Health and Human Rights (KPPI-933-0)
The course examines the intersection of health and international human rights. Readings and discussion will focus on whether there is a universal right to health; how to maximize access to health; the health implications of war crimes and atrocities; and the meaning of rights and access in resource-poor settings such as refugee camps and fragile states. Special attention will be paid to the role of corporate social responsibility and advanced economies in access to health. Students will work in interdisciplinary groups on a health assessment and intervention known as the Access to Health Project. Headed by Professor Sorensen of the Center for International Human Rights and Carolyn Baer, Deputy Director of the Center for Global Health at Feinberg Medical School, the Access to Health Project seeks to leverage academic partnerships to maximize access to health in communities in the developing world. Specifically, this class will participate in a needs assessment and intervention for a community in Mali as it emerges from civil conflict facing significant challenges to health and economic development. where public health issues in the area include malnutrition; maternal mortality; and disease that is treatable by basic vaccinations such as tetanus, typhoid, and measles. The needs assessment will reflect human rights, public health and sustainability considerations. In lieu of an exam, student teams will prepare a final written report detailing their findings and recommendations.

White Collar Criminal Practice (CRIM-675)
This course addresses various issues related to criminal procedure and the criminal process, and it frequently analyzes them through the lens of the modern complex federal criminal case. Modern criminal organizations present unique challenges to the criminal justice system, both in terms of the substantive law that has developed to address organized criminal activity and in terms of the procedures by which persons charged with such criminal misconduct are tried. In part, the course will focus upon both the prosecution of and representation of clients charged with business crimes, including corporate criminal liability. Issues covered during the class include questions relating to grand jury practice, electronic monitoring and investigative techniques, substantive federal law of conspiracy and RICO, joinder and severance, evidentiary matters, sentencing, and prosecutorial and judicial discretion. The course will also consider representation issues and plea negotiations. Students who do not necessarily intend to practice criminal law but who intend to represent domestic businesses will benefit from this course. Students will from time to time be called upon in class to advocate the positions of the government and the defense. PRE-REQUISITES/RESTRICTIONS: LITARB 635 Evidence and CRIM 610 Constitutional Criminal Procedure are strongly recommended but not required.
