Public Policy & Administration 697LD - ST-Legislative Drafting

As a student in this workshop-style class, you will learn how to turn policy proposals into statutes and regulations. We look at some examples of current legislation and the ways the courts interpret them, and learn which area of the law would need changing for your proposal to become a reality: state, federal, or local; statute, regulation, or ordinance?

You will have a choice: Work with an organization that has already identified a problem in need of a policy solution; or - and this is ideal for the budding policy entrepreneur - turn your own proposal into a bill that you can shop around to think tanks and advocacy groups as part of your job search.

12 seats reserved for MPPA and MPP students.
