Under the so-called “American Rule,” parties to litigation must pay their own attorneys’ fees and costs. That Rule, however, is subject to a host of fee-shifting exceptions that allow a prevailing party to recover its attorneys’ fees from the losing party. In addition, courts may sometimes award a party all or a portion of its attorneys’ fees as a sanction to redress its opponent’s improper litigation tactics. This course examines, among other subjects:
• Contingent fee arrangements;
Business enterprises can be organized in various ways
to achieve different goals. It is fundamental to
understand all the forms into which business
enterprises are organized, and the pros and cons of
each form. Lawyers are often called upon by business
people to help them select the form of business
through which they can most effectively achieve their
business goals. Accordingly, we study sole
proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and the
increasingly popular new form of enterprise called the
limited liability company (“LLC”). Changing
perspective, we study how lawyers practicing in
different fields encounter and interact with business
organizations whether through litigation,
transactions, taxation, or public policy.
As a teaching methodology, we follow a hypothetical
business established as a sole proprietorship and the
transition of that business to a partnership, LLC, and
corporation. We study how each of these forms is
legally established and managed. The major focus of
the course is on the most popular form of business
organization, the corporation. 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, mergers and acquisitions, and
corporate governance.
We briefly survey why and how companies “go public”
and the implications of this decision and examine how
the capital markets are regulated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the securities
laws.
As an overarching theme, we examine how businesses are
regulated and why. We analyze the legal standard of
conduct expected of companies, their owners and
executives. We also examine broader policy questions
such as how our economic system and private business
needs promote business interests and shape laws and
regulations in the United States.
This class provides an overview of the unique challenges encountered in bringing and defending claims against state, local and federal governmental entities. The course addresses the history of sovereign immunity, its statutory abrogation and the procedures and prerequisites necessary to prosecute and defend claims against the government. This class will inform students of the law and mechanics of litigating claims against governmental entities using statutory and case law to inform students of the practicalities and pitfalls common to litigation against the government.
The class is limited to 12 students - if there is more student demand, students seeking the Indian Law certificate will receive preference.
Federal Indian Law I is a pre-requisite for the class
The class will be held on the Pechanga reservation in southern California during Spring Break 2017. The class is designed to train students to implement practical political, legal and economic solutions to help Tribe's implement a broad range of economic development activities. Historically Federal Indian Law has had a negative effect on tribal economic development by limiting the tribes in a number of ways. The seminar will focus the economic impediments create by Federal Indian Law. The class seminar will not just describe the problem but give real examples of how tribes have actually overcome such legal impediments to create successful businesses and bypass some of the legal restrictions. Additionally, the seminar will also focus on having the students understand Federal Indian Law is restrictive in nature and that if they are going to be successful lawyers that they will have to use Federal Indian Law as a starting point, not an endpoint.
This course will focus on the responsibilities of corporate directors and officers, and of the lawyers who advise them, in managing and operating publicly traded for-profit business corporations. These issues have become increasingly important in the wake of the collapse of Enron and other corporations in 2000-2002; the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; the recession of 2008; and the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.
Business corporations are organized to make money. By maximizing profits businesses achieve their highest social utility -- they provide goods or services to consumers; profits to shareholders; jobs and wages to employees; and tax revenue to the state. To achieve these results within the law corporate managers should adhere to good corporate governance practices. What is good corporate governance? How does good corporate governance promote the goals of a good corporate citizen? Who is entitled or required to make the decisions necessary for a business corporation to function? What legal and ethical constraints do we as a society impose on corporate decision-makers in the exercise of their responsibilities? Are these constraints working? Is it appropriate to impose civil or criminal liability on a publicly-traded corporation, which can act only through its agents and directors for the illegal conduct of those agents or directors? Do corporate lawyers have a duty as "gatekeepers" to the board of directors, the shareholders and the corporation itself to insure that a proper governance structure is in place and is being followed, and that business decisions are being made in conformity with the law?
This seminar will examine these questions through various case studies drawn from different industries from the past as well as today. A desk book of materials including various articles, state and federal cases, and excerpts from recent federal legislation will be prepared and made available from the Copy Center. A casebook is not currently required.
The goal of the course is to illustrate the variety and complexity of dilemmas lawyers can face when advising corporate clients, and help students use the legal tools available to them to work through these problems toward satisfactory solutions. As a part of the seminar, students will be divided into teams of two persons each, and each team will make a PowerPoint presentation to the class on a corporate governance topic, chosen after consultation with Prof. Lynk, involving a particular corporation or industry. At the end of the course these presentations will be complied onto a disc and copies of the disc will be distributed to the entire class. Each student will also write a final paper.
