Courses Taught at the University of Florida (2008-09)
- Criminal Law (Fall 2008) — Course Number 4594 (Credits: 3) — VIEW SYLLABUS
This class proposes to introduce students to general principles of the substantive criminal law. Major topics include (1) the justification for punishment, (2) the definition of criminal conduct, (3) rape, (4) homicide, (5) the significance of resulting harm, (6) group criminality, and (7) the grounds for exculpation. - Health Care Law (Fall 2008) — Course Number 3367 (Credits: 3) — VIEW SYLLABUS
This introductory course will attempt to survey the law governing a large and heavily regulated market: the provision of health care. Our discussion will cover the three basic relationships: (1) between provider and patient; (2) among patient, provider, and state; and (3) among providers, the state, and institutions such as third-party payers and guilds. Particular attention will be paid to those exceptional features of medical care claimed as justifying the law's intrusion into — or absence from — these relations: Do the presence of disease, pain, and possible death call for greater, lesser, or different regulation than governs the markets for other goods and services? - Criminal Investigation (Spring 2009) — Course Number 6111 (Credits: 3) — VIEW SYLLABUS
The course proposes to explore the Constitutional law that defines permissible police procedure in criminal investigations. Our primary concern will be the Supreme Court’s interpretations of the Fourth (searches and seizures), Fifth (self-incrimination), and Sixth Amendments (right to counsel in the investigatory stage). - Public Health Law and National Security Seminar (Spring 2009) — Course Number 6936 (Credits: 2) — VIEW SYLLABUS
This course will examine the origins and present state of public health law, a formerly antiquated but now vibrant body of law, in light of current national security concerns. Topics to be considered include compelled vaccination, disease reporting, and isolation and quarantine. Course requirements include a substantial research paper and a class presentation.
