Health Law is a prerequisite. A substantial portion of this seminar will focus on the scope and impact of the disciplinary system upon access to health care and the use of medication for the relief of pain. This seminar provides an introduction to the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, and related statutes, and its implementation. Other legal and policy issues related to occupational safety and health are discussed. Students will write and present a seminar paper.
Most lawyers spend a large part of their time negotiating.
This seminar will give students hands-on experience negotiating, as well as a grounding in negotiation theory. Students participate in a variety of negotiation simulations, as well as in analyzing negotiation problems. Students are observed while negotiating and receive feedback. The negotiation simulations cover a wide range of situations, including business contracts, neighborhood disputes, personal services contracts and international disputes. In addition to the class meeting one afternoon each week, those enrolled will be required to meet with other students outside class hours to negotiate or to prepare for negotiations.
