1 LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAW (LAW 272) Fall 2016 Syllabus Instructor: Chris Costa Telephone: (703) Class hours: Wednesdays, 6 to 7:50 p.m., Aug. 24 to Nov.30. No class November 23 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Classroom: TBD Course Focus: This class will cover the organization, processes, and legal authority exercised by local governments, as well as localities interaction with citizens, stakeholder organizations, and state and federal powers. The class subject straddles legal and political concepts and is national, including state and federal laws that affect local governments. We will focus, however, on Virginia cases and legislation and compare cases and legislation from other jurisdictions. Office Hours: Instead of formal office hours and barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be available after each class or by appointment. Appointments can be made by , telephone, or in person when we meet for class. Grading: 100% of the grade will be a final exam. A grade may be adjusted, however, 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 at my discretion. The final exam is currently scheduled for December 5, 2016, at 6:00 p.m. Students will have two hours. Technology, Recording, and Snacks: During class, use of internet, cell phones, any electronic communications (e.g., , instant messaging, social media, etc.), and any recording devices are prohibited without express permission. I do not plan to use them in class either. Students may use laptops for taking notes or reading downloaded materials (e.g., cases). Of course, I am not going to walk around checking screens; we are governed only by common courtesy towards each other and the school s honor code. Trust that we can all tell when folks are surfing or messaging friends. This policy is to preserve the quality of class discussion for all, not to torture anyone. 1
2 In contrast to generally accepted courtesy and if the school allows it, snacks are encouraged because they may help to keep you alert and engaged in discussion. There is no need to bring enough for all, but this is a great way to make friends and influence people. Required Textbook and Readings: Cases and Materials on State and Local Government Law, Briffault & Reynolds (7th ed. West 2004). We will not read the entire textbook. There will also be assigned illustrative case decisions during the semester to complement the textbook. Please obtain these cases on Westlaw, Lexis, on the respective court s website, or in the law school s library. The following is the tentative course schedule.
