CheckMarq will automatically close a course once the enrollment limit is reached. Appointment
times are based on number of credits earned – the more credits earned, the earlier the
appointment time.

Students who are interested in taking seminars, workshops, and advanced legal research courses
should register as soon after their appointed times as possible. The longer you wait, the greater
the likelihood that a specific course will be closed.

7.
Students who are closed out of courses may complete the waiting list form available on the website and
in Room 238 and submit it to Dean Thomson. The deadline for submission is Monday, April 13, 2015, at
noon. Deans Parlow and Thomson will develop waiting lists based on the number of credits a student
has earned to date. Waiting lists will be posted on the Law School website and students will be notified
via their Marquette e-mail if a space becomes available. Do not attempt to use the waiting list feature
available through CheckMarq. Students submitting forms after the deadline will be added to the
end of the waiting list. Waiting lists will be updated throughout the summer, so please check
your Marquette email frequently.
8.
Waiting lists are in effect until the first class meeting. After that time, it is up to the professor
whom, if anyone, she or he will allow in the course.
9.
Also note Section 703 of the Law School Academic Regulations concerning deadlines for adding and
dropping courses.
10.
If you plan to take Directed Research or Graduate Assistant during the fall semester, please complete
the appropriate form (available on the Law School website or in Room 238) and submit it to Dean
Thomson. She will handle the actual registration.

DEVELOPMENT
PROFESSOR:
Whaley-Smith
DESCRIPTION:
Community and Economic Development (CED) Law fills the gap when market forces are
not sufficient to provide low-income communities with the affordable housing and other services they need. Topics
include an overview of the real estate development process, an in-depth analysis of incentives used by the CED industry
such as low-income housing tax credits, HOME funds, New Market Tax Credits, Renewable Tax Credits, Tax
Incremental Districts, Business Improvement Districts, Brownfields incentives, and other resources. An emphasis is
placed on how entrepreneurship and the real estate development process in core urban areas differ from
entrepreneurship and development driven by market forces. Students interested in real estate law, contracts, small
businesses law, tax law, non-profit law and urban issues will benefit most from this course.

FACULTY COMMENTS: Course comments: Economic Development, and the role the government should play in the
economy, has dominated the political conversation since the recent recession. The federal, state and local
governments spend billions of dollars a year on economic development. In the city of Milwaukee alone, more than
$100,000,000 is spent each year just on affordable housing. These economic programs are also a major source of
employment for attorneys and regulators. The U.S. department of Housing and Urban Development, for example,
employs over 10,000 employees.
This class will give a detailed overview of the tools government uses for economic development and how private
developers and employers can access these resources. Emphasis is placed on the role of the attorney in these complex
transactions.
Evaluation Comments: The course will include three evaluation measures: (1) Class Participation, (2) A Mid-Term
Short Essay and (3) a final in-the-classroom examination. For final examination students will be allowed to use one
8.5” x 11”, double sided, sheet of self-prepared notes (may be handwritten or word processed).
COURSE TITLE:
CLEMENCY
COURSE #: 7137 101
PROFESSOR:
O’Hear
DESCRIPTION:
In the American constitutional system, presidents and governors have the power to grant
clemency (pardons or sentence commutations) to convicted offenders. Historically, clemency has played an important
role in correcting wrongful convictions and mitigating excessively harsh sentences. Students in this course will learn
how the executive clemency process works and will prepare one or more clemency petitions for actual clients under
the instructor’s supervision. This process involves extensive document collection and review, one or more interviews
of the client and others, legal research, and the drafting of a persuasive memorandum.
The course is a two-semester experience; both semesters must be taken in order to earn credit. Students will meet
weekly with the instructor over the two semesters, sometimes in a classroom setting with other students and sometimes
in one-on-one conversations to discuss the student’s assigned cases. Classroom sessions will be concentrated in the
fall term. In the spring term, students will focus on their casework.
The course is ungraded (pass/fail). Enrollment is limited to four students. Students must have the instructor’s
permission to register for this course.

DESCRIPTION:
Focus on the principal individual rights protections of the United States Constitution: Equal
protection, including race and sex discrimination and the emerging conflict over "reverse" discrimination; freedom of
expression, including the law of subversive advocacy, defamation, obscenity, and commercial speech; and the problem
of state action, the relationship between the Constitution and private discrimination.

COURSE STATUS:
Open Enrollment. Satisfies the Law School public law requirement
METHOD(S) OF EVALUATION: In-class portion of final examination during the final examination period, take-home
final examination distributed on 11/19 and due 12/16
FACULTY COMMENTS: This course picks up where the individual rights material of the required 1L course in
constitutional law leaves off, moving beyond the due process protections of the fifth and fourteenth amendments to
explore the equal protection and free expression guarantees, guarantees that have garnered especially substantial
attention from the nation’s highest court during the past six decades. In between our consideration of equal protection
and free expression we will examine another important aspect of the constitutional law of individual liberties: the socalled state action requirement, which serves to remind that the principal individual rights protections of the national
constitution (including but not limited to equal protection and free expression) are rooted in an effort to constrain the
exercise of government power rather than the exercise of private power, a fact with which courts have struggled mightily
as the line between government action and private action in contemporary America has become increasingly blurred.
We will pause on multiple occasions throughout the course to explore ways in which Wisconsin law, and Wisconsin
courts, specifically grapple with these matters.
A deliberate objective of the course is to enable students to grasp and be able to work as new lawyers with the current
constitutional status of the variety of mini-categories subsumed under the equal protection and free expression
umbrellas -- among them (a) government classifications based on race, sex, sexual orientation, and a host of other
criteria; (b) laws directed against speech encouraging third-parties to break the law; (c) the private civil action for
defamation; (d) government efforts to restrict obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive expression; and (e)
government efforts to regulate commercial speech.
As indicated above, the course will feature a two-part examination – one part of the “in-class” variety, one part of the
“take-home” variety – as its principal but not exclusive evaluative tool. In addition to the examination, one (1) or more
exceedingly brief “response papers” is / are likely to be assigned.
The final grade received by each student will be shaped by four factors: (1) the quality of performance on the
examination; (2) the quality of performance on any other writing assignment(s); (3) attendance; and (4) the quality of
in-class contribution to the learning of others. Insofar as the last of these factors is concerned, conscientious
preparation for class as well as substantial engagement in the in-class conversation will be expected from each student.

