Course Descriptions

First Defense Legal Aid: The course description for this clinical course was omitted from the Registration Bulletin. The course description follows: "This program fills the gap in Illinois' public defender system by providing 24-hour free legal representation to adults and children in police custody or under police investigation. The course enables students to see: how evidence is collected and created; how the Chicago Police Department obtains confessions and questions witnesses; etc. Students will engage in legislative and community advocacy, and initiate Section 1983 litigation. Students participating in the course must be eligible for an Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711 license. Two credit hours."

International & Comparative Antitrust: The course description for this seminar was omitted from the Registration Bulletin. The course description follows: "During the last few years, the role of law in protecting economic competition from restraints ("antitrust law" or "competition law") has become an increasingly important factor in international business and in legal practice relating to international business. It is likely to become even more important as the globalization of economic activity advances. This course is designed to introduce students to this area of law and to the basic tools they will need to understand and provide legal services in it. We will examine U.S. antitrust law as it relates to transnational conduct. We will then look at antitrust law in Europe and, in less detail, other parts of the world such as Latin America. The final section of the course will deal with recent developments in international antitrust cooperation and with moves toward the development of a transnational antitrust regime. Two credit hours."
