The purpose of this course is for students to gain an understanding of the digital asset industry and its impact on the future of society and governance. Digital assets and smart contracting enable a revolution of applications in most industries and especially in the legal industry. Yet, the development of these technology driven solutions depend on decentralized governance, which is still in its very early stages of development. Students will learn how decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are replacing existing corporate entities and 503 (b) non-profits as well as B-Corporations. DAOs can help create a nurturing environment for the evolution of the digital asset industry through decentralized DAO governance. DAO governance is a key legal issue for the development of this asset class and inevitably requires legal expertise. Key ideas that will be discussed include reputation systems and reputation-based DAO governance, historiography, and transcendental unifying values. Based on the understanding of challenges and opportunities presented by decentralized governance, students will develop the ability to discern their own possible value proposition in the disruption of businesses in various industries. The course emphasizes the importance of student skills at the intersection between law, business, finance, computer science, and psychology.

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.

Privacy and data protection are fundamental issues in the digital world and the growing information economy. Almost every commercial business involves the processing of personal data either for its primary purpose or in its administration. Collecting, storing, transferring, or otherwise processing the personal data of individuals creates a multitude of legal and compliance obligations which these laws seek to regulate. This course will examine the sectoral and comprehensive models of current privacy laws, data subject rights, international data transfers, strategic differentiators, emerging laws, information security concepts, and applicable legal cases. By investigating these topics, students will have a foundational knowledge of privacy and security laws, individual rights, business obligations, and regulatory requirements.

Oral communication away from the courtroom is a universally necessary skill.  Lawyers advising companies, speaking at public hearings, leading nonprofits, or managing their own firms need strong presentation skills.  This course provides direct experience with preparing and delivering presentations to varied audiences on legal topics. Students will study presentation techniques as a framework, but the emphasis of the course is on doing: students will make presentations throughout the class. The course progresses from simple oral presentations to presentations on broader topics where the students develop slides, build messaging, rehearse the presentation, and deliver it to an audience.
