Description
Building on a prior legal studies or law-related class, LGLS 4040 explores specific legal topics primarily through an analysis of recent federal and state case law, statutes and regulations. Course topics will vary from semester to semester, but the course will always include at lease one “emerging” technology law topic, such as regulating e-scooters, autonomous cars and drones, or the collection and use of biometric information. The course also focuses on improving students’ on-line legal research skills; case and statutory analysis; and legal writing and citation skills by requiring students to write legal arguments and memoranda, case briefs and a formal case analysis paper.
