LAW 809J: Policy Practicum: Juvenile Justice & Education: Re-envisioning San Mateo County Alternative Schools

This policy practicum will provide students the opportunity to be part of designing and operationalizing an innovative approach to alternative education in San Mateo County. Students will work closely with the County Office of Education, the San Mateo Community College District and the Youth Law Center. Participants in the practicum will be involved in supporting the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) as it re-envisions its alternative education program. In California, the County Office of Education is responsible for educational programs for certain students that are not attending school within their school district. This includes incarcerated students and students who have been referred to the County-run alternative school based on an expulsion from their district due to a disciplinary incident, a referral from the truancy review board, or through their involvement in the juvenile justice system. One of the alternative schools overseen by SMCOE is the community school-Gatew more »

This includes incarcerated students and students who have been referred to the County-run alternative school based on an expulsion from their district due to a disciplinary incident, a referral from the truancy review board, or through their involvement in the juvenile justice system. One of the alternative schools overseen by SMCOE is the community school-Gateway. SMCOE would like to completely redesign the Gateway program while, at the same time, consider changes and improvements in the entire alternative education system, including how students enter the County program and transition out of the program. SMCOE is particularly interested in increasing its collaboration with the community college district, which offers an exciting opportunity for an innovative approach that could be replicated throughout the state. SMCOE has already engaged the National Equity Project to begin this redesign process. Practicum students will work in collaboration with SMCOE, the community college district, the Youth Law Center and the National Equity Project to support the design and implementation of a reimagined alternative school program. Students will conduct research on legal issues, funding, best practices and models from other jurisdictions. They will provide a written to report to SMCOE to assist them in making the new vision a reality. They will also document all steps in the redesign and implementation process to create a useful tool for other counties who might wish to engage in a redesign of their alternative education program. (Note: this final portion of the project will likely be completed in the spring quarter, with both new and continuing students.). In the Winter Quarter, graduate and professional students from law, education, and public policy are invited to apply. R credit (Section 02) is possible only by consent of the instructor. After the Winter Quarter begins, students accepted into the course can transfer from section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement, with consent of the instructor. Winter quarter students will have completed internal research memos. The role of spring quarter students will be to synthesize that research and create a public-facing set of recommendations. During the spring quarter we will have the opportunity to present draft recommendations to community partners before finalizing a report for the County Superintendent and County Board of Education. The class will be primarily made up of continuing students but there will be a few spaces available for new students to join, with the instructor's permission. Our weekly meeting time will be determined once we have our student cohort finalized. The weekly meeting times may include a full class meeting and additional small group meetings. Elements used in grading: Attendance, performance, class participation, written assignments. CONSENT APPLICATION: To apply for this course, students must submit a Consent Application Form at SLS Registrar https://registrar.law.stanford.edu/.

LAW 809K: Policy Practicum: Blue Foods for Indonesia: A Human & Planetary Health Action Lab

Globally, more than 1 billion people rely on seafood, yet this source of vital nutrition is chronically neglected in discussions about the future of food systems. In 2021, the UN Food Systems Summit brought international attention to the potential of "blue foods," thanks in part to insights and evidence provided by the Stanford-led Blue Food Assessment. Now, the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning has asked Stanford to help them build blue foods into Indonesia's national development strategy. Indonesia is the 4th most populous country, home to 278 million people and the most marine biodiversity on the planet. Over the next 18 months, we will work with the Ministry, Indonesian researchers, and NGO partners to develop a Blue Food Assessment for Indonesia that can help policymakers realize the potential of blue foods to meet pressing food system priorities -- improving nutrition, food security, and livelihoods, both nationally and in rural communities.

This Blue Foods Action Lab is the first of a series to help Indonesia implement a far-reaching national program that could transform its food system and could be used as a model for other countries. For Spring quarter the role of the students will be to evaluate successful programs implemented by other nations in the areas that align with client interests and build from the student progress on topics from the winter quarter (i.e., aquaculture, small scale fisheries, blue food tech and justice and inclusion). A report will be produced and shared with the Indonesian Ministry and our NGO partner. The practicum seeks graduate and well-qualified undergraduate students in such programs as earth systems, computer science, public policy, international policy, business, law, sociology, and marine biology. Policy client: Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning. Graduate and professional students from law, environmental science and policy, marine sciences, food systems, and public policy are invited to apply.