Topics to be covered include detention, electronic
surveillance, oversight of secret intelligence
agencies, the use of military force, and others.
Within each topic, students will first learn how the
U.S. legal system and, where applicable, international
law accommodate national-security imperatives while
restraining governmental power. The class will then
consider one or more case studies illustrating how
other governments have confronted the same problem.
Drawing on these examples, students will have an
opportunity to draw broader conclusions about the
challenge of reconciling national-security powers with
the rule of law in each area.
Evaluation will be based on written term papers, in-
class presentations, and class participation.
The core thesis underlying this course is that legal
writing can be greatly improved by using many of the
techniques fiction writers use. The notion of story,
emotional vibrancy, and profluence are creative
additions to otherwise drab legal writing.
Each student will write and post seven writing
assignments on the class web site. We will critique
one another’s writings every week (both on-line and in
class). All students must write. Students afflicted
with writer’s block or unreliable Internet connections
should not take this course. Reliable email service is
essential. The class web site will run on Blackboard.
All students should be familiar with the usual process
of accessing, reviewing, and posting material to a
Blackboard site.
Criminal and regulatory matters investigated by American law enforcement are increasingly international in nature and scope. The prosecution of anti-trust, bribery, anti-money laundering and securities law violations routinely involve proceedings being brought against foreign nationals and corporations. Eight of the top ten fines imposed for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act involve foreign companies.
There are various mechanisms by which regulatory and criminal law enforcement organizations exchange and gather information pertaining to active investigations and prosecutions, mutual legal assistance treaties and international conventions.
This course will examine the different evidentiary rules and constitutional considerations associated with international criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions, with a particular focus on the laws of the United States and Canada. More specifically, we will examine the fundamental differences between the laws of self-incrimination and double jeopardy in Canada and the United States, and the way in which these differences affect both the prosecution and resolution of cross-border criminal and regulatory matters.
An intimate knowledge of the American or Canadian constitution is not a prerequisite for this course. Prior familiarity with international investigations is also not a requirement.
Students may take the seminar for two or three credits. Students who select the three-credit option will register for a one-credit independent study with Professor Demaine and write 25 additional pages during the semester.
This advanced course in education addresses
constitutional law, federal and state statutory and
regulatory provision and case law . The studies will
encompass the development of statutory and case
including their impact upon education in the United
States and the State of Arizona. The class will
analyze and report on analyze major decisions of the
United States Supreme Court in the areas of finance,
religion, free speech, collective bargaining, student
and teacher rights, rights of the disabled,
desegregation and discrimination including recent
Arizona decisions. The major critical legal issues in
traditional public charter and private education will
be discussed. Each student as a significant part of
the class and their grade will select from a list of
suggested areas or designate an area of interest and
prepare a paper power and partner with the instructor
to lead the class discussion on the topic. The
presentation should be scheduled to fill the major
component of the class time and will be the focus of
each student to master a particular area of law.
Practical skills application will be used in the final
two class period with outside expert witnesses and
student participants in all roles involving student
expulsion with issues related to guns at school and
disability identification and accommodation by the
District.. If scheduling permits a session shall be
devoted to an employee grievance and the resolution
process. We will analyze several U.S. Supreme Court
decisions involving educational issues, their history
and future impact.
Course Structure/Approach
Grading/Assessment
In this business, the law is the business model, a
rare confluence that puts lawyers in charge of the
business. Most executive officers who run the
entertainment business are lawyers.
Deals & Contracts: Are you interested in
knowing how the deals are structured and what terms
are negotiable and what are not? We look at many many
deal structures and contracts so that you will have a
working knowledge of deal terms and deal structures
that are portable to other contracts and industries.
Players: Who are the players in the business
and what roles do they assume? What is the difference
between managers, agent, and lawyers? How are they
regulated?
Artists, Sports Stars and Celebrities: What
rights and interests do they have? What sort of
business entities do they form to protect their
interests? How do they make money? How do personal
service contracts differ from other types of deals?
Sponsorship and Merchandising Deals. How these
deals structured and the interplay of trademark law is
reviewed.
How does the music business work? Are all the
nightmarish stories true? How does the Film & TV
business work? What contracts are used and how
are they negotiated?
The Entertainment Business is also about content
and digital distribution. As technology
develops, so do the distribution models. This class
also explores the genres of film, television, book
publishing, music composition and publishing, sound
recordings, and other new media that rapidly expanding
and converging in the digital age. As more and more
people are engaging with digital entertainment,
content creators are discovering ways to produce and
deliver content faster and more effectively. The legal
issues that accompany the creation of content in our
interconnected world present opportunities for future
lawyers to develop traditional and non-traditional
practices in the Arts & Entertainment and Sports
businesses.

