BU Law Legislation Clinics Launch 圆顶: Law, Legislation & Policy

博客提供有关立法和公共政策的新闻、分析和意见的宝贵资源。

波士顿大学法学院 and its legislative clinics announce the launch of a new blog, 法律、立法与政策.

Staffed by students from BU Law’s three legislative clinical programs—the 美国立法实践计划, 非洲议会诊所, and 华盛顿特区政府律师实习学期项目—圆顶 offers news, analysis, and opinion on legislation and public policy, and welcomes contributions from scholars, practitioners, or law students on any related topic.

撰稿人在立法起草过程中讨论了从奥巴马医改到技术等问题。 A recent post by BU Law student J. Corbin Carter (’15), “任何年龄都不安全：保护成年LGBT群体免受性取向改变的影响,” calls for state bans on gay conversion practices on adults as well as children, a particularly timely topic in light of President Obama’s condemnation of such practices.

关于BU Law’s Legislative Programs

The 美国立法实践诊所 is designed to give students the opportunity to develop and apply a variety of legal skills to the legislative process. 每周课程涵盖法律制定机构的理论和实践方面：如何制定成文法； 宪法对立法的限制； 参与过程的人员的道德责任； 以及立法者如何预测和塑造公众和法院解读其工作成果的方式。 学生通过与马萨诸塞州立法机构的客户一起工作，应用他们在课堂上学到的知识。

The 非洲议会诊所 seeks to assist African Parliaments to draft effective legislation. 2008年，联合国经济和社会事务部（UN/DESA）启动了一项名为非洲议会知识网络（APKN）的新项目，以提高非洲议会起草和颁布更有效立法的能力。 该诊所通过与非洲议会成员、政府机构和区域政府组织等客户合作，制作高质量的新濠影汇线上赌场研究报告和草案语言，支持APKN倡议。

The 华盛顿特区政府律师实习学期项目 places students in full-time, full-semester externships at an executive or legislative office in Washington. Past students have worked for such offices as the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Department of Education, Drug Enforcement Agency, and Executive Office of the President – 圆顶stic Policy Council.