LAW 809L: Policy Practicum: Expanding Access to Justice in Eviction and Family Law

This policy lab will launch a significant collaboration between the Los Angeles Superior Court -- the largest court in the U.S., serving a population of 10 million -- and a Stanford research team from the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and the Legal Design Lab. Students will work with senior court leaders and the Stanford team to understand the barriers and challenges court users face in eviction and family law matters (Winter Quarter), and then develop an actionable, evidence-based blueprint for an end-to-end process and digital pathway to promote access to justice that can be piloted and evaluated (Spring Quarter). The American civil justice system is in crisis. In roughly three-quarters of the 15 million civil cases filed in America¿s state courts each year, at least one side lacks a lawyer. Many of these cases involve significant, life-altering matters: debt collection actions, evictions, and family/domestic disputes. Such large, systemic gaps in access to legal se more »

The American civil justice system is in crisis. In roughly three-quarters of the 15 million civil cases filed in America¿s state courts each year, at least one side lacks a lawyer. Many of these cases involve significant, life-altering matters: debt collection actions, evictions, and family/domestic disputes. Such large, systemic gaps in access to legal services limit who can meaningfully participate in court proceedings, magnifying disparities based on income, education, race, gender, and ethnicity. While the access to justice crisis has many causes, there is mounting evidence that a core part of the problem is the courts themselves. Many courts are difficult to navigate without a lawyer, with inscrutable forms, arcane terminology, and outdated filing systems and requirements. The result is that many people do not engage with the court at all, instead suffering default judgments. And while many courts offer a variety of in-person and digital services to people who need assistance, those services are often hard to access, kludgy, and disconnected. This policy lab will be the first in a series of two, with a second offering in Spring Quarter. During Winter Quarter, students will work with the court to study barriers to litigant access and engagement using mixed-method quantitative and qualitative analysis. Students will analyze existing court data to understand procedural patterns and litigant needs, and they will also help collect new data through surveys, interviews, and focus groups with court users and personnel. This diagnostic work will include opportunities to travel to Los Angeles. Students in the Spring Quarter will use the learnings to design a pilot for a new, end-to-end process that can improve court users¿ participation rates, their engagement, their sense of procedural justice, and their substantive justice outcomes. The practicum will be led by Professor David Freeman Engstrom, Co-Director of the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and Margaret Hagan, Executive Director of the Stanford Legal Design Lab. We hope to draw students from a variety of disciplines from around the University. Technical or data science expertise is welcome but not required. Students need not take both the Winter and Spring quarter practicums, though they are welcome to do so. Law students wishing to undertake R credit will perform additional research or take on additional tasks analyzing the issues and results of the collective research. R credit (Section 02) is possible only by consent of the instructor. After the term begins, and with the consent of the instructor, students accepted into the course may transfer from section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement.

LAW 809M: Policy Practicum: Regulating Professional Enablers of Russia's War on Ukraine

Law firms' withdrawal from Russia in the wake of the country's brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 surfaced challenging and timely questions around what it means to practice ethically in an increasingly challenging globalized context. This proposed policy lab explores the role of lawyers in times of conflict and crisis. Western legal professionals have garnered criticism, including from Ukrainian civil society, for their alleged role as "enablers" of Russian aggression, especially by helping sanctioned individuals move and hide their wealth. The role of Western lawyers as enablers of corrupt regimes is not new; a 2006 Senate subcommittee report found that "lawyers help establish offshore structures, draft financial instruments, and provide legal opinions justifying offshore transactions." Congress finally responded with the 2022 ENABLERS Act, which would force lawyers to investigate the source of clients' funds when making a transaction, the way banks currently do. The bill fai more »

Congress finally responded with the 2022 ENABLERS Act, which would force lawyers to investigate the source of clients' funds when making a transaction, the way banks currently do. The bill failed in the Senate last year however, largely under pressure from the ABA. With sanctions effectiveness being a focus of the Freeman Spogli Institute's McFaul-Yermak International Sanctions Working Group, this SLS policy lab would contribute a unique perspective to a live area policy debate at Stanford and Washington. Students would have the chance to consider the duties of lawyers towards clients credibly linked to ongoing human rights abuses and war crimes, assessing current ABA guidelines, constitutional due process guarantees, recent policy developments like the 2022 ENABLERS Act, and the perspectives of local civil society in Ukraine and other affected areas. Elements used in grading: Attendance, Performance, Class Participation, Written Assignments. Only students who participated in the prior quarter's project will be admitted to the spring quarter practicum.

LAW 809P: Policy Practicum: University Anti-Doxxing Policies

Students in this Policy Practicum will advise the Stanford Provost's Office on the legal and policy issues raised by the doxxing of or by members of the Stanford community or otherwise related to activities on campus, and develop recommendations for how the University should respond. Areas of research will cover the legal definition of doxxing, the First Amendment, the Leonard Law and other constraints applying to the University in this context, what training or resources can be offered to people to protect their online privacy, and how to foster open and constructive discourse as an academic institution in light of the way that these online dynamics and the threat of doxxing can chill speech. Note: There is no set meeting time. The instructor and admitted students will work together to set the weekly class meetings (approximately three hours per week) and classroom location. Elements used in grading: Attendance, Performance, Class Participation, Written Assignments.