In light of the interactive and practice-focused nature of this course, it will rely on student participation to a greater degree than in the typical law school course. For this reason, evaluation of the student performance will be based in part on participation. The precise grading criteria will be provided to students in the course syllabus prior to or at the first class session.
The bulk of this class is interactive and practice-focused, and therefore attendance is of particular importance. The instructors intend to give appropriate weight in grading to unexcused absence, tardiness, inadequate preparation, and poor class performance. Withdrawal for excessive absence will be recorded as a failing grade or as a withdrawal, at the instructors’ discretion.
REQUIREMENTS
2. Students will write one fifteen page analytic
paper based on the readings for the class. The paper
is due on the close of finals, May 5, 2017.
GRADING
READINGS
Through this course, students will create work product
examples that can be shared with potential employers
and/or prospective clients.
Comprehensive Patent Practice is a pre-requisite.
20% of the final grade will be based on class
participation and attendance. JD students will be
expected to present certain materials, which will be
assigned during the class. The quality of these
presentations will be a factor in the participation
grade for the JD students. However, students must do
more than simply show up to class. Students must
participate to fully maximize this aspect of their
grade.
Regular attendance and preparation are required in all courses. Attendance and class participation will be factored into each student’s final grade.

This course addresses the procedures and requirements for effecting the foreclosure of real estate in Arizona. Students will learn the entire process, from commencement to completion pursuant to the judicial, non-judicial and forfeiture statutory guidelines. Jurisdictional requirements, potential defenses, additional statutory and non-statutory remedies and appeal rights are among the subjects to be covered.
This is a one credit class in the trial advocacy program. The course will address common litigation situations arising within the real estate industry. The course will be a combination of substantive real estate law, litigation scenarios and analysis, and practical litigation skills. Procedurally, cases involving risk management and
mayhem at live events are well-suited for discussion,
argument, and hypotheticals, all of which will help
you learn to think like a lawyer.
Substantively, many of our fact patterns will be
"ripped from the headlines." This is because so many
people engage in some form of mass entertainment every
day that the news provides an endless array of fact
patterns by which to test common legal ideas. Given
the myriad ways in which people hurt themselves and
others and break things, we will explore the slapstick
of the legal profession.
Once we establish the basic elements of tort and
contract law, we will use primary source material to
find the outer limits of reasonably acceptable risks
for stadiums, arenas, concert venues, and festivals.
Event operations professionals get paid to say "yes,"
then to figure out a safe and legal way to allow the
artistic vision to unfold. Our course will start from
the same mindset. From there, we will proceed deep
into the shades of gray in which good lawyers make
their living.
Grades will be based largely on (1) a paper, in
which students will select from one of several
scenarios of disaster at a live event venue, then
argue liability from the perspective of a plaintiff
for a defendant, as well as (2) oral argument of that
position before noted jurist Steven A. Adelman. Procedurally, cases involving risk management and
mayhem at live events are well-suited for discussion,
argument, and hypotheticals, all of which will help
you learn to think like a lawyer.

financial regulatory bodies, but also to those
interested in the development of the modern regulatory
state, as exemplified by evolution of federal
securities laws under the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The class is structured so that all groups meets together each Monday for a 90 minute class, and each group of approximately eight students meets separately for a longer period on Thursday or Friday to participate in litigation skills exercises supervised by experienced trial lawyers from the community. The Monday lecture session will focus on litigation topics related to the performance exercises to be undertaken in the skills sections conducted later that same week. Students will engage in exercises involving Interviewing, Counseling, Written Discovery, Depositions, Pretrial Motions, ADR, and Trial Advocacy.
NOTE - In lieu of certain scheduled class meetings, students in each Spring 2017 Litigation Experience section will be required to participate in a day long mock trial. The trial for each Litigation Experience section will take place on Friday, April 14 or Saturday, April 15.
Evidence is a Co or Pre Requisite for the course.

