This course introduces students to the federal administrative state—what some have called the “fourth branch” of government—and the law that governs it. Administrative agencies exert important and pervasive authority in the United States today. Examples include the functioning of markets in securities, telecommunications, and energy; the safety of food, drugs, cars, airplanes, and workplaces; the regulation of pollution, public land use, advertising, immigration, election campaigns, and union organizing; and the distribution of social welfare benefits. Topics that will be explored include the rationales for delegation to administrative agencies, procedural and substantive constraints on agency rulemaking and adjudication, judicial review of agency actions, and the relationship of agencies to Congress and the President.

This course will focus on federal and state administrative law research skills and provide students opportunities to practice these skills. Students will learn how to identify and use primary and secondary administrative law materials from both free and commercial sources and will apply this knowledge to exercises, class discussions, and a final project. There is no focus on one area of law, with the overarching idea being that students will walk away from this course knowing how to conduct research on any governmental agency or regulatory topic. This course is useful to law students because in many areas of legal practice, administrative law is more prevalent and relevant than statutory and judicial authority.
 

Advanced workshop in legal writing and oral argument for students competing in state and national moot court competitions. Through a series of moot court problems, as well as practice arguments for the different competitions, students gain a solid understanding of the appellate process and the intricacies of appellate advocacy. The class is rigorous but very worthwhile. Students receive individualized feedback with the goal of sharpening their communicative skills. Familiarity with the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure is recommended. A substantial amount of class participation is involved in this workshop.

‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) includes a variety of technologies, notably ‘machine learning’ systems such as IBM’s Watson, which won a ‘Jeopardy’ match, Google’s Ultra Go, which trounced a Go Master, and a plethora of systems designed to predict tumors, shopping habits, and even criminality. ‘Robots’ increasingly feature varying degrees of autonomy, including systems like self-driving cars, military drones, and robo-surgeons. Behind many robots lies an embodied or even remotely connected AI, making the two new technologies intertwined. Both technologies present a number of ethical, social, and legal challenges that are inciting a wide variety of responses. Representative examples of problems include: Should we permit robots to carry lethal weapons? Who is responsible for invidious discrimination by an AI? What should the liability (and ethical) rules be for accidents involving autonomous vehicles? Is existing malpractice law ready for AI doctors? Should AIs and/or Robots have ‘rights’, whether human rights, animal rights, or some sui generis set of rights? The course will thus treat AI/Robot Law as distinct subjects, or a distinct subject, of their own, and also attempt to put them into the context of the law’s ongoing encounter with new technology. Most law courses seek to give you mastery of a relatively well-defined body of law. This course is different: it will seek to give you a taste of what it is like to work in areas with little or no clearly defined law (as such–the task then is to borrow or invent it), or new law, or where the law is in the process of being created and assembled – and where you could have a hand in making it, or interpreting it. Much like acrobatics without a net, this can be thrilling but it can also be scary. Crashes are always a possibility.

This course explores some of the more difficult antitrust issues posed by the modern global economy. For instance, what are the rules for maintaining patent pools and industry-wide technical standards in an innovation-driven economy? How should antitrust cope with market definition in healthcare and pharmaceutical industries that are constantly evolving? What is the extra-territorial application of U.S. antitrust law? What are the important differences between U.S. Antitrust Law and European Competition Law? What role does antitrust play in heavily regulated industries, such as telecommunications, finance and healthcare? Likewise, what role will antitrust play in the explosive growth of sports & entertainment worldwide? These and other issues identified in the syllabus are at the leading edge of today's antitrust world. A solid grasp of the core principles taught in Antitrust I is essential for students electing to take this course.
 

