REGLAW 901-0 Legal & Regulatory Process (1.5 Credit Hours)   This course introduces students to the key elements of the U.S. legal system. We will look at the constitutional structure of government, the sources of lawmaking authority, and the manner in which Congress, the administrative state, and the judiciary collaborate in developing rules of applicable law. Along the way, we will study the judicial and lawmaking system, the regulatory design and implementation process, and, to some degree, mechanisms of dispute resolution. Given the unique focus of the MSL program, we will pay special attention to how the American legal system considers, evaluates, and negotiates matters involving science and technology.

REGLAW 902-0 U.S. Regulation: Design, Implementation, and Enforcement (1.5 Credit Hours)   This class explores the different modes of regulation that have been used in the United States to tackle a range of issues, including pollution control, energy production, climate change, food and drug safety, and shareholder protection. We consider the advantages and disadvantages of various modes of regulation, including: prescriptive "command and control" regulation (e.g., drug warning label requirements), market-based regulation (e.g., carbon taxes and tradeable pollution permits as a way to mitigate climate change), informational regulation (e.g., mandatory disclosure of toxic releases and impact assessments), and regulation through common law liability (e.g., tort suit judgments in products liability cases). One focus of the class is the complicated relationships among the federal, state and local governments in the U.S. regulatory system, including federal preemption of state and local regulation and federal/state cooperation in regulatory implementation and enforcement. We also explore the legal issues surrounding the different kinds of enforcement actions companies can face (administrative, civil,and criminal), and the role of whistleblowers and citizen suits in regulatory enforcement. Finally, the role of lawyers and the attorney-client privilege in regulatory compliance and enforcement will be considered, with particular reference to federal regulation of public corporations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Students will be assessed based on their participation in discussion each week, as well as a final paper. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 915-0 Technology Standards: Strategic & Antitrust Considerations (1.5 Credit Hours)   Technology standards permeate the modern economy, from WiFi and mobile phones to complex medical equipment to smart thermostats and electric cars. These standards would not exist but for the voluntary, cooperative efforts of numerous companies - often from what would at first appear to be far-flung industries. This survey course will explain the pivotal business strategies related to technology standards, including whether a firm may want to join a cooperative effort or whether instead it may prefer to try for a proprietary solution on its own. We will review the fundamentals of participating in cooperative standard setting organizations, the strategies that firms employ in such participation, and how participation can affect a firm's intellectual property acquisition and licensing decisions - most importantly related to patenting. Finally, we will discuss the basic elements of how firms compete in the multifaceted world of technology standards and will review the primary antitrust risks that come hand-in-hand with aggressive competition. The initial classes will be traditional lecture/discussion and will focus on foundational issues. We anticipate bringing in an industry practitioner for an in-depth interview on how their firm makes strategic decisions regarding standard participation. Another class will involve a standard setting exercise; for this, students will assess the opportunities relating to an emerging standard for their assigned "company," deciding on their optimal strategy and attempting to win other "companies" over to their side. Grade assessments will be based on in-class preparedness and participation (10%), a writing assignment and a presentation, matching skills required in real world jobs. The in-class presentation will comprise 45% of the grade and includes both a group and an individual contribution score. The out-of-class writing assignment is a memo providing an antitrust risk assessment for the student's ""company"" and is broken down into a a first draft and a final draft.

Students will be able to identify and evaluate the various interests and issues at play in order to develop their own unique philosophy regarding the appropriate construction of intercollegiate athletics policy. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 920-0 Digital Data: Privacy, Policy & Governance (1.5 Credit Hours)   This class will focus on the evolving data ecosystem within the existing legal and regulatory landscape, which is also evolving. It will: 1) explain the technology underlying the tracking, collection and aggregation of consumer data, 2) identify the first and third party data aggregators, and outline what they do, 3) explore how business uses consumer data, particularly for its marketing purposes, and 4) provide the legal and regulatory perspective toward the industry¿s behavior and practices. The class will cover a number of recent court cases and Federal Trade Commission enforcement actions as a way to enhance understanding of the critical data privacy issues facing business. As part of the evaluation for the course, teams of 3-4 students will work on a project based on a hypothetical situation with students forming interdisciplinary teams representing legal, tech and business operations. Obviously, a bit of role-playing will be required. The project will require the launch of a new product (probably an app) incorporating a ¿privacy by design¿ approach and data governance best practices. Teams will demonstrate compliance with relevant statutes and regulations, and address the building of a corporate culture where business, legal and technology collaborate. The project will be assigned day 1, so students will have the entire 6-7 weeks to complete it, with readings and class discussion supporting their efforts. Project deliverables will include a brief ¿executive¿ presentation by each team, accompanied by a written plan and recommendations. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 921-0 Emerging Issues in Biotech & Food (1 Credit Hour)   The advance of technology commonly brings great gains for society; however, those advances often also bring about new societal challenges. These challenges must be met with either the application and adaptation of existing laws and regulations or the development of entirely new legal structures. The study and application of biology – loosely defined as biotechnology – has seen monumental advancements in the last few decades. Impacts of these biological advances have been seen in industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, food and agriculture, banking, and family law. This course allows students the opportunity to explore recent technological developments in biotechnology and food technology, concentrating on the social, ethical and legal effects of these developments. The course begins with a professor-led series of discussions centered around new technologies from various industries and their resulting societal challenges. The class will discuss existing and emerging ethical and legal regimes for these technologies. In the second half of the course, students will be required to research a technological topic of their choice (with professor approval) and lead a substantial class discussion on the technology and its social, ethical, and legal effects.

