dangers of the genetic revolution. The decoding of the Human Genome, the biological modification of human, animal and plant life, and advances in reproductive technology, cloning and stem cell research, have opened up a Pandora’s Box. The ethical, legal and social implications (the “ELSI”) of what we "can do" with the genomic research and biotechnology and what we "ought to do" need to be addressed. This course examines the profound changes this biomedical revolution may have on family structure, life expectancy, quality of lives, health and medical expectations, the nature of privacy, criminal justice policy, and the way food is grown. Topics addressed include eugenics, genetic discrimination, behavioral genetics, DNA databanks, reproductive technology, cloning, stem cell research, gene therapy, and genetic enhancements.

to a historical analysis of the economy, including the production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services within a broader social context. Topics addressed include the changing role of markets, corporations, financial institutions, unions, the law, and government as society moves from a preindustrial to an industrial to a post-industrial society. Offered as required .SO 327 American Legal History. (S) (RR) (UU). One Unit. This course focuses on the development of the U.S. law and legal system in social context from the Colonial Era through the Twenty First Century. The class begins with an overview of the U.S. legal system: its origins, its setup, and its overall functions. Through leading Supreme Court cases and other materials, it examines the Court’s attempt to strike a balance between protecting individual’s liberties and freedoms against the need for authority and government oversight. From the earliest cases of the Court’s term (i.e. Marbury v. Madison) to those handed down in recent years (i.e. Affordable Health Care Act, DOMA), we trace the Court’s decisions alongside the political and social movements taking place at that time in the U.S., determining whether the Court was a passive or aggressive force in shaping U.S. history.
