To gain an understanding of when copyrighted works may be used without the owner’s permission, the class will discuss many copyright defenses, especially far use.

The course introduces the idea of a body of privacy law, but reveals the hit-and-miss approach that characterizes constitutional, common law, statutory, and regulatory privacy law in the United States. Students will examine examples of privacy law in information and decisional privacy areas involving topics such as media, health, criminal investigation, anonymity, employment, public records, consumer behavior, and various aspects of personal autonomy. Not all aspects of privacy law will be covered each semester. Students will discover that privacy law is a growing area of practice with challenges of harmonizing state, federal, and foreign laws.

  • LAW 335 – Advanced Torts: Business Torts & Products Liability (3 Hours) – RWE

This advanced torts course has two main components: business torts and products liability.  Most introductory courses focus upon torts that primarily cause personal injury and/or property damage. Tort law, however, extends well beyond these contexts. Indeed, one component of this advanced torts course will cover torts that typically cause pure economic harm — i.e., harms to the pocketbook, rather than harms to the person or property. The course will emphasize the operation of various business torts and their applicability to particular business or economic settings.  Potential business torts topics includeconduct causing pure economic loss, fraud and negligent misrepresentation, interference with existing contract and prospective contractual relations, bad faith breaches of contract as tort, the boundary between tort and contract, business disparagement, and unfair competition as tortious conduct.  The second component of the course will concern products liability, examined in more detail than in the typical introductory course, and including drug and medical device liability.

  • LAW 338 – Advanced Commercial Law and Contracts (3 Hours) – RWE

In this seminar, each student becomes expert in a topic with a nexus to commercial law or contracts.

No prior social science experience is required.

  • LAW 384 – Intellectual Property Strategies & Transactions Law (3 Hours) – WE
