LGP 972 (01) - Valuation and the Law

Valuation and the Law

Credits: 1.0
Term: Spring 2023 - Law (01/17/2023 - 05/12/2023)
Grade Mode: Letter Grading
Class Size:   15  
CRN: 56617
Valuation is a prerequisite for thoughtful decision-making. The old management adage?you can?t manage what you don?t measure?remains true today. In business, sound decision-making involves placing reasonable values on assets and strategies to identify the best decisions among competing, but uncertain, choices. While valuation has long been used by businesses to improve decisions, it has been slow to develop as a wide-ranging decision tool in the legal setting. As a result, valuation principles are too often ignored or poorly implemented in legal settings. Valuation should be a fundamental skill possessed by most lawyers. Consider just a few of the legal settings that require valuation to make properly informed decisions: ? Developing remedies in the litigation context. ? Making sue-or-settle decisions. ? Crafting effective laws and regulations. ? Determining how much to spend on legal services. ? Developing and executing business strategies that are based on legal rights (such as intellectual property strategies). ? Evaluating the success or failure of negotiations. In each of these contexts, the decision-maker must make a value judgment (the option chosen is better than options not chosen), whether the decision-maker appreciates it or not. For example, when a client decides to settle a lawsuit, she has valued the settlement alternative higher than the litigation alternative. Therefore, the choice is not whether to employ a valuation analysis. Rather, the choice is whether to employ an intelligent valuation analysis that helps inform the decision or to employ a jumbled process that ignores such valuable information. One reason (and probably the most powerful reason) for the slow development of valuation analysis in the legal setting is the common misperception that valuation is too difficult. This course will seek to disprove that notion. This course will teach students how to apply valuation principles in their future legal practice and become more effective lawyers. Strong math skills are not required. We will not employ any mathematical concepts beyond what is required in a 6th grade math class.

Animal law is the fastest developing field of law in the nation. It is an interdisciplinary practice, encompassing several areas of the law such as property, contracts, torts, constitutional law, criminal law, and even intellectual property. In addition, there are federal and state laws specific to animals, such as trusts and cruelty statutes. This class will focus upon both areas. There will be a strong emphasis on your communication skills: thoughtful and consistent class participation is required. Each week we will address a new area of law, and how it applies to animal law. Class one will be a review of the common law as it relates to animals; class two will be a case file or in class exercise based upon class one.

State Constitutional Law

State constitutions provide a fertile source of law for a lawyer to advocate for a client’s rights.  For the criminal defendant the state constitution may provide broader protections in the area of criminal procedure.  For the prosecutor it is important to understand state court approaches to a interpreting the state constitution so that the prosecutor can respond effectively to efforts to impose broader protections under state constitutions than the federal courts recognize under the U.S. Constitution.  For the lawyer representing state or local government agencies, an understanding of state constitutional law is essential for the exercise of the government’s general police powers.  For the attorney representing a private individual against state action, the state constitution may provide rights or limit state power in ways not contained in the U.S. Constitution.  The state constitutions govern issues as broadly as labor relations, proportional taxation, and environmental law.  The goal of State Constitutional Law Seminar is to familiarize students with state constitutional law so that the student will consider this important source of law when representing clients. 

The course does not focus exclusively on any particular state’s constitution.  Rather, the course presents an overview of how the various state supreme courts address rights under their individual state constitutions.  Students can then adapt those concepts to the jurisdiction where the student will ultimately practice law.
