The course equips graduate students to describe and analyze how law and legal systems respond to genomic technologies, while preparing for future legal developments. Topics include eugenics, legal theories, medical testing errors, reproductive decision-making, parenting and family building, human-subject research, privacy and confidentiality, workplace uses, insurance access, forensics, evidentiary use in criminal law, and intellectual property and direct-to-consumer marketing. Evaluation combines quizzes, discussions, brief essays, and a legal research memo.","# Course Syllabus\n\nJump to Today  \nEdit  \n# Course Description\n\nThis interdisciplinary course explores and examines legal issues related to genetics and genomics research,practice,and policy.There are two overarchingcourse objectives:(1)to address the response of the law and the legal system o advances in genomic and genettic information and technologies;and,(2)toanticipate and posit legal responses for the future.  \nThe course is offered to graduate students from diverse disciplines across the University and does not require a background in genetics,public health,orlaw.For nonscientists,we begin with an overview of relevant geneti and genomic science and the recent explosion of knowledge about the human genomeand its applications.For non-law students,we begin with an introduction to the legal system and legal approaches to problem-solving.Then,in the context ofgenetics and genomics,we will examine the legacy of eugenics,followed by an exploration of the legal theories,applications,and implications of medicalmistakes in testing,reproductive decision-making,parenting and family building,research with human subjects,privacy and confidentiality,workplace uses,access to insurance and health care coverage,forensics,and evidentiary uses in criminal law.We will look at the translation of genetics from bench scienceto the marketplace,including consideration of laws concerning intellectual property and direct-to-consumer marketing.  \nTaking advantage of the diversity of disciplinary perspectives in the class,we will be engaged in our exploration of the topics covered through sharedlearning,i.e.,each class member willcontribute to the learning that occurs.Collaborative learning will be reflected in the way that the course is structured.Why collaborate?For a legal practice justification,please see,e.g.,Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession,Collaboration in Law Firms(https://thepractice.law.harvard,edu/articlelcollaboration-in-law-firms/),_(https://thepractice.law.harvard,edu/articlelcollaboration-in-law-firmsl)_2016.  \n# Course Learning Objectives\n\nBy the end of the course,students will be able to:  \n·Identify and describe legal issues arising in genetics and genomics research,practice,and policy;  \n·Apply the relevant law to issues arising in genetics and genomics research,practice,and policy;  \n·Formulate a legal question and conduct legal research and analysis related to an issue arising in genetics or genomics;and  \n·Draft a traditional legal research memo concisely expressing research and analysis on an issue arising in genetics or genomics.  \n## Course Materials\n\nThe text for the course is Mehlman,Rothstein,and Suter,Genetics:Ethics,Law and Policy 5th ed.(West 2020)(hereafter \"MRS\".Additional coursereadings will be provided via the course website and will include articles,cases,and news items.  \nFor students seeking additional background reading on law and legal systems,the law library also has excellent resources in this area,which can be foundat http:/lguides.lib,uw.edulc.php?g=440177&p=3000294 (http:l/guides.libuw.edu/c.php?g=440177&p=3000294)(see also the“RecommendedReferences and Reading on Law\"page on CANVAS).  \n## Course Grade\n\nThis course will be held online using both asynchronous and synchronous formats with significant,periodic written work and feedback during the course,withstated performance standards for achieving specific grades.The course will use formative assessments(quizzes,discussions,brief essays)which measureimprovements in understanding and learning in an ongoing process,and a summative assessment in the form of alegal research memo to assess studentcomprehension of course concepts in comparison to self and other students.  \nPLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY:You must be able to commit to up to twie weekly \"Iow stakes\"graded assessments throughout the course,asdescribed in this syllabus.  \nYour performance in the course will be graded based on the following assignments due as directed below throughout the ","cbCaimtIFEUkTHfa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimtIFEUkTHfa","pdf",7999715,1,23,"English","en",105,"# Course Description\n# Course Learning Objectives\n# Course Materials\n# Course Grade","[{\"question\":\"What are the main course objectives?\",\"answer\":\"Students address how law and legal systems respond to advances in genomic and genetic information and technologies, and they anticipate and propose legal responses for future developments.\"},{\"question\":\"What topics does the course cover within genetics and genomics?\",\"answer\":\"The course examines eugenics, legal theories and applications, medical testing mistakes, reproductive decision-making, parenting and family building, research with human subjects, privacy and confidentiality, workplace uses, insurance and health care coverage access, and evidentiary uses in criminal law, including forensics.\"},{\"question\":\"How is student performance graded?\",\"answer\":\"Grades are based on formative assessments (quizzes, discussions, brief essays) and a summative legal research memorandum.