REGLAW 922-0 Data Privacy: Law, Regulation & Application (1.5 Credit Hours)   This class focuses on the current global regulatory environment and how corporate actors can and should address this increasingly complex and rapidly changing area. In this interactive, activity-based class, we will look at some of the most important privacy issues facing companies today, including facilitating individual rights, limiting information collection and use, providing disclosures and choices, and much more. We will look at and compare a variety of regulatory approaches, and we will examine the history of privacy laws and the overarching themes they reflect. Our approach will be to use a series of data protection principles as a framework to analyze different situations. This course is jointly taught by an in-house privacy officer and outside privacy counsel; this combination will give you a unique view into the world of privacy today. Grading in this practical, hands-on seminar will be based on interactive in-class exercises and a series of short papers. Readings will be provided, including from a treatise being prepared by one of the professors. This class works well in conjunction with the Spring 2 Data Security class, but it is not a formal prerequisite for that class. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 923-0 Managing Privacy & Cybersecurity for Corporate Actors (1 Credit Hour)   This interactive class will provide students with insights into some of the key issues that face corporate actors under privacy and cyber security laws.

REGLAW 940-0 Medical Devices: Regulation & Compliance (1 Credit Hour)   This course will examine the regulation of medical devices and the interplay of statutory law, industry standards, and regulatory agency guidance. We will explore Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations; requirements for the development, manufacturing, and distribution of these products; and compliant interactions between industry and physicians (and other healthcare providers. We will also look at healthcare fraud and abuse, including the anti-kickback statute. The course will cover the regulatory and compliance considerations for: • Bringing a medical device to market for the first time • Keeping that medical device product on the market • Compliance considerations in the sales and marketing of medical devices • Expanding sales and marketing of the device into other geographies While the primary focus will be on the US to establish a foundation, the course also will provide insight to medical device regulation and compliance globally. Additionally, where appropriate, a comparison of medical devices to other regulated products such as drugs and biologics will be highlighted. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 942-0 Climate Change: Law & Policy (1 Credit Hour)   Energy is at the heart of the modern world's economic and societal progress, without which we could very well likely still be living in caves and grass huts and dying by the ripe age of 21. Energy is also at the heart of the dramatic rise in global warming and the unprecedented damage this warming is causing to our climate, our environment and our selves. This means we are faced with a challenge: how do we continue to support worldwide economic growth and the quality of life for millions it will provide, an economic growth which in large part still must be fueled by energy consumption, yet at the same time significantly reduce the global warming caused by the very GHG emissions such energy consumption has spawned and address and adapt to the adverse climate change impacts that are already baked into our climate system. This class will explore the law's role in meeting this existential challenge. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the major legal principles, statutes, regulations and policies applicable to the energy area; explore from a legal perspective some of the significant issues in the energy space today, with a focus on climate change; and use the intersection of energy and the law to examine the process by which our society makes major public policy, commercial and individual decisions involving complex issues of science and technology.

