5 NEW COURSES BEING OFFERED - SPRING 2015 ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL FORMATION: An advanced study of the relational skills and intelligence that set excellent lawyers apart. The course will focus on helping each student develop their professional identity and become excellent in professional relationships, personal relationships, presenting themselves to potential employers, clients, lawyers, and judges. The course will also focus on relational leadership skills with a primary emphasis on establishing an internalized moral core, confidence, and humility of character. The class will emphasize learning by doing students will actively participate in classroom exercises and receive feedback from the other students and the professor. BUSINESS PERSPECTIVES ON WORKPLACE PRIVACY: This seminar will explore issues of workplace privacy from the practical perspective of an attorney advising a business. Topics will include electronic surveillance, drug testing, genetic testing, psychological testing, polygraphs, social media issues, and employer control of off-duty activities. The class will also look at some comparative law issues in workplace privacy that may face employers. Readings will include court cases, applicable legislation and secondary materials. While familiarizing themselves with the various legal frameworks applicable to workplace privacy, students will also develop skills in offering legal advice in areas that are not yet clear under existing law. CRIMINAL JUSTICE DISPUTE RESOUTION PRACTICUM: Students will work with inmates in the L.A. County Jail to teach peacemaking and dispute resolution as a part of coordinated efforts to reduce recidivism and to promote better outcomes through the criminal justice system. Students will receive intensive training in peacemaking and dispute resolution, and then will assist in teaching and training inmates these skills and virtues. Students will develop knowledge and insight into the criminal justice systems, develop critical cultural competence, and develop skills in mediation and dispute resolution. DISASTER LAW: In recent decades, America has experienced an array of so-called natural disasters, such as devastating wildfires, earthquakes and floods, super-storms and hurricanes that have ravaged its coasts, and the largest marine oil spill in world history. With aging infrastructures, a growing population and climate change, disasters may prove even more destructive in the future. Calling these events natural suggests that they happen for reasons that transcend human action. Although naturally occurring storms and other phenomena will continue to happen, the force of such events, from the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina to the loss of lives and property to fires in California and Colorado, can be either magnified or limited by humans through our land use and environmental decisions. The law plays a role in every stage of a disaster s lifecycle, from preparedness and risk management to mitigation, compensation and reconstruction. This course will explore the issues that arise before, during and after catastrophic disasters. Using real-life case studies, students will assess legal tools for reducing vulnerability, enhancing emergency preparedness and response, and increasing environmental protection. WISDOM, LAW, AND LAWYERS: The substance of this course will be the Nootbaar Conference of the same name. Students will be required to read the conference papers, attend the conference, and write a 7-10 page reflection paper. At a time when law is seen by many as purely a matter of power politics and the lawyer s role as purely a matter of pursuing client economic interests, we want to consider how wisdom should influence deliberations in legislative chambers, courts, and lawyers offices. Presentations will address three general themes: 1) The Nature of Wisdom; 2) Wisdom and the Law; and 3) Wisdom and Lawyers. For further information, see the conference website at: SPEECH TORTS: This course examines the intersection of tort law and the Constitution s protection of free speech, surveying the legal and public policy issues that emerge when tort regulation overlaps with the demands of the First Amendment. The course will focus heavily on issues surrounding defamation and privacy law, but will also touch on other relevant areas of tort law, such as intentional infliction of emotional distress, media harm cases, and products liability. 1/14/ :38 AM 5

6 NEW COURSES BEING OFFERED - SPRING 2015 (continued) TAX POLICY: This course offers an opportunity for students to read and react to articles in progress on cutting-edge topics in tax policy. There will be six presentations during the semester by tax professors from other law schools. In advance of each presentation, students will read the work-in-progress (along with any assigned background reading) and prepare short (3-5 page) reaction papers. At each presentation, students will pose questions to the professor presenting the work-in-progress. After each presentation, students will critique the presentation and work-in-progress. Other Pepperdine faculty and local practitioners may attend the presentations. THE RULE OF LAW AND THE AMERICAN JUDICIARY: This course will examine the unique role of the American judiciary in protecting and advancing the rule of law in our society. The debates of scholars and legal professionals regarding the contours of the rule of law and how to best achieve it will be explored, beginning with discussions of the American experience from a theoretical and historical perspective. The course will then turn to institutional matters concerning the judiciary and the courts, focusing on measures and techniques that foster judicial independence and neutrality which enhances the ideal of the rule of law. In addition to written assignments, students will engage in class debates on controversial aspects of the current system, such as jury trials, judicial elections, and the media and the courts. REVISED COURSE TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS SPRING 2015 ADVANCED CONSTITUTIONAL LAW-SUPREME COURT SEMINAR: The initial weeks of the course will involve reading and discussing scholarship about the Court, regarding the nomination and appointment of Justices, the certiorari or case selection process, how the Court reaches decisions and writes opinions, how interest groups seek to strategically use litigation to advance their goals, and finally, an inquiry into the actual impact of Supreme Court decision making on legal doctrine and public policy. The balance of the course is devoted to the oral argument and decision of cases on the Court s current docket. Each student will be expected to: (1) assume the identity of one of the current Justices by preparing a written biographical sketch of that Justice; (2) argue one case in class for either petitioner or respondent, preparing a summary of argument for class use on the day of the argument; and (3) prepare a written opinion in the argued case from the viewpoint of the student s selected Judicial identity accurately reflecting the judicial philosophy of that Justice. RACE AND ANTIDISCRIMINATION LAW (previously titled Race and the Law): This course will provide an overview of federal and state constitutional and statutory antidiscrimination law and review various critiques of the law and doctrine. The course will focus on discrimination and reverse discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation, but some attention will be given to discrimination based on other characteristics. It will explore competing frameworks for antidiscrimination law, such as the anti-classification and anti-subordination approaches to equal protection, disparate impact, and assess the role of the three branches of government, as well as private actors, in pursuing liberty and/or equality. The course will address these issues in a variety of contexts, including education, employment, marriage and family, housing, and voting. 1/14/ :38 AM 6
