课程简介

课程名称:法律基因组学 概述:法律基因组学提供了一个独特的框架来回顾基因组研究的历史和基础知识,并探讨基因组学如何与法律相互作用。通过本课程,您将探讨基因组学研究对法律的影响,以及法律对基因组学研究的影响,涵盖以下主题: - 基因组学与刑法 - 基因组学与刑事程序 - 法医基因组学 - 知识产权保护与生物技术 - 基因组学与侵权法 - 基因组学与隐私法 - 基因组学中的法律和伦理问题 本课程可用于满足执业律师的继续法律教育(CLE)学分。伊利诺伊州已批准9小时的MCLE学分。 课程大纲: 1. **基因组学简介**:回顾基因组学的定义及其与法律的关系,了解基因组的基本结构和功能,讨论技术如何影响基因组学以及其在医疗保健、食品安全、能源和法律等领域的应用。 2. **基因组学与刑法**:探讨基因组学与刑法的关系,分析遗传证据和基因组防御在刑事司法系统中的作用,以及如何全面允许遗传证据和基因组防御可能改善或损害刑法。 3. **基因组学与刑事程序**:研究个人基因组在刑法背景下的情况,了解DNA在刑事调查中的处理程序,以及在哪些情况下个人基因组受到政府访问的保护。 4. **法医基因组学**:学习基因组学在刑事调查中如何用于估算谱系和预测身体特征,审查现有遗传证据的证据标准及其科学有效性。 5. **知识产权**:审视知识产权保护的历史、经济和法律理由,了解获得专利的基本要求及当前案例法下可申请专利的生物材料或过程类型。 6. **基因组学与侵权法**:探讨基因组学与侵权法相关的问题,分析可能针对医疗从业者出现的相关问题及基因组学在毒性侵权案件中的影响。 7. **基因组学与隐私法**:调查与隐私和基因组学相关的主要问题,以及对基因组信息隐私的监管情况与主要隐私法规的相互作用。 8. **基因组学中的法律与伦理问题**:考虑基因组研究中出现的一些法律和伦理问题,审查知情同意的法律要求及相关的重要法院裁决。 9. **最终评估**:完成最终评估以通过课程并获得课程证书。完成本课程的学习者需填写课程评估表以获得继续法律教育(CLE)学分。 10. **课程反馈**:选填结束课程后的调查问卷。

课程大纲

Name:Introduction to Genomics for Law

Description:In this module, you will review what genomics is and discuss the relationship of genomics to the law. You will review the basic structure and function of the genome, the vocabulary used to describe its components, and understand how technology has and will continue to influence genomics, as well as how genomics is used in a variety of fields including healthcare, food security, energy, and law.

Name:Genomics and Criminal Law

Description:In this module, you will discuss the relationship of genomics to criminal law, how genetic evidence and genomic defenses currently operate in the criminal justice system and explore how fully allowing genetic evidence and genomic defenses might improve or harm criminal law. You will understand how criminal law might or might not recognize genomics as a defense, review types of changes needed in criminal law to accommodate genetic evidence, and examine how changes in the criminal law, to accommodate genetic evidence and defenses, could impact criminal law.

Name:Genomics and Criminal Procedure

Description:In this module, you will explore how private individuals' genomes are in a criminal law context, how DNA is examined and processed in criminal investigations, and examine under what circumstances individuals' genomes are protected from access by the government in a criminal law context. You will also recognize under which circumstances the government has an interest in individuals' genomes in a criminal law context and review the basics of the CODIS STRs (Combined DNA Indexing System).

Name:Forensic Genomics

Description:In this module, you will learn about how genomics is used to estimate ancestry and predict physical appearance or traits in criminal investigations, and review the current evidentiary standards for utilizing genetic evidence. You will also examine the scientific viability of using genomics to estimate phenotypic traits, understand the accuracy of genetic estimates for ancestry and phenotypic traits, review the current evidentiary standards under Frye and Daubert, and identify the best methods to utilize genomics evidence under current legal evidentiary standards.

Name:Intellectual Property

Description:In this module, you will review the history, economic, and legal reasoning behind intellectual property protection.  You will then examine the basic requirements to obtain a patent, and identify which types of biological materials or processes are patent eligible using current case law.  Additionally, comparative intellectual property legal regimes will be introduced.

Name:Genomics and Tort Law

Description:In this module, you will explore issues related to genomics that arise in Tort Law. You will examine some of the issues that can arise against medical practitioners as well as explore the implications of genomics in toxic tort cases.

Name:Genomics and Privacy Law

Description:In this module, you will investigate the major issues related to privacy and genomics and how the privacy of genomic information is regulated as well as the interactions between major genomic privacy regulations. You will also examine the penalties for violation of genomic privacy regulations.

Name:Legal and Ethical Issues in Genomics

Description:In this module, you will consider some of the legal and ethical questions that have arisen in genomics research and the legal requirements of informed consent. You will also review major court decisions involving genomics research, treatment, and informed consent, examine the legal evolution and current requirements of informed consent, and explore the legal and ethical quandaries in genomics and its research.

Name:Final Assessment

Description:Complete the final assessment to pass the course and receive a Course Certificate. Anyone who is taking this course as a general Coursera learner (not for CLE credit) should complete the Course Content Quiz. Lawyers taking this course for continued legal education (CLE) credit MUST complete the Course Evaluation Form.

Name:How Was the Course?

Description:Optionally, please complete the end of course survey.