The focus of this course is not on morality versus immorality, but on leadership, moral decision-making, and action. The course is comprised of three modules: (i) Moral Challenge, in which students explore fundamental moral problems and the strategies used to come to terms with them; (ii) Moral Reasoning, in which students are introduced to methods and modes of "moral reasoning" that help in justifying, or not justifying, decisions made in complex situations; and (iii) Moral Leadership, in which students confront examples of moral leadership per se.
In 13 sessions each two hours long, with readings in a multiplicity of settings ranging from ancient Greece to contemporary America, students learn to identify moral problems, to address them systematically, and to develop skills that aid them in their professional and personal lives.
Forty percent (40%) of the grade for the course is based on class participation and sixty percent (60%) on a paper, roughly 15 pages in length.
This combination of sweeping jurisdiction and constitutional independence has produced a unique American legal institution of growing importance. Although most often discussed in the context of the largest and most controversial of legal issues, the real task of attorneys general and their staffs is to deliver high quality legal advice that will guide state government in a constitutional and ethical manner. Although each state is unique, there is a remarkable similarity between state attorneys general when addressing similar challenges and issues.
This course will examine the unique nature of the office of state attorney general, the limits of jurisdiction, unique powers under consumer protection laws, the ethical implications of representing the public instead of an identifiable client, Supreme Court practice, multistate advocacy, the decision not to defend a state action, relations with private attorneys, public corruption prosecutions, nonprofit governance and other areas of interest (such as border crime, polygamy, mortgage prosecutions, the states’ role in immigration reform, and marijuana and tobacco) as time permits.
Note: Students who have taken Banking Law will not be eligible to take this class
This seminar course focuses on transactional practice-readiness skills in finance transactions. In addition to discussion of certain aspects of banking and finance law topically, this course is intended to simulate finance/banking law practice in a real world environment and enhance practice-readiness in transactional practice. The loan process from a legal perspective and legal documentation used by financial institutions in making loans and issuing credit will be examined. Financial institutions significantly the modern US and world economies. As regulated entities, financial institutions must comply with applicable laws and regulations while remaining competitive in the marketplace, and responding to global competition, technological advances, and rapidly changing economic conditions. The course includes a look at the impact of laws and regulations, and the impact of financial institution policies and procedures, on credit risk, credit availability. Credit documentation will be explored from a practice-readiness perspective. This course will also explore the elements of professionalism with respect to finance law practice. Students will gain experience in reviewing, drafting, and negotiating loan and other credit documents. They will also gain experience in preparing and reviewing client communications in a transactional lending/finance context. Students will learn how to maintain a forms/provisions library, and will contribute provisions to, and have access to, a cumulative forms library. Throughout the course, students will do practice-readiness projects taking the students from a term sheet, to drafting and negotiating documents, through the closing of a commercial loan transaction. There will be no final exam in this class.

Course Description:
This course examines the legal constraints that apply to business organizations with an emphasis on how the law addresses the problem of the separation of ownership from control in publicly held corporations. Alternatives to the corporate form, including partnership and the limited liability company, will also be addressed, although primarily as a comparative tool for achieving a more in-depth understanding of the corporation. Topics will include fiduciary law, shareholder voting, derivative suits, executive compensation and control transactions. These issues will be most relevant to those students who plan on representing business entities in transactions or litigation, however, it is difficult to overstate the importance of a general knowledge of these topics regardless of the area of law in which one plans to practice. Materials to be announced. No background in business, accounting or finance is required.

