City Building: Crafting a Legal Framework for a New Development City: Seminar
Spring term
Professor Jack Landman Goldsmith
2 classroom credits LAW-90525A
In this research seminar, students will work with Professors Jack Goldsmith at Harvard and Professor Larry Lessig at Stanford to create the legal infrastructure for a new city that is being planned to enable development in an economically depressed area of the world. The seminar will involve drafting of the treaties, contracts, and corporate structures needed to create the new development city and, more broadly, to help inaugurate a public discussion of the ideal structure to enable this development.
Students interested in this seminar must seek permission from Professor Goldsmith, and should send a statement of interest and a resume to his assistant Ashley Pollock at apollock@law.harvard.edu by January 1, 2009.
The meeting time for this seminar will be determined at a later date.
