For many lawyers, whether in public or private practice, dealing with legislatures and government regulatory bodies is an important element of their work. The list of courses and seminars below illustrate the wide variety of subjects and of intellectual approaches, that students may explore in preparing for this work. Some, for example, Administrative Law or New Forms of Public Interest Advocacy, focus on institutional issues, in some respects analogs to the foundational course in Civil Procedure or elective courses in Criminal Procedure. Others, for example, Securities and Capital Markets, address a particular area of public policy. The offerings in this area of law include legislation and litigation addressing both sophisticated public policy issues in laws affecting economic and social aspects of our institutions and varieties of issues of administrative law and the application of appropriate standards and sanctions, as well as a variety of procedural issues that arise in the resolution of problems in this vast area. Any may involve students in the rich secondary literature of the subject, which extends into social science disciplines such as economics and political science.