As arbitration institutions and their caseloads have proliferated in recent decades, they have faced increasing scrutiny by users, experts, and the public into the way in which they manage and finance themselves, administer proceedings, institute reforms, maintain independence and impartiality, and address conflicts of interest. This course explores these broad issues and analyzes the role and functions of arbitration institutions through the lens of the wider debate on the legitimacy of arbitration. Additional topics covered include: the relationship among arbitration institutions as competitive and/or cooperative; regulating the conduct of arbitration institution board members and staff; the role of management, tribunal secretaries, and staff in screening arbitration requests and drafting awards; tackling issues of increasing delays and increasing costs; ensuring diversity and inclusiveness in the selection of arbitrators; dealing with arbitrator challenges; regulating the conduct of arbitrators and counsel; and handling confidentiality and transparency issues. The course will also examine the extent to which arbitration institutions and their staff should enjoy immunity from liability, and whether permanent courts—such as an international investment court—should replace arbitration in the investment field. Short Course Attendance Policy Due to the small number of meetings, attendance to all meetings/classes for short courses is mandatory. Students who miss more than one class session (80 minute) of a 1-credit short course are subject to administrative withdrawal and will have a W for the course on their transcripts.

Historically, litigation involved the adjudication of disputes between individual parties over discreet claims. See, Best Practices in Federal Pretrial Litigation I. In the modern world, it has become increasingly common for legal disputes to involve multiple parties, battling over multiple claims in separate forums. For example, in the federal courts, over 35% of all cases involve multidistrict litigation under the aegis of the Panel in Multidistrict Litigation and many more pending in the state courts. And, as the world is increasingly interconnected, this trend is likely to accelerate.

The purpose of the course is not only to acquaint students with the doctrinal underpinning of the law of multiple party litigation but also to expose them as well to the practical realities of the application of these general principles to day-to-day aggregate and complex litigation in the federal courts.

The course will involve readings from the basic text and cases, other materials available in electronic data bases, class discussion based on the readings and written exercises.

Short Course Attendance Policy:
Due to the small number of meetings, attendance to all meetings/classes for short courses is mandatory. Students who miss more than one class session (80 minute) of a 1-credit short course are subject to administrative withdrawal and will have a W for the course on their transcripts.
 

This course will explore various legal, business and government affairs issues related to bidding for and hosting major sporting events (e.g., Super Bowls, NFL Draft, CFP Championships, Olympics, FIFA World Cup, etc.) from multiple perspectives, including, the sports league/organization, host city, host committee, host venues, event sponsors and event media partners.

This elective course will be held at Hard Rock Stadium. In-person attendees will need to furnish roof of COVID-19 vaccination in compliance with Hard Rock Stadium’s office access policies. Those that are unable to comply with the vacination requirement can be approved for a hyrbid online option. Class size will be limited.
 

Human rights advocates and governments have increasingly focused on corporate accountability for human rights impacts. Corporations that have touted excellent corporate social responsibility records have been accused of complicity with corrupt governments by engaging in a wide range of misdeeds including infringing upon free speech rights; utilizing child and forced labor; limiting freedom of association; destroying the environment; ignoring the will of indigenous peoples; and perpetuating unreasonably dangerous conditions for workers. In 2011, the United Nations Human Rights Council unanimously endorsed a corporate responsibility to respect human rights and the American Bar Association has informed members, particularly corporate lawyers, that they must be aware of and counsel clients on these issues. Nations are discussing a potential treaty, regulators and institutional investors are asking more questions about business and human rights, and the world is focusing on environmental, social, and governance factors (ESG). Nonetheless, there are currently no binding international laws or treaties related to business and human rights. In the absence of legal obligations, what is the role of the corporation vis a vis the state regarding human rights?

This course analyzes the issues faced by human rights advocates, nongovernmental organizations, governments, stakeholders, institutional investors, and transnational corporations as they attempt to balance the needs of business with those of the larger community around them. We will look at human rights issues in supply chains, megasporting events, fast fashion, technology, the extractive industries, and financial institutions. Class assignments will include simulations, role playing, debates, policy statements, and press releases related to companies such as Facebook, Amazon, Nestle, Coca Cola, and other household names. The final exam will consist of a paper. Students may choose to draft legislation, a national action plan on business and human rights, policy papers, a complaint against a company, or a case study regarding a current or recent event.

