In order to accommodate more students, we have moved the following classes:
Food and Drug Law – taught by renowned Health Law expert, Professor Katherine Van Tassel.
Now scheduled for M/W at 10:45-12:15
Note: FDA Law may be used as an elective for the IP Certificate or LLM
Description: Food and Drug Law
This course will consider the many ways in which society attempts to manage the development, production, packaging and distribution of food, medical technologies and innovative biotechnologies. This course begins with the development of legal rules, both by private and public law, which govern the regulation of cosmetics, food supplements, drugs and devices from laboratory to ultimate use, including the impact of patent law and the law of trade secrets on these legal rules. The course then examines how the FDA uses these frameworks to regulate innovative biotechnologies such as genetically modified food, nanotechnology, cloning, artificial organs, gene and stem cell therapies (among many others). In addition, tort liability in connection with the production/manufacture, prescription, distribution and sale of these products, and the bioethical challenges posed by biotechnologies, will be analyzed.
Legal Drafting: Patent Drafting – taught by experienced patent attorney and teacher, Professor Alvin Rockhill.
Now scheduled for Thursday, 5:10-6:10
