Study Questions for the First Class:
- Among other facts, Foner notes that the federal budget expanded from $61 million in 1860, to $1 billion in 1865, in order to fight and win the Civil War. How relevant do the Founders' opinions and suspicions of Federal power as expressed in the Constitution remain after this massive expansion of Federal government power and involvement in the economy?
- Foner notes that black soldiers helped "define the war's consequences," and describes how some states and cities expanded the rights of black Americans during the War. What lessons could we draw from the advances he cites?
- Lincoln had several motives for emancipating the slaves when and how he did. How much should present-day notions of civil rights as inherent affect how we interpret the past?
- There were several early versions of the Fourteenth Amendment that were considered and discarded. Did any of the earlier versions provide more substantial protections of civil rights? Should the changes that were made to earlier versions impact the way we interpret the amendment as it was finally passed?

There will be a reading assignment for the second week of class which will be posted in the Syllabus on TWEN by December 17.
International Investment Law (INTL-322-A)
Professor Bechky
There are two parts to your first assignment: watch a movie and do some light reading.
The movie is called Power Trip, a documentary about the troubles of an electric company in the country of Georgia. The readings introduce two important, recent controversies about international investments: the Bolivian "water wars" and Enron's investment in a power plant in Dabhol, India (which was the largest foreign investment in Indian history). Together, these three stories should give you a sense of the kinds of controversies that we will discuss this semester, as well as their implications for businesses, for governments, and for the public interest. The readings also include the text of a treaty. Please skim the treaty to get a general sense of what it does, but do not struggle to master its details (as that is what the rest of the semester is for!). I suggest watching Power Trip before skimming the treaty, but it does not matter otherwise whether you watch the movie or read the readings first.
Power Trip is available through NetFlix. You may find renting it to be your easiest and most enjoyable option. Alternatively, the movie will be held on reserve in the Law Library during the first week of Spring classes. Feel free to use our TWEN site to try to schedule group viewings with other students in the class. You may also wish to watch the additional features on the DVD, but that is purely optional.
The readings are available on our TWEN site in a single PDF document called "Week 1 Readings."
It is important for you to register on our TWEN site. Be sure to include the address for an email account that you check regularly, as we will use TWEN to communicate throughout the semester. There are no books to buy for this course. Instead, there will be a course reader. I intend to make the entire course reader available for free via TWEN. Students who prefer to buy a hard copy of the course reader may do so by contacting my faculty assistant, Laurie Wells, before the first class. Finally, I plan to distribute the preliminary syllabus before the first class. For now, let me say that the class will have neither a final exam nor a major research paper. Instead, grades will be based on shorter written assignments during the semester, participation in in-class mock arbitrations, and class participation.
