This seminar is a one-credit, pass-fail seminar that will meet at least six times over the course of the 2020–2021 academic year. It will be presented in-person on the Law School campus if possible (with virtual options for students who cannot attend).    

The seminar is designed for those with an interest in U.S. national security law practice issues, and especially students with little or no background in the area.  It will introduce some of the ethical issues confronting young lawyers as they try to navigate today's national security environment, either as a military or civilian attorney practicing in the U.S. government, a member of a law firm, or as a counsel for a corporation or non-governmental organization.

We will consider, for example, how the existing rules of professional conduct may (or may not) apply in the national security law setting, as well as examine specific cases of problematic behavior by lawyers. We will also address the practical issues of dealing with clients in very high-stress situations, as well as the "work-life" balance in this area of practice.

The instructor will use episodes from his more than 34 years as a military lawyer to illustrate issues, and offer practical advice.

Readings will include various case studies, law journal articles, and other relevant material. A film will also be part of the curriculum.  The instructor may augment his own experience with guest discussants. During the 2020–2021 academic year the seminar will place special emphasis on the challenges occasioned by the integration of artificial intelligence into the national security enterprise.

Students are required to read three books for discussion: Paul Scharre’s Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War; Burn-In: A Novel of the Real Robotic Revolution, and Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead.

The meetings for the fall of 2020 will take place from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the Sunday afternoons of September 20th and October 4th.  The session on October 25th will go from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. as we will show the movie, Eye in the Sky, and have a discussion about it.  The dates for the spring of 2021 will be January 24th, February 21st and March 7th.  All dates are subject to change. 

If Law School rules permit, it is hoped that the spring sessions of the seminar will take place at Maj. Gen. Dunlap’s home (about ten minutes from the Law School), with Mrs. Dunlap being the hostess.  At in-person meetings, refreshments and snacks will be served so long as allowed by the rules prevailing at the time.

This course is a one-credit, pass-fail seminar that will meet at least six times over the course of the 2019-2020 academic year. The seminar will introduce some of the issues confronting young lawyers as they try to navigate today's national security environment either as an attorney practicing in government, as a member of a law firm, or as a counsel for a corporation or non-governmental organization. We will consider, for example, how the existing rules of professional conduct may apply in the national security law setting, as well as examine specific cases of problematic behavior by lawyers.

Readings will include various case studies, law journal articles, and other relevant material. A film will also be part of the curriculum. The instructor may augment his own experience with guest discussants. Students are required to read two books for discussion, Paul Scharre’s Army of None: Autonomous Weapons and the Future of War, and the novel, Allegiance,  by Kermit Roosevelt.  In addition, the short book, The American Military: A Concise History, is required for background.  Although only six meetings are anticipated, students are asked to reserve the following seven dates so that the seminar will have flexibility: Sept 8, Oct 23, Oct 27, and Nov 17, 2019, and Jan 12, Jan 26, and Feb 2, 2020.  Meetings will be on Sunday afternoons, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., usually in Maj Gen Dunlap’s home (about ten minutes from the Law school), with Mrs. Dunlap being the hostess. Refreshments and a light buffet be served.

A total of 112 individuals have served as Justices of the United States Supreme Court.  They have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.  Most were judges before becoming Justices, but others were law professors, attorneys in private practice, or even politicians with no prior judicial experience.  Once on the Court, many of the Justices have surprised and sometimes disappointed those who appointed and supported them. How has a Justice’s life story and prior experiences shaped and molded their judicial philosophy?

This one-credit readings class will focus on reading biographies of Supreme Court Justices.  During the course of the year, we will select and read six different biographies (three per semester).  This will include Becoming Justice Blackmun by Linda Greenhouse, and The Man Who Once Was Whizzer White:  A Portrait of Justice Byron R. White by Dennis Hutchison.  The class will determine what other Justice’s biographies to read during the course of the year.

For each book, the class will meet for a two-hour discussion session (at Professor Metzloff’s home).  Students will write a short reaction paper (2-3 pages) focusing on some aspect of the Justice’s life story.