DESCRIPTION:
The law governing sexual orientation has evolved significantly in recent years, with new
judicial precedent, legislative actions, statewide referenda, and an intensely divided public opinion. The prevalence of
laws affecting gay men and lesbians is at a historical peak. This course will explore how the law addresses
contemporary issues affecting sexual orientation. It will focus on an objective examination of a variety of issues affecting
gay men and lesbians, such as those arising under the criminal law, the law governing the employment relationship
and the provision of employee benefits, trusts and estates law, family law, health law, military law, the law of privacy,
and constitutional law (especially equal protection and First Amendment rights). The course will emphasize an
interdisciplinary approach, with an analysis of how social, cultural, and political forces shape legal doctrine. It seeks to
provide practical guidance to a new generation of lawyers likely to represent gay and lesbian clients as well as corporate
clients that encounter issues relating to gays and lesbians

COURSE TITLE:
MANAGED HEALTH CARE
COURSE #: 7280 101
PROFESSOR:
Hintz
DESCRIPTION:
Managed Health Care law examines the expanding field of legal practice in the everchanging health care industry. The movement of many (if not all) employers to some form of “managed care,” the
continued consolidation within insurance, hospital, and medical market sectors, and a multitude of proposed and
enacted laws and regulations and court decisions make this area fertile ground for myriad types of legal work. Managed
Health Care Law offers the student an understanding of the health care industry itself, the rise (and potential recession)
of “traditional” managed care, and the significant roles attorneys play in virtually all areas of both. The course will also
introduce students to the wide range of practice settings in which lawyers are involved in the health care industry and
the various clients they represent.

MILWAUKEE STREET LAW PROJECT
COURSE #: 7286 701
PROFESSORS:
Bricco and Shadman
Law students teach a two-semester course to Milwaukee public high school students that is designed to foster in the
high school students an understanding of the law, legal process, our system of governance, and effective citizenship.
To accomplish this the law students devote three hours per week at their assigned high schools. In the fall semester law
students teach such subjects as criminal law and procedure, juvenile justice, driver licensing, consumer law, torts,
family law, housing law, and individual rights law. In the spring semester the law students teach basic trial advocacy
skills and their high school students participate as lawyers and witnesses in a city-wide mock trial competition presided
over by federal and state trial court judges. Throughout the school year, law students also help their high school
students develop basic academic skills such as reading, writing, listening, oral expression, problem solving and
analytical thinking; they also teach skills necessary for responsible participation in a democratic society.
A two-hour seminar is conducted for the law students each week which focuses on substantive law as well as interactive
teaching methodologies. Law students are required to submit weekly journals, lesson plans and timesheets. Among
the lawyering skills emphasized are critical thinking, organization and prioritization, planning and preparation, and
effective communication with lay persons.

SPIRITUALITY
PROFESSOR:
Umbreit
DESCRIPTION:
This course will examine the influence of spirituality upon the process of resolving conflict
and making peace in the context of intense interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts in multiple settings, including in
intimate relationships, friendships, families, workplaces, between communities, among current or former enemies, or
within ourselves.
During the past two decades, the field of conflict resolution and mediation has grown extensively in multiple settings
throughout North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. Whereas conflict resolution theory and practice
focuses upon a problem solving model to address the presenting dispute, peacemaking addresses conflict at a much
deeper level. Peacemaking is based on a humanistic and transformative theory of conflict that draws heavily upon core
values of empowerment, mutual recognition, collaboration, dialogue, and healing, as well as the ancient wisdom and
practices of many diverse indigenous cultures throughout the world (including Native American and Celtic traditions).
Within the context of these traditions, true peacemaking is inseparable from spirituality, from honoring the sacred and
recognizing our interconnectedness.
For the purposes of this course, spirituality is not synonymous with the dogma and creeds of the major religious
traditions in the world, even though religion for many may serve as a pathway to spirituality. Practices within the major
religions of the world that foster peacemaking, however, will be explored, along with the practices from a number of
different cultures.
This course is designed to provide a basic understanding of the core principles and practices of peacemaking and
spirituality in the context of multiple interpersonal, community, national, and international settings. Graded
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD
COURSE #: 7587 101
PROFESSOR:
McChrystal
DESCRIPTION:
While truthfulness is an important legal and ethical value, the law does not consistently
require truthfulness in our dealings with others, even in circumstances where the stakes are high. There are many
examples: The law tolerates some willful and material lies by government officials during the course of criminal
investigations. Lawyers are generally permitted to withhold crucial information in fulfillment of their duty of
confidentiality. Although witnesses in legal proceedings must swear to tell the whole truth, the rules of evidence may
prohibit them from doing so. This seminar analyzes where courts have drawn the line in permitting and punishing
deception.