Course Description:
This course will examine the Reconstruction-era Civil Rights Acts, particularly sections 1981, 1983, 1985, and 1988 of Title 42 of the U.S. Code, with an emphasis on sections 1981 and 1983. Section 1981 imposes liability for racial discrimination in contractual relations, and section 1983 imposes liability for deprivation of federal rights under the auspices of state authority. The latter will consume most of the semester. Although we will necessarily discuss federal constitutional and statutory rights that litigants seek to vindicate under section 1983, our study will focus on the statutory prerequisites to liability, such as the requirement that the deprivation be taken "under the color of" state law, various immunities from liability, standards for imposing liability on supervisors or governmental entities, and remedies. The class will also briefly address other civil rights issues, such as employment discrimination under Title VII and civil rights issues that may emerge during the semester.

Instructor(s): Higdon

Course Description:
Conflict of laws deals with cases that involve more than one jurisdiction. The subject includes the jurisdiction of courts over nonresidents; which jurisdiction's laws apply to controversies between residents of different states or when a dispute arises from events or transactions that transcend state boundaries; constitutional and other limits on the parties' right to choose applicable law; conflicts between state and federal laws; and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Many issues that will be discussed are as old as our federal system. Others are as recent as today's headlines, e.g., does the Full Faith and Credit Clause permit a state to impose its public policy to reject marriages sanctioned in another state? Conflict of laws was recently added by the Arizona Supreme Court as a subject that may be covered in the essay portion of the Arizona Bar Examination.

SLN #: 31650
Course Prefix: LAW-522
Course Section: 004
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Clinton
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Constitutional Law I surveys the law surrounding the allocation of governmental power between federal, state, and tribal governments and the distribution of governmental authority within the federal government. It is a pervasive subject in the sense that such constitutional questions can emerge in such disparate areas of legal practice as immigration, corporations and securities, family law, criminal law, banking, and insurance. While the course does not cover individual constitutional rights (the subject matter of Constitutional Law II and Criminal Procedure), questions of Congressional power to enforce various constitutional rights are raised as part of the course coverage. Furthermore, the Framers of Constitution did not see the bright line that most law school curricula currently draw between allocation of power and individual rights questions, since many statements in the Constitutional Convention and the ratification documents suggest that the Framers thought that the primary protection of individual liberty should be a constitution appropriately distributing and limiting delegated governmental authority, rather than a listing of rights of the type found in the Bill of Rights. This course not only seeks to provide a survey of contemporary federal constitutional law, but also provides basic insights into American constitutional and jurisprudential history. The reason for such attention to history involves demonstrating how constitutional law has changed over time, often with the ebb and flow of national intellectual, political, and economic history surrounding prevailing jurisprudential and economic trends and movements. That focus trains students not only how to understand past constitutional developments but how to anticipate future changes in constitutional doctrine in response to national political and intellectual trends. Consequently, the legal, jurisprudential, economic and political history of the United States will play a prominent role in the course. Please note that the course will be hosted on TWEN, rather than Blackboard.

Course Description:
This course provides a detailed introduction to the law of copyright. It emphasizes the basics of traditional copyright protection for art, music, and literature and but also considers the application of those basic principles in an age of digital technology (music sharing á la Grokster, internet hyperlinking, protection of computer programs and user interfaces, and similar current issues). Copyright law is now important well beyond the entertainment industry, although many of the decisions we study derive from that genre. (Humphrey Bogart, Cole Porter, George Harrison, J.D. Salinger, Superman, Mickey Mouse, and many other luminaries make cameo appearances in our cases.) Copyright (and copyright-like protection schemes) have become an increasingly important element of a general law practice as a result of the explosive growth in economic value of information-based products, like computer software and digital networks and databases. The lawyer ignorant of basic copyright principles will be increasingly handicapped in many areas of practice, such as negotiating technology transfers, drafting contractual rights, developing schemes of protection and privacy, distinguishing criminal from noncriminal behavior, and in litigation. But more important than all that, the cases and materials are lots of fun!

Course Description:
This seminar provides students an opportunity to study laws and policies governing cults and alternative religions. While the definition of a “cult” will be a topic of initial study in the seminar, it may be conceived of loosely as a group with a charismatic leader whose members are persuaded to relinquish their self-identities and material possessions in furtherance of the group’s goals. In addition to analyzing the definition of a “cult,” the first part of the seminar will be devoted to discussing the various types of cults, studying particular cults, and learning about cultic activities. The remainder of the seminar will cover domestic and foreign legal and policy issues generated by cults, including the legal rights of cultic organizations, anti-cult organizations, cult members, and cult members’ families. To the degree that religious movements falling outside the mainstream, conventional religions are conceptually similar to cults or treated similarly under the law, they also will be covered.

