This colloquium offers students the chance to engage with leading scholars exploring law's relationship to inequality. In each session we will discuss a current work of legal scholarship on inequality, first as a class, then in the following session with the author as our guest. Interested UVA law faculty will also be invited to attend. Students will leave the class having grappled with the most up-to-date research on topics involving law's role in reinforcing or challenging various forms of inequality, such as race, class, gender and sexuality, disability and their intersections.

The lecture will examine the laws, regulations and policies governing wages.

This course is intended to introduce students to the theories behind the public utility--both historically and in its new iterations. Students will learn about public utility regulation as the precursor to much of modern administrative law.

This seminar will explore the legal authorities underlying the executive branch's use of economic tools of national security, the role that Congress plays in authorizing and overseeing executive branch actions, and the role of courts in reviewing challenges from regulated parties.

In this course, students (in multifunctional teams from the Schools of Law, Engineering, and Public Policy) will work on real, national security-related problems facing the U.S. Government. Students will study the structures and processes of the various national security agencies and how those agencies approach the problem of innovation, which for defense institutions is a combined problem of technology, policy, and law.

Developing a successful project proposal for a postgraduate public interest fellowship requires multifaceted research, creativity, and strategic advocacy. In this class, students interested in becoming public interest attorneys will learn about the process for developing a fellowship project; conduct research about a timely legal problem that motivates them; and design, in collaboration with others, the foundations for a compelling project.

This course is a forum for students to engage with their peers, faculty, and invited scholars on cutting-edge issues in criminal law, criminal procedure, and criminal justice policy. Each week, we will focus on a scholar and read a sampling of their work; the following week, that scholar will join us to present their most recent work.

A web of constitutional, statutory, and judge-made laws regulate the American political process. This course will examine these laws and their implications for three broad and important issues: participation, aggregation, and governance. Participation involves the right to vote and various restrictions thereon, aggregation involves apportionment and redistricting, and governance involves campaign finance and the role of political parties.

The clinic involves instruction and practical training on advising start-up companies and drafting basic corporate documentation. As part of the clinic, students will work with and advise Darden students who have been accepted to participate in the Darden Business Incubator.

This seminar will explore planning techniques and legal issues surrounding protection of landscapes of natural, historical and cultural value and public uses of those landscapes.
