Volunteers are increasingly important in the United States. Not only do financially strapped organizations use volunteers to enhance their capacity, but policy-makers and community leaders see volunteering as a vehicle to improve communities and solve public problems. This course covers topics of volunteer administration -planning, marketing, recruitment, screening and selection, training, supervision, evaluation and recognition. Students will gain an understanding of how the demographic of today's volunteers is changing, how best to deploy the talents of multi-generational volunteers, and understand how to provide a structured objective framework to be accomplished by the volunteer corps. Legal issues surrounding the use of volunteers and designing effective volunteer policies are also discussed.

Administrative law is the law of how government agencies operate. Topics covered include the mechanisms through which agencies act, the constitutional constraints on their actions, and the ways in which the executive, legislative, and judicial branches can exercise oversight and control over those actions. By the end of this course, students should be prepared to identify and analyze the stages of administrative rulemaking and adjudications; apply constitutional doctrines that constrain agencies such as due process, nondelegation, and separation of powers; and apply statutory and constitutional doctrines governing administrative actions and judicial review of those actions. This course cannot be taken for an S/U grade.

This course will explore the legal, regulatory and business issues that arise from the research, development, manufacturing and sale of innovative bio-medical products.
