LAW 220: Regulated Industries

(Same as ECON 158). Regulators exert a pervasive influence over virtually all aspects industrial activity. Even where policymakers have sought to rely more on market forces, regulatory oversight is still present and plays a key role in determining market outcomes. This course introduces major theories as well as cases on the role of regulation in modern economies. Examples are drawn mainly from electricity, telecommunications, natural gas, water, postal delivery, and food and drugs. The course provides a comprehensive introduction to regulatory oversight of these industries in the U.S. and addresses common themes and challenges, such as how regulators contend with their often limited ability to obtain accurate information and the effects of regulatory oversight on both short-term and long-term firm behavior. The course examines procedures for public engagement in regulatory decision-making (monitoring, participating, challenging on review), and the relationship between regulators and political authorities. Some attention is given to comparisons of US regulatory processs with those in both industrialized and developing countries.

LAW 222: Advanced Legal Research

The course is designed to prepare law students for research in practice and their clerkships. The course will build upon the research skills students acquired in first-year Legal Research and Writing, although no previous research experience is required and we welcome advanced degree students. The coverage will go well beyond the scope of first-year research assignments, however; we will emphasize cost-effective research, legislative analysis, administrative law research, open access resources and other topics not covered in the first-year curriculum. Objectives for the course: 1) to teach students how to evaluate sources and use them effectively, with particular emphasis on cost-effective research 2) to expand skills in primary and secondary US legal sources, in all formats 3) to develop skills for effective online research -- to also enable students to make clear choices between research formats 4) to introduce students to the array of non-legal information resources. Since learning legal research requires a hands-on approach, students are required to complete weekly homework assignments and frequent in-class exercises. Each student is also required to analyze a recent California Supreme Court opinion. Students are required to complete a final project; choices for the project include: creating a legal research study guide, writing a book review, creating an online/multimedia legal research lesson, or another project as agreed upon between student and instructors. Class attendance is vital to the learning objectives of this class and is therefore required.