LAW 809Q: Policy Practicum: Safeguarding Judicial Independence Around the World

An impartial and independent judiciary is crucial for safeguarding democracy and the rule of law. In this policy practicum, students will work on several important projects for submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, Professor Margaret Satterthwaite. The Rapporteur's UN mandate positions her to have a real-time impact on efforts to defend democracy in a time of authoritarian overreach and democratic backsliding. She executes her mandate through individual case work, reports on country visits, amicus briefs, and thematic reports on key issues. Under the supervision of the instructor, and in consultation with the U.N. special rapporteur, students will work in small teams to provide carefully researched, time-relevant inputs on one or more of the following crucial topics: 1. The instrumentalization of the judicial system to harm the rights of government opponents or other dissidents. Students will provide case studies of judicial harassment and o more »

She executes her mandate through individual case work, reports on country visits, amicus briefs, and thematic reports on key issues. Under the supervision of the instructor, and in consultation with the U.N. special rapporteur, students will work in small teams to provide carefully researched, time-relevant inputs on one or more of the following crucial topics: 1. The instrumentalization of the judicial system to harm the rights of government opponents or other dissidents. Students will provide case studies of judicial harassment and other forms of instrumentalization of the judicial system. A specific focus will be placed on the criminalization of lawyers, prosecutors, and judges, and on the use of SLAPP suits (strategic litigation against public participation). Students will perform legal analysis of these concerns using international human rights law and soft law norms such as the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and the Guidelines on the Role of Prosecutors. Questions to be explored include: what is the role of lawyers in guarding against the instrumentalization of the judicial system? What norms provide guidance to lawyers assessing whether zealous advocacy could transform into judicial harassment? What rules can guide prosecutors in charging decisions concerning government opponents? 2. The independence of Indigenous juridical systems. Students will provide case studies exploring how Indigenous peoples have maintained their legal and judicial systems in the United States and countries around the world. The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples guarantees the right of Indigenous peoples "to promote, develop and maintain their institutional structures," including "juridical systems or customs, in accordance with international human rights standards." Questions to be explored include: what challenges have Indigenous peoples faced in maintaining their legal and judicial systems? Are there good practices for safeguarding the self-determination of Indigenous peoples through their juridical systems? 3. Economic and corporate capture of judicial systems. The right to a fair trial requires independent and impartial courts, and international standards make clear that judges must be free from "improper influences [or] inducements" from "any quarter or for any reason." Students will prepare case studies illustrating the risk to judicial systems emanating from powerful economic or corporate interests. Questions to be explored include: what counts as improper economic inducement of a court or its judges and who decides? What rules exist to limit the influence of corporations or other wealthy actors from influencing the selection or appointment of judges? Do ethical codes and laws effectively shield judges from undue influence by powerful economic actors? Are there policies or practices that ensure a country's judiciary is open to jurists of diverse wealth or class backgrounds? Through this practicum, students will learn to work for and engage with a policy client; have an opportunity to have real-time, practical impact on key problems around the world relating to judicial independence; and also hone their legal research, policy analysis, and writing skills.

LAW 809R: Policy Practicum: Nature-Based Climate Solutions Policy Lab

Nature-based climate solutions can enhance the natural proclivity of landscapes and seascapes to combat climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere while generating co-benefits such as biodiversity, cleaner air and water, and improved resilience in the face of destructive climate impacts. Yet "nature-based climate solutions" (NbS) are not well-defined and a general lack of understanding, experience and information-sharing about NbS is holding back their adoption. In addition, U.S. laws and policies can limit the deployment of NbS. In this policy lab we will work with a non-profit client that invests in a large number of NbS and is interested in identifying and overcoming barriers that are constraining their investments, and in improving how they measure, monitor and verify the climate and other benefits associated with NbS projects.

LAW 809T: Policy Practicum: Building A Sustainable, Transparent, and Humane Food System

The modern food and agricultural system significantly impacts public health and the global environment. Agricultural practices have substantial climate impacts, affect water quality, and can contribute to antibiotic resistance and the emergence of novel pathogens. Yet policymakers' ability to consider and address these impacts has been limited by a lack of information, as agricultural operations are frequently exempted from disclosures and reporting required for other sectors. Working closely with the Stanford RegLab and the Stanford Climate and Energy Policy Program within the Woods Institute for the Environment, students in this policy practicum will explore several issues, with a specific focus on the California context. First, students will evaluate policy and legislative approaches to improve disclosures related to Senate Bill 27 -- a California law that limits the use of antibiotics among livestock.

LAW 881: Externship Companion Seminar

The practice of public interest law -- whether in the criminal or civil context, or a government or non-profit setting -- requires an attorney to consider a host of issues distinct from one in private practice. How should decisions be made about priorities with limited resources? Where an organization has a broad social justice mission, where does litigation on behalf of individual clients or a group of clients fit in? Prior to initiating litigation or advancing a defense, what quantum of evidence should an attorney require? What role, if any, should an attorney's personal beliefs play in a course of representation? Through directed supervision of their externships, as well as participation in weekly seminars, students will evaluate such questions in the context of their practical experience. Students are required to write weekly reflection papers of 2 to 3 pages. Elements used in grading: Attendance, class participation, weekly reflection papers and final reflection paper.
