Thursday 10:00 a.m. Current Events Classroom 129 Facilitator: Burt Levine Drama, pathos, debate, frustration, humor — it’s all there in the daily papers or periodicals. This class brings the news to life as the members panel selects noteworthy items and issues for audience review and discussion. In one of Osher Institute’s most enduring classes, views are welcomed, whether one already has an opinion or is looking for one.

All participants are encouraged to share their views. Many class members enjoy presenting a program of poetry and leading class discussion of the material. Their introduction of poems from many countries and cultures continues to expand their horizons and add depth to their perspectives. Reading materials will be available in the Osher office at least one week before class so that members can familiarize themselves with the poems. Phyllis Rosenbaum did her undergraduate and graduate work at Northwestern University in English literature. For 23 years she taught highschool English, including 12 years of advancedplacement courses. Since 2002 she has been a peer facilitator at Osher. January 17, 31, February 14, 28, March 14 28
Law and Society Series Thursday 1:00 p.m. Classroom 129 Coordinator: Mark Evans January 10 Professor David Glazier Drones and Targeted Killing: A Legal Assessment One of the most controversial aspects of the socalled “War on Terror” has been the use of drones to kill suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens, in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen. Initiated by President Bush and expanded by President Obama, the strikes will almost certainly continue regardless of the outcome of the 2012 election. Although the Obama administration has made a limited effort to justify their legality, there has been no real effort at a comprehensive or balanced legal analysis of drone use in any public forum. This lecture will endeavor to fill that gap. David Glazier is a professor of law at Loyola Law School Los Angeles. He served for twenty-one years as a U.S. Navy surface warfare officer before retiring to attend law school at the University of Virginia. Professor Glazier’s legal scholarship focuses on the law of war. He has testified before Congress on the use of drones. January 11 Friday at 1:00 p.m. Professor John Noyes (See copy pg. 38) February 7 Professor Jane Henning Animals and the Law Courses in animal law have become standard fare at many law schools over the past ten years, although some skeptics question the need for such a class. Yet there are a surprising number of legal issues involving animals, many of which affect people’s daily lives. These include the potential liabilities in owning pets, municipal breed restrictions, the status of companion animals in marital dissolutions, regulation of factory farming, and ownership of exotic animals, to name just a few. This lecture will address some of the most interesting and topical legal issues concerning animals. Jane Henning is professor-in-residence at the University of San Diego School of Law, where she has taught since 2005. She received her J.D. degree from UCLA in 1985. In addition to animal law, she regularly teaches civil procedure and cyberspace law. February 21 Professor Laura M. Berend Criminal Justice: The People and the Process This lecture will track the progression of a felony case through the San Diego trial courts from arrest through sentencing. Professor Berend will explain bail reviews, preliminary hearings, motion hearings, trials, and sentencing hearings. She will discuss jail procedures after an arrest, methods of posting bail, interviewing and establishing relationships with witnesses and defendants, discovery and case evaluation, plea negotiation, trial preparation, and sentencing preparation. She will also examine the functions and perspectives of other people involved in this process, such as law-enforcement officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, and defendants. Laura M. Berend is professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law, where she teaches criminal trial practice and evidence. Before joining the USD faculty in 1982, she practiced as a criminal defense attorney in San Diego. She is the co-author of Criminal Litigation in Action, a book designed to prepare law students and new lawyers for the practice of criminal law in the trial courts. 29
