Are you interested in transactional practice? Do you anticipate drafting contracts, leases, or other kinds of agreements during your legal career? This Intersession course will teach students fundamental writing skills applicable to drafting normative legal documents. Our efforts will not be spent on learning the doctrinal law of any one area, but rather will be directed toward learning techniques applicable to all legal drafting. We will spend time learning how to determine a client's objectives and meet them in the resulting document. We will cover the steps of drafting, paying particular attention to the research necessary to determine the proper substance of the document, the organization of the document, drafting style and usage, definitions, legal consequences, and rules of interpretation. Finally, we will learn to draft documents with accuracy, clarity, brevity, simplicity, and proper tone. Students can expect a workshop-like, hands-on course with an intensive writing component that will require much of their attention during the intersession period.

Course is open to ASU JD candidates only.

Instructor(s): Lynk

Course Description:
Class will meet Monday through Thursday June 4 - 28 from 4:30 pm - 7:45 pm. The final exam will be administered at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 3rd.

This course introduces the student to the law of agency and examines the different forms of the most common business organizations in America today (sole proprietorships, partnerships (including limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships), limited liability companies (LLCs), and corporations. Regardless of an attorney’s specific area of practice, a basic understanding of the organization and management of business enterprises and of the law of agency is routinely needed across a broad and diverse range of legal specializations.

We study the fiduciary relationships between the investors, owners and managers of a business. We study the laws applicable to businesses and the legal standard of conduct expected of companies and their owners and managers.

While we study agency law, partnerships and LLCs, the major focus of the course is on the most popular form of business organization: the corporation, both public and close. We study how corporations are used to raise and manage capital, allocate risk, and divide ownership and management prerogatives. We focus on the responsibilities of boards of directors, the rights of shareholders, the issuance of stock, and corporate governance.

The course analyzes basic business and legal decisions faced by business people. We also examine broader policy questions such as how business needs shape laws and regulations in the United States and, conversely, how laws and regulations promote and impede business.

Readings from the Casebook are supplemented by readings from a book of Supplemental Materials. A Statutory Supplement is also required.

No background in business, accounting, or finance is required.

ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance and participation is expected. Points will be given for participation up to the maximum permitted under the law school grading policy. Students will be called upon to participate. Substantial information will be delivered in class lectures that is not in the written course materials.

Independent Study

Course Prefix: LAW-781
Course Section: C01
Credit Hours: 1-3
Instructor(s):
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
A student wishing to pursue independent study or fieldwork for credit must obtain approval of the Associate Dean and the consent of a faculty member to supervise a proposed project and must submit a statement in detail, defining the area of study and justifying the proposal. The faculty member assigns the amount of credit that the proposal justifies. In awarding credit to a student for an independent study paper, a faculty member should require a quantum of work from the student which approximates the amount of work expected from students enrolled in a regular course taken for the same number of credits. Faculty members should set minimum lengths for independent study papers based upon the complexity of the subject, the existing volume of literature on the topic, the number of redrafts required to complete the assignment, and the originality of the student's work product. Although exact guidelines cannot be formulated in awarding credit, past practices indicate that a paper of at least 50-75 pages, which has been redrafted one or more times after review by the faculty member, will be required for three credits. Papers of roughly 35-50 pages (with one redraft) should be required for two credits, and a minimum of 25 pages (with one redraft) for one credit. An independent study can be either graded or pass/fail at the discretion of the supervising professor.

Course Description:
This course will provide an opportunity for incoming transfer students to explore the techniques of advanced legal learning, and the primary focus of the course will be on the sophisticated application of legal and rhetorical methodologies. The course material will draw on a finite set of core Constitutional concepts and will invite students to interrogate both the doctrinal and theoretical principles inherent in that material. For students who have not yet taken Constitutional law, this course will leave students with some primary understanding of the subject area. In addition, the course will provide students with a foundation in expert learning and advanced legal reading, synthesis, analysis, and writing.

Evidence

Instructor(s): Baier

Course Description:
This class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays from 1:30 - 4:25pm starting on Monday, July 9, and continuing through Friday, August 3. The final exam will be administered at 1:30pm on Wednesday, August 8.

Evidence covers the basic rules that govern the admissibility of evidence in civil and criminal trial proceedings. The primary focus is on how the Federal Rules of Evidence operate in practice, with some attention to areas in which the Arizona Rules of Evidence differ from the Federal Rules. The course is primarily taught by the problem method, with a focus on the practical application of the rules in a trial setting. This is a complex and difficult subject, but one that most practicing lawyers -- including non-litigators -- need to know; and it would be an especially tough subject to try to learn from scratch from a bar review course. Students should make every effort to take Evidence before taking Trial Advocacy or clinical courses.