REGLAW 945-0 Healthcare Finance (0.5 Credit Hour)   This course explores how healthcare is paid for in the United States and will seek to answer the following questions: To what degree is healthcare available without regard to a patient’s ability to pay? What mechanisms are used to pay for healthcare and how are effective are these at ensuring access? What is the legal framework surrounding payment for healthcare? More specifically, the topics covered in this course are: (1) The United Nations classifies healthcare as a fundamental human right. This principle is in tension with a healthcare delivery system that makes access to health care contingent on payment. In this class we will explore the degree to which key federal and state laws ensure access to healthcare services regardless of a patient's ability to pay. (2) There are a variety of traditional and non-traditional ways in which we pay for health care in the U.S., including charity care, private pay, commercial insurance (employer-sponsored and individually purchased) and governmental healthcare programs and facilities. In this class we will become familiar with these mechanisms and how they are regulated. At the conclusion of the class, students should be able to understand the dynamics of, and think critically about, how healthcare is financed in the United States. This understanding is critical for anyone involved in healthcare delivery or finance and useful, even if you are not! Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 970-0 Health Care Law and Regulation (1 Credit Hour)   The delivery of health care items and services is a major commercial enterprise, with national health expenditures accounting for 17.5% of Gross Domestic Product in 2014. As a guardian of the public interest, the government is involved in regulating the delivery of health care, so as to protect patient rights, assure quality, and limit provider conflicts of interest. As the most significant source of payment for health care items and services, the government also has a compelling interest in cost transparency and containment. This course will provide an overview of some of the key state and federal laws that address these public policy goals, with reference to recent events, including, for example, news stories, enforcement actions, and shareholder suits. At the conclusion of the course, you should have sufficient familiarity with the legal landscape to enable you to be an effective contributor to efforts to bring compliant health care products and services to market. By way of example, this course will introduce you to state laws dealing with professional and facility licensing, CON, fee splitting and corporate practice, and to federal laws dealing with kickbacks, civil money penalties, open payments, and false claims. This course will explore the context, substance and purpose of these laws, with a view to identifying the imperatives, obstacles and opportunities that they create. At the conclusion of the course, you should have sufficient familiarity with the legal landscape to enable you to be an effective contributor to efforts to bring compliant health care products and services to market. This course will build on the principles learned in the Legal and Regulatory Process course, and is related to, but not duplicative of, the following courses: Global Business Regulation and Risk Assessment; Regulatory Compliance (distinction: this course is focused on U.S. regulation and compliance rather than on global compliance, and on the substance of the regulation rather than on compliance strategies); Corporate Criminal Law (distinction: this course will touch on corporate criminal law as just one of many theories of liability and regulation); Regulation: Medicine and Health (distinction: this course may touch on but is not focused on FDA matters); and, Integration of Science and Clinical Care (distinction: this course may touch on but is not focused on the intersection of these two areas). No pre-requisites. No final exam required. No required text. All required readings will be posted in Canvas. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 972-0 Healthcare Law & Regulation: State (1 Credit Hour)   This course is designed to introduce students to the regulatory scheme that governs the US health care system, with an emphasis on matters traditionally regulated by state governments. In addition to other topics, we will explore the manner in which the delivery of health care services and products is regulated to protect significant individual and societal interests such as patient autonomy, the quality of medical care, and market competition. By the end of the course, students will have been introduced to some of the key bodies of state health care regulation, such as: regulating informed consent; requiring professional licensure - including the regulation of telemedicine and the activities of alternative providers; and seeking to assure professional autonomy - such as anti-fee-splitting laws and the prohibition against the corporate practice of medicine. This information will enable students to play an active role in identifying, understanding and navigating the State regulations applicable to projects with which they will become professionally involved. Grades will be based on a combination of class participation, in-class projects and presentations, and a short written project. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 973-0 Health Law (1 Credit Hour)   This is a survey course intended to provide students with an overview of the structure, financing and regulation of the U.S. health care system. Specifically, in this course, we will learn to think of the health care system as a three-legged stool comprised of three elements: cost, quality and access. Further, we will consider how health care laws and regulations aimed at these elements (e.g., improving quality, reducing cost, and increasing access) impact the three primary stakeholders in the U.S. health care system: providers, consumers/patients, and payors. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 974-0 Healthcare Law & Regulation: Federal (1 Credit Hour)   Through Medicare, Medicaid and various other health care programs, the Federal government is responsible for a significant percentage of national health care expenditures. Several bodies of law have developed to protect against the possibility that these expenditures are being exploited through the provision of sub-standard, unnecessary, or overly expensive goods and services. We will focus primarily on the criminal and civil laws that are incidental to Federal government's role in health care finance. By the end of the course, students will have been introduced to some of the key bodies of Federal health care regulation, including the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute, Stark law, Sunshine/Open Payments Act and the False Claims Act. This will enable students to play an active role in identifying, understanding and navigating the Federal regulations applicable to projects with which they will become professionally involved. Grades will be based on a combination of class participation, in-class projects and presentations, and a short written project. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 975-0 Food Policy and Regulation (1 Credit Hour)   This course will explore the role of regulation and policy in the contemporary food system.