SKILLS OR CAN BE USED FOR WRITING CREDIT WITH A LONGER PAPER.

This course investigates the law pertaining to businesses, starting with the law of agency and partnership (with a bit of the law of limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other organizational forms thrown in), and concluding with corporate law, the goals of the course. Students are assumed to know nothing of business law, or indeed, of business itself. The course operates on the premise that all lawyers need to understand the underlying notions taught herein. There is practically no area of human interaction that does not involve notions of agency. Partnerships can be complicated endeavors, but may also include small family entities. Likewise, corporations may be very large, or very small (again, things like family corporations). One need not be a "business lawyer" to encounter the fundamentals of business law, in areas as diverse as family law, commercial law and intellectual property. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine any legal practice that is divorced from concepts of business association law. Other operative principles for the course: (a) that the law in all domains is united by a core of fundamental principles, based on basic concepts of business and economics; (b) that an understanding of those principles is best achieved by starting with relatively simple business relationships (agency, partnership) and progressing to more complex ones (corporations) and (c) that having achieved such an understanding, students will be able to analyze business problems that arise, and even new organizational forms, whether or not such problems and organizations have been studied before. Thus, although the course includes considerable analysis of individual cases and particular statutes, these are only means to a greater end: a comprehension of how the law of business associations operates overall, and why. Issues concerning regulation of business (e.g., by the Securities and Exchange Commission) and taxation of businesses are considered only in passing.

This course begins where Civil Procedure I ends, providing in-depth coverage of all stages of civil litigation. One objective of the course is to provide a strong background in the law of modern American civil procedure. Thus, the course will be of interest to those students focusing on litigation, as well as those students who plan to focus on transactional law but want a better understanding of litigation risk management. But another objective of the course is to consider the policy implications of procedural law. Law school classes tend to distinguish the "substantive" law from the "procedure" by which the law is adjudicated, but the two are intertwined. In fact, substantive law can be thwarted by such mundane procedural doctrines as the specificity required in a complaint. Accordingly, the course will introduce students to analytical methods to assess the impact of procedures on the substantive aims of the law. Topics covered in the course include pleading, motion practice, discovery, summary judgment, trial, settlement theory and practice, alternative dispute resolution, arbitration, joinder, judgments, and appellate review.

This 4 credit course is offered online to upper division 2L and 3L students only (and not as a first-year elective). It will meet 3 hours a week in two 1 1/2 hour sessions. The additional credit is provided by asynchronous materials.

This course combines study of UCC Articles 2 (sales) and 9 (secured transaction) in a single course focusing on business to business sales and commercial financing of goods, including equipment and inventory. Subject matter will include a more in-depth look at topics likely introduced in a first year contracts course (such as statute of frauds, the battle of the forms, parol evidence and damage calculations) as well as introduction of substantial new material relevant both to sales law and to secured financings (the purpose and structure of security agreements, types of collateral, attachment, perfection and priority of security interests for secured creditors, creditor remedies, and relevant aspects of Federal bankruptcy law.) The goal of the course is to cover basic topics in sales and secured transactions that are fundamentally important in business transactions. Students in the course will be required to view online lecture materials either prior to, or following completion of, each set of assigned readings in the text. These lecture materials consist of both outlines prepared by the instructor and, in some cases, video presentations. The course will use Microsoft Teams for class management, including channels to discuss questions periodically posed by the instructor, questions on assigned readings and questions raised by students. Students will be required to participate in these Microsoft Teams discussions to receive credit for the course. Course materials prepared by Professor Widen will be posted to TEAMS/Blackboard. Students will log on to the Zoom sessions via Blackboard. Group emails will be sent to the class via the email feature of Blackboard.
