da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 196 [Cr.] 2 [Description] Parallel to the legitimate world of international commerce and finance, there exists an alternative universe of commercial fraud. From Charles Ponzi to Bernard Madoff, commercial fraud is a matter of the gravest concern because, apart from direct and indirect losses, it poses a serious threat to the integrity of the economy.

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 182 [Cr.] 2 [Description] Antitrust law and antitrust jurisdiction is not determined by the origin of, or the geographic area where the relevant action has taken place. It is determined by the action’s effects. These could and, in a globalized economy, normally do take place any- and everywhere. The more so since the number of countries equipped with more or less sophisticated antitrust laws and enforcement systems has grown spectacularly in the recent years, and continues to do so. Concurrent overlapping of different antitrust laws and jurisdictions has therefore become much more the rule than the exception. And, in essence, no modern antitrust enforcement anywhere in the world can omit to give a close look at what in the relevant area is being done in the US and in the EU. The course focuses on modern Antitrust law and enforcement in a global setting. It will delve into and compare the main antitrust categories (agreements, monopolization, mergers, administrative and court enforcement) from the perspective of mainly the US and the EU systems. It will, furthermore, devote attention to the BRICS countries and to those countries having a significant antitrust record. Finally, it will deal with international antitrust enforcement, both in terms of concurrent or shared enforcement between different systems, and of the workings of international networks, structures, and organizations. Antitrust I: Principles is a prerequisite for this course. [Course Name] | Comparative Antitrust Law | []

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 356 [Cr.] 2 [Description] Energy issues have framed recent international security crises: the OPEC oil shock of 1973-74, both Gulf Wars, 9/11 and Afghanistan, Russian gas threats to Europe (including the Georgia invasion), China’s scramble for energy resources, the financial imbalance caused by oil imports, the threats posed by ISIS and its control of substantial oil revenues, and the security risks posed by climate change. Yet, US and EU energy policies have been driven primarily not by international security issues but by domestic law on traditional pollution control (including the consequences of the fracking revolution), private property protection and antitrust. This course will examine how these domestic legal and regulatory regimes have shaped energy policy internationally in ways that multilateral security entities like NATO and the UN cannot reach. The course will focus primarily on the EU and US, examining how their domestic regulatory differences affect international energy and climate policies (including fracking), often in unintended ways. It will also examine the implications of climate regulation, energy security policies, gas and oil export restrictions, and financial issues (most of the US current account deficit is due to oil imports theoretically displaceable by domestic alternatives that include cars and trucks powered by electricity, CNG and biofuels). The course necessarily requires considerable study of the Clean Air Act as the source of the US’ primary energy policy, and of aspects of administrative law as it effects the execution of that power by the EPA.

Topics this course highlights may include New York City’s ban on large sweetened drinks; local regulations pertaining to food trucks, farmers markets, and urban farming; state cottage food laws and craft beer regulations; the federal Farm Bill and farm subsidies; the USDA school lunch program; and local, state, and federal rules pertaining to GMO foods. Students will consider these topics as they relate to issues like the environment, food freedom, food safety, and the public health. [Course Name] | Food Law & Policy Seminar | []

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 268 [Cr.] 2 [Description] This course examines, in depth, the unique interface of intellectual property law and regulatory law in the FDA-regulated industries, principally the pharmaceutical industry but also medical devices and food additives. Primary attention is given to the 1984 Hatch-Waxman Amendments to the Patent Code and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which for the first time injected patent-law considerations into the FDA regulatory process and simultaneously created special patent rules for products subject to an FDA pre-market approval requirement. The impact of FDA regulation on copyright and trademark rights in the FDA-regulated industries also will be considered. Although the course should be of interest both to students planning careers in patent law and to those whose primary interest is in FDA regulatory law, neither the Regulation of Food and Drugs course nor previous exposure to patent law is a prerequisite to registration.

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 428 [Cr.] 2 [Description] The high tech sector, which represents a growing share of the world economy, raises a large number of antitrust and IP law issues. These issues result from the “winner-takes-all” feature of the high tech sector where companies with innovative products and services can quickly sideline competitors and gain significant market shares (see, e.g., Microsoft, Google, etc.). The high tech sector is also heavily patented and this has triggered IP wars pitting, for instance, smartphone makers against each other (e.g., Apple v. Samsung, Motorola v. Microsoft, etc.). This course will focus on the main antitrust and IP issues, as well as the interface between these two disciplines, which occur in the high-tech industry. Much of the course content will be based on current or recent cases in the United States and Europe, which often make the headlines of newspapers. There is no specific prerequisite for this course, although some basic knowledge of antitrust and IP law may be helpful. [Course Name] | Global Antitrust and IP Law Seminar | []

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 350 [Cr.] 2 [Description] This course is an introduction to the philosophy of law. The first half will deal with the descriptive problem of what the law is. Is the law reducible to sociological facts — in particular power? Is it reducible to ethics? Is it something completely different — neither sociological nor ethical? Readings will consist of the classics in the field, including John Austin, H.L.A. Hart, Hans Kelsen, Ronald Dworkin and the American Legal Realists. The second half of the course will deal with normative problems of what the law ought to be. Should the law promote economic efficiency? Should it promote some other conception of justice? Special emphasis will be placed on economic and corrective justice accounts of tort law. Readings will consist of more recent discussions of these and other topics, including material by Richard Posner, Jules Coleman, Ernest Weinrib, Jeremy Waldron and David Brink. May be 2 or 3 credits.

da3926f6_escriptions___George_Mason_Law__Course_Name | [Number] 435 [Cr.] 3 [Description] This is an interdisciplinary course introducing students to the fundamental question of post-World War II Anglo-American jurisprudence, the problem of deriving meaning from written texts. The derivation of meaning from written documents characterizes attorneys' work (interpreting cases and contracts, for instance), and is the essence of judges' work. But it also characterizes the work of biblical exegetes and of literary critics, and it turns out that the debates in those disciplines mirror those of modern jurisprudence. This course explores those debates, all the while examining the legal function as something possibly unique. [Course Name] | Jurisprudence Seminar | []
