1 LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW Fall 2018 Syllabus Instructor: Chris Costa Telephone: (202) Class hours: 8:00 p.m. 9:50 p.m. Mondays. We will not meet on August 20, Therefore, the first day of class is August 27, The last day of this course will be November 26, Required Textbook and Readings: Richard Briffault & Laurie Reynolds, Cases and Materials on State and Local Government Law (8th ed. West 2016). Additional case decisions to be accessed on Westlaw, Lexis, or on the respective court s website. I expect to modify assignments in class or by . Course Focus: This course will focus on understanding Virginia state and local government law by comparing it with cases and legislation from other states. As the text book s title suggests, a study of local government law includes the state and federal laws that define local government power. The reading listed here will be modified because, among other reasons, new cases are handed down and new legislation is enacted. I approach this subject from a practitioner s perspective, and class attendance is imperative to understand the material. Office Hours: Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be available after each class or by appointment. Appointments can be made by , telephone, or by just asking before or after class. Grading: 100% of the grade will be a final exam, provided that I might adjust a grade to the next higher or lower grade (for example, a B to a B+ or an A- to a B+) based on class participation and attendance in accordance with any applicable school policy. First Assignment: Textbook pages 1-29 up to, but not including, the excerpt of the article by Charles M. Tiebout. Future discussions: The following is the tentative schedule. Please be aware that this will be modified, so do not read ahead. August: 20 NO CLASS.
