After briefly reviewing the historic basis for the function of congressional oversight, the course
will review and discuss the sources and applications of congressional powers and tools for
oversight; constitutional, statutory, rule and other limits to the power of Congress to conduct
oversight; the rights and duties of those subject to congressional oversight; parallel proceedings
when oversight occurs with criminal or federal agency investigations; and study special oversight
functions, such as impeachment and special commissions. Classes will involve reviewing actual
congressional oversight investigations and hearings (e.g., Teapot Dome, House Unamerican
Affairs Committee, Watergate, Clinton Impeachment, Trump Impeachments, 9/11 Commission)
and the legal, strategic and ethical issues raised in those proceedings. When appropriate, there
will be a guest or two (e.g. Member of Congress, subject of an oversight inquiry).

This seminar will explore legal issues relating to the regulation of psychoactive drugs. We will review the standard arguments for and against legalization, decriminalization, and other regulatory models. We will consider the challenges of assessing drug dangerousness and scheduling drugs. We will discuss emerging controversies involving the international drug control system, the commercialization of the domestic cannabis industry, and psychedelic patents. And we will study in particular depth whether and how constitutional values such as liberty and equality might help guide U.S. drug policy.
