This course examines sentencing, the portion of the criminal process that often matters most to the defendant and to society. The course covers state law, federal law (including the federal sentencing guidelines), and the death penalty. Because far more cases result in a sentencing than go to trial, and because the doctrines and rules that control sentencing can be very complex, the subject is important and challenging. The course is useful for those planning to practice criminal law or those considering it, as well as for those considering federal judicial clerkships. Typically , the grade for the course is determined by a final exam and a sentencing exercise.

LLM US Law Elective
Literature has always provided a vehicle for reflecting on the moral and ethical dimensions of the law, the law’s connection to the fate of individuals, and the unjust social and political structures within which law sometimes operates. In this course we will explore some of the timeless themes of law and society that have been illuminated by fiction and nonfiction writers, such as the relationship between law and equity and between law and morality, the role of custom in shaping law and politics, and the effect of our countries’ racial history on the operation of law. Our readings will include both fiction (from a variety of genres) and non-fiction.

This course will introduce students to the unique principles that apply when the sovereign is a party to a court action. Because the federal government is a party in nearly one- third of all civil cases in the federal courts, an under- standing of these principles is vital for any student interested in litigation or government practice. Students will examine the role of the Department of Justice, the question of federal sovereign immunity, suits against federal officers,a nd awards of attorney's fees against the government. Students also will explore when and how the government responds to injuries that it has caused to its citizens.

Misdemeanor defense externship students will attend classes to learn about the practical and official rules of criminal procedure in Minnesota courtrooms. Students will be assigned to a practicing public defender attorney to learn how to represent clients in different types of proceedings (generally assigned based on student interest - for example, students interested in representing juveniles will be assigned to a juvenile division). Externship students will be expected to track and complete 200 hours of work in this course, with at least 160 of those hours devoted to fieldwork, and students will participate in the classroom component as well. Enrollment in the externship is by application only. To be eligible for a credit-earning externship, a student must first complete a minimum of 28 credits of study. Externship students must be in good standing. Externship students may be subject to other prerequisites/policies as required by the placement.
