. No final exam. ENROLLMENT LIMIT: 12 students. GRADING NOTICE: This class does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. RESTRICTION: Students may not enroll in Negotiation for LLMs (JD891) and Negotiation (JD921) and Alternative Dispute Resolution (JD881). **A student who fails to attend the initial meeting of a seminar (designated by an (S) in the title), or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, may be administratively dropped from the seminar.

It is specifically designed to introduce foreign lawyers to the basic principles of American legal writing. In small class settings and individual conferences, students receive guidance on drafting and editing memoranda and agreements. Their work is critiqued and rewritten. The research component of the seminar trains students to locate cases, statutes and secondary material through indexing systems and the latest computer technology. Research assignments are integrated into writing assignments -- exposing students to the methods of US legal analyses -- so that by the end of the term, students obtain the skills needed to write memoranda appropriate for submission to US law firms. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 A1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:15 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/nadine-nasser-donovan\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Nadine Nasser Donovan<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>418<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 B1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>9:00 am<\/td>\n\t<td>10:15 am<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/benjamin-shorey\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Benjamin Shorey<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 C1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3:25 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td>Niles<\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>419<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div><em><span>FALL 2025:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 704 D1,<\/span> <span>Sep 2nd to Dec 19th 2025<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Wed<\/td>\n\t<td>4:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>5:45 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>2<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/christina-r-schaper\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Christina R.

exclusively for LLM in American Law Program and LLM in Intellectual Property Law students. The simulated transaction is the formation and initial financing of a privately- held company in the software industry. The course will expose LLM students to the principal issues involved in counseling U.S.-based entrepreneurs as to their emerging businesses, including choice of entity and entity formation, equity compensation for founders and employees, intellectual property protection of company assets, capital raising through preferred stock financing, and negotiation of financing-related contracts based on industry- standard models. Through in-class discussions, homework assignments and graded writing assignments, students will simulate the work of both junior and senior practicing attorneys who counsel start-ups and their founders and investors. Students will review sample agreements related to start-up businesses such as formation and financing documents, draft and revise such agreements and conduct negotiations for the financing of an emerging business. While the simulation is based on a start-up transaction, many of the principles and concepts will be applicable to a broader range of business deals. The course grade will be based on homework assignments, class participation and graded writing assignments. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students. PREREQUISITE(S): Contracts and Corporations, unless otherwise waived by the instructor. Prior work experience in transactional business law is neither required nor expected. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar, will be administratively dropped from the class. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first meeting to be considered for enrollment. GRADING NOTICE: This class will not offer the CR\/NC\/H option.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 787 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Tue<\/td>\n\t<td>6:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>8:30 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/laurie-burlingame\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Laurie Burlingame<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>102<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"course-card\" data-course=\"LAW-AM-719\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__open\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number\">LAW AM 719<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-course-name-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"cc-course-name\">Transactional Contracts for LLMS<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cc-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<dialog class=\"course-card__dialog\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__dialog-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-course-number-modal\">LAW AM 719<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"course-card__close\">Close<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"course-card__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTransactional Contracts for LLMS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"cc-modal-credits\">3 credits<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"course-card__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"meta\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"description\">This course is for foreign-trained LL.M. students. It teaches students basic principles and skills of drafting and analyzing commercial and transaction agreements under U.S. state laws, with a focus on recognizing, and addressing through contractual provisions, key business issues in transactions. While the course utilizes lectures and class discussion to introduce and explain the use of various contract concepts and techniques essential for drafting and reviewing commercial and transaction agreements, it also requires that students complete both in-class exercises and out-of-class assignments as a means of building basic drafting skills and a solid understanding of the structure and operation of contractual provisions in a business transaction under U.S. law. The course also considers various ethical issues that may arise in the contract drafting and review process and in transactional practice generally. Grades will be based on class participation and graded drafting assignments. CLASS SIZE: Limited to 12 students. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR\/NC\/H option. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT: A student who fails to attend the first class or to obtain permission to be absent from either the instructor or the Registrar will be administratively dropped from the course. Students who are on the wait list are required to attend the first class to be considered for enrollment. Because the course involves regular in-class exercises, some of which are done in teams, and class participation is a significant component of a student's final grade, regular class attendance is essential and thus the course cannot accommodate flexibility in attendance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr>\n\t\t\t\t\t<em><span>SPRG 2026:<\/span> <span>LAW AM 719 A1,<\/span> <span>Jan 12th to Apr 22nd 2026<\/span><\/em><br\/>\n<div class=\"scroll\">\n\t<table>\n\t\t<thead>\n\t\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Days<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Start<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>End<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Credits<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Instructors<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Bldg<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t<th>Room<\/th>\n\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t<td>Thu<\/td>\n\t<td>2:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>4:10 pm<\/td>\n\t<td>3<\/td>\n\t<td><a class=\"profile-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/alexander-lloyd\/\" title=\"View Profile\">Alexander Lloyd<\/a><\/td>\n\t<td>LAW<\/td>\n\t<td>518<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\t<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/dialog>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are strongly encouraged to review the Course Selection Guide\u00a0and all course updates before finalizing your second- and third-year course selections.
