This intersession course is designed to train students to implement practical political, legal and economic solutions to help Tribe's implement a broad range of economic development activities. It is offered by Lance Morgan, who has combined his legal and business expertise to develop one of the most successful native owned corporations in the country, Ho-Chunk, Inc. Historically Federal Indian Law has had a negative effect on tribal economic development by limiting the tribes in a number of ways. The seminar will focus the economic impediments create by Federal Indian Law. The class seminar will not just describe the problem but give real examples of how tribes have actually overcome such legal impediments to create successful businesses and bypass some of the legal restrictions. Additionally, the seminar will also focus on having the students understand Federal Indian Law is restrictive in nature and that if they are going to be successful lawyers that they will have to use Federal Indian Law as a starting point, not an endpoint.

In 2009, educators and legal scholars celebrated the 55th annivesity of the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. The decision in Brown endures as the most important education case ever decided by the Supreme Court, not only because it struck down officially sanctioned racial segregation but also because it ushered in a new era of litigation involving personal and civil rights in schools. What began as a trickle of school cases in the first part of the 20th century has grown into t he substantial and growing corpus of law.
This course will analyze the leading appellate case law in education law and its impact on school policy and practices. We will consider education proposals presented by the Obama administration;
teacher education, merit pay, charter schools, higher education, parent involvement, and changes in the forthcoming re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind).

The course will also examine the common and statutory law applicable to lawyers. The ultimate objective of the course is to give students both a working knowledge of the law governing lawyers and the practice of law and legal ethics and an appreciation for the difficulties and challenges that the professional currently confronts. Practioners may be taking one or more sessions of the course for CLE credit. This innovative approach should be a great opportunity for law students to really appreciate the practical aspects of professional responsibility.