Topics may include: food safety, labeling and marketing, local food, and urban agriculture. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 980-0 Regulatory Compliance: Product Approval & Life Cycle Issues (1.5 Credit Hours)   In this course, students will be exposed to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), which regulate the Biopharmaceutical Industry. Students will learn how companies interpret the regulations to comply with the spirit of the law as well as the legal implications they face when they don't comply. This will be accomplished in a series of lectures that cover; - Biopharmaceutical product development and approval, i.e., how to get a drug commercially approved for sale, - Post-approval, modifications/improvements required to keep pace with changes in; regulations, market competition, needs of a diverse patient population, manufacturing costs, i.e. product lifecycle maintenance "LCM", - What it means to operate in compliance with cGMPs and how FDA monitors and enforces cGMP regulations. What happens when companies fall into non-compliance and how non-compliance can escalate; i.e., form 483 observations, warning letters, consent decrees, etc., - A deep dive into understanding the breadth and depth of impact non-compliance both internal and external to the company. On completion of this course students should have: an appreciation for the regulatory landscape for life science product development, an appreciation of factors impacting a company's ability to achieve and maintain compliance and the trade-offs that must be made, an understanding of how you, as a patient or caregiver, are impacted by pharmaceutical non-compliance, and how far reaching the impacts of non-compliance can be. As part of an intensive course project, that runs in parallel with lectures, students will evaluate business trade-offs and the impact of each to maintain compliance while ensuring sustainable drug supply to meet demand. At the end of the course students will present their deep dive assessment of real life, current warning letter situations affecting local biopharmaceutical companies. Prerequisites: Regulatory Strategy & Communication. Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 981-0 Along the Regulatory Frontier: New Issues and Emerging Technologies (1.5 Credit Hours)   How does regulation account for new issues and emerging technologies? This has always been a conundrum for lawmakers, agency officials, and the judiciary as well. In this course, we will consider this question by focusing on “frontier” subjects of regulation: artificial intelligence and machine learning; drug policy (including cannabis, psychedelics, & opioids); public health emergencies stemming from novel viruses, such as Covid-19; and new ways of creating more access to justice and furnishing legal services, including by non-lawyers. In considering these rapidly-evolving topics, we will explore how existing institutions and doctrines can be adapted to meet new demands and what other tools and techniques must be developed to meet upcoming challenges along the regulatory frontier.

REGLAW 990-0 Dynamics of the Cannabis Industry: Past, Present & Future (0.5 Credit Hour)   On November 5, 1996, California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis, thus starting a two-decade journey where several states enacted laws allowing citizens access to cannabis for medical purposes - creating a legal industry based on a substance that had been federally illegal since the 1930s. Often light on structure, many programs appeared unregulated; basically giving people access to cannabis under the guise that it was "legal" in the state while continuing to be illegal on a federal level. On August 29, 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an update to its federal cannabis enforcement policy. While not a change in federal law, the DOJ memo, often referred to as the Cole Memo, provided states with a framework for establishing regulated cannabis programs (medical and adult-use) that would defer enforcement of cannabis-related matters to the states. Thus began the new generation of the state-legal cannabis industry. As of today, 29 states plus Puerto Rico and Guam have legalized medical cannabis; 8 of those states have legalized adult-use; and an additional 17 states have enacted CBD-only laws (cannabis containing less than .3% THC) - in total 95% of the U.S. population lives in a state where there is some form of legal cannabis. The legalized cannabis markets produced approximately $7.2B in sales in 2016 and that number is expected to surpass $24B in 2025. That said, cannabis remains federally illegal - the federal government providing only superficial guidance to states on how they can choose to enforce cannabis laws within their state (but only within their state because the federal government will not allow the product to cross state lines) - presenting some of the most unique legal and regulatory issues that any industry has seen. This course is designed to acquaint students with the legal and regulatory challenges present in the emerging cannabis industry. We'll take a look at the very interesting history of cannabis and cannabis legalization/illegalization in the U.S., the current state of federal law and the various state laws and the unique business issues that such conflicting federal/state laws present; we'll review a case study of a company developing a multi-state operation; and we'll look at the various directions that this industry is likely to go in the future.

REGLAW 992-0 RegTech: Transforming the Interaction of Regulators, Regulated Enterprises, and Markets (0.5 Credit Hour)   Additional Course Information: MSL Students Only

REGLAW 995-0 Regulatory Policy (1.5 Credit Hours)   This class builds on the required Legal & Regulatory Process class to enable students to understand how the legal principles of regulatory law translate into actual policies affecting any business operating in America. Almost all major industries are currently subject to some form of regulation. Those managing those businesses-and those introducing new ones-inevitably interact with regulators: courts and administrators. It is thus vital for them to understand the goals these policy-makers are pursuing, their motivations, and the legal tools at their disposal. This course will provide students with the instruments to do so. To achieve that aim we will survey the emergence of American regulatory law, its treatment of specific industries as examples, the economic rationales animating regulatory law, and the most recent controversies affecting it (e.g., the Great Recession of 2008, net neutrality, antitrust and big tech).
