Courses Taught

A list of classes taught by Monica Bogucki
Number	Title	Credits
867	Poverty Law I	3
Description of course 867 :	This course will cover the most common issues facing private attorneys doing pro bono work for the poor, government attorneys advising state and local agencies offering poverty programs, and legal services attorneys. Course topics will include issues in landlord-tenant law, general government benefits law, housing discrimination law, and general elder law. Students will also explore topics that personalize life in poverty. The Poverty Law courses may be useful for students considering clinical courses.
868	Poverty Law II	3
Description of course 868 :	This advanced course will examine specialized areas of poverty law often not covered extensively in traditional law school courses. For example, students may explore issues relating to civil juvenile law, including those involving child maltreatment and welfare; advanced elder law, includ- ing kinship caregiving and nursing home regulation; advanced housing law, including law regulating mobile home parks and public and subsidized housing; and advanced government benefits, disability, rural practice, immigration, education and migrant law. The Poverty Law courses may be useful for students considering clinical courses. [Students should strongly consider taking Poverty Law I before Poverty Law II but it is not a prerequisite. There is no overlap in cover- age between Poverty Law I and II.]
930	Mentor Externship	0
Description of course 930 :	Each year of law study, students are paired with respected lawyers and judges in the community. Mentors introduce students to a wide range of lawyering tasks and judicial activities and share with them the traditions, ideals and skills necessary for a successful career. Second and third year students participate in an academic credit pro- gram that combines fieldwork with a contemporaneous seminar component. The seminar fosters the habit and skill of reflective lawyering and draws upon student/ mentor experiences to examine the law school's mission in a practical setting. Class topics are designed to bridge the gap between student learning and life as a lawyer. Each student is given the opportunity to individualize learning goals specific to his or her unique path of professional development.
950	Supervised Resrch & Writing	.5
Description of course 950 :	Under the supervision of a faculty member, a student may receive up to two hours of course credit for researching and writing a substantial paper on a topic of the student's own choosing. The student must receive the instructor's per- mission to enroll in this course and must meet periodically with the instructor for discussion, review and evaluation. Each faculty member may supervise the research of no more than five students each semester.
