LAW-2420 Cannabis Law
The legal status of marijuana is rapidly changing throughout the United States. While marijuana is illegal at the federal level, more than 29 states have medical and recreational laws permitting some uses. The tension between federal prohibition and state legalization has created a whirlwind of issues for businesses seeking to operate within the marijuana industry. The objective of this course is to equip students with the tools required to navigate the full range of legal issues confronting the industry. Given the hands-on nature of the course, enrollment will be limited to 20 students. The final grade will be based on class participation and a final presentation. A limited number of students can opt to fulfill their legal writing requirement through this course.