Human travel to the Moon and/or Mars is now being planned by NASA, ESA, China, and other government space agencies, and perhaps even sooner by private companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, or the European firm MarsOne.  “A new life awaits you in the off-world colonies – a chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!”  But what will or should be the rules and norms of this new life?  Human settlements on the Moon, Mars, or another off-Earth colony would pose challenges that are not only scientific and engineering, but also social and legal.  Examining the optimal social/legal approaches in advance may help such a colony succeed.  And it may also offer a useful thought experiment for assessing and improving social/legal arrangements on Earth.  For example, who can/should own the property rights to such a “golden land of opportunity” and its resources?  (Is recent US law on space mining in conflict with the 1967 Outer Space Treaty?)  What should the environmental laws be to protect – or intentionally terraform – the other planet?  What should “planetary protection” regulations provide, to avoid harmful microbial contamination of the off-Earth colony, and of the Earth?  What should the laws be for ordinary life off the Earth, including accidents, crimes, marriage, divorce, citizenship, etc. …  And, who should decide on these laws – raising constitutional questions of, e.g., rule by each government that sends settlers, or by each private company that sends them, or by an international agreement, or by the settlers themselves in their new home …  This Readings course will explore these and other questions about the “Laws of Mars.”

The law of abortion is in flux. With new appointments to the Court and new legislative initiatives in the states, there is a greater likelihood of significant shifts in constitutional doctrine than at any point in the last few decades. As a result, it has become particularly important for future lawyers to have an opportunity to study the issue in detail and to decide what they think.

This one-credit, ungraded year-long readings course is intended to give students the chance to discuss, in a relaxed academic setting, the difficult and important questions of ethics, policy, and law raised by the issue of abortion. The course meets on eight Wednesday evenings, roughly once a month, from 7:30 to 9:15 p.m. Sessions are held at the instructors’ home—depending on enrollment, either at our dinner table or in our living room. (You should have your dinner beforehand; we provide the coffee and dessert.)

The questions raised by abortion are both highly abstract and deeply personal. While they are the subject of intense and heartfelt commitment on both sides, this course is offered in the belief that they are also a proper subject for intellectual inquiry. We will insist that discussions be conducted in a civil and respectful manner, and that you address and listen to your fellow students, whatever their views, with an open mind. Within each unit, the assigned readings are roughly balanced as to viewpoint; they take deeply conflicting positions, and you will certainly disagree with some of them. The course is offered on a credit/no-credit basis partly to ensure that you are neither penalized nor rewarded for sharing the views of either of the instructors.

Two-page response papers are due 24 hours before each meeting. They may be uploaded to the ‘Forum’ section of the course website, so that you can read your classmates’ papers in advance. Response papers should address some issue raised in your mind by that session’s readings; they needn’t discuss every reading, and they should respond to the readings rather than summarize them. Each student is expected to participate fully in the discussions.

There is one required text, What Roe v. Wade Should Have Said (Jack M. Balkin ed., 2005). Other required readings are available online or in the coursepack. (Because the course focuses on basic principles rather than the details of current doctrine, it leaves out such decisions as Gonzales v. Carhart, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, or Azar v. Garza, as well as a number of important cases in state or circuit courts.)

This one-credit year-long readings course explores different approaches to American law that have fallen under the heading of ‘conservatism.’ Over the course of the year, students will gain an appreciation of the debates and disagreements among conservative thinkers, both as to general theories and specific subjects. The course will meet on occasional Wednesday evenings, approximately once a month, in two-hour sessions from 6 to 8 p.m. Sessions will alternate between the professors’ houses in Apex and Chapel Hill. Each student will be expected to participate with knowledge of the extensive readings, and two-page response papers will be due 24 hours before each meeting. (Students taking the course in conjunction with an independent study paper may be exempted from the response-paper requirement.) Grading will be on a credit/no-credit basis.