Instructor(s): Clinton
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The explosive growth of the importance, economic significance, and reach of
computer software and the Internet has spawned a burgeoning field of law that
attorneys practising in the 21st century will need to understand and address.
The ability of computer technology to instantaneously transfer across
jurisdictional boundaries or broadcast worldwide digital information, whether
the information in the computer file takes the form of a music file, a document,
a picture, a television program or motion picture, or a computer software
program, poses significant threats to businesses and established intellectual
property regimes. Issues of this type include file sharing of music and motion
pictures and the legal protections surrounding digital rights management. The
movement of businesses into the virtual world of the Internet has also created
a host of trademark and domain name control issues. In some circumstances,
efforts are made to apply existing legal concepts to these new problems
arising in cyberspace; while in other cases entirely new legal strategies must
be developed. The Cyberspace Law course will examine a diverse group of
emerging cyberspace legal issues with a focus on the interface of jurisdictional
and intellectual property regimes with the virtual world of the Internet.

Course Description:
The advent of eDiscovery has had an extraordinary impact on American jurisprudence. The unbridled proliferation of e-mail and other forms of electronically stored information (“ESI”) has proved daunting to litigants, counsel and the courts. ESI has eclipsed other forms of evidence and has required a radical change in how disputes are litigated and resolved. Recent eDiscovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the rules of many states, including Arizona, are a testament to the judiciary’s recognition of the growing importance of eDiscovery in our judicial system. This course will address the rapidly developing eDiscovery case law and tackle the challenging issues arising from the emerging eDiscovery phenomenon. Subject areas covered will include a survey of relevant information technology, ESI preservation obligations, search and retrieval, ESI production methods, spoliation and sanctions, attorney-client privilege and ethical issues, and admissibility of digital evidence.

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 taught by the problem method, with occasional simulations designed to illustrate how litigators deal with witness testimony and other forms of evidence at trial. 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.

Course Description:
Many commentators predict that the 21st Century will be the Century of the Genome, in which advances in genetic technology will fundamentally transform society, the economy, and our day-to-day lives. Already, advances in genetic sciences are having a substantial impact on diverse areas such as criminal law, health care, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals. The legal system is increasingly being called upon to address issues related to genetics, and many legislators, judges, regulators, and practicing attorneys are scrambling to learn about the new legal problems and opportunities created by advances in genetic sciences. This course will provide students with background on genetics and recent genetic advances, and it will address the legal consequences and issues associated with such advances. Specific legal topics that will be covered include forensic uses of DNA, genetic privacy and confidentiality, genetic discrimination in employment and insurance, genetic testing in the workplace, genetic screening, gene therapy and genetic enhancement, pharmacogenomics, stem cell and tissue culture research, cloning, and patenting and licensing of genetic technology. No prior study or knowledge of genetics or molecular biology is required. The readings will include materials presenting the fundamental ideas of modern genetics.

Course Description:
A student wishing to pursue independent study or fieldwork for credit must obtain approval of the Dean’s designee and the consent of a faculty member to supervise a proposed project. 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 generally a paper of approximately 12,500 – 18,750 words, including footnotes, which has been redrafted one or more times after review by the faculty member, will be required for three credits. Generally, a paper of roughly 8,750 – 12,500 words, including footnotes (with one redraft) should be required for two credits, and normally a minimum of 6,250 words, including footnotes (with one redraft), should be required for one credit.

This class will provide an overview of the international human rights law system. We will examine the primary substantive standards that comprise the core of international human rights law, such as rights to a fair trial and to be free from genocide, torture, summary execution, arbitrary arrest and detention, and discrimination. We will also examine so-called “second-generation rights,” such as economic, social, and cultural rights. We will study the primary institutions and processes for the enforcement of such rights: treaty monitoring bodies, the regional human rights courts and commissions, the United Nations institutions, including the Human Rights Commission and the Security Council, domestic implementation through legislative and judicial mechanisms, as well as through inter-governmental diplomacy, reporting, and the mobilization of shame by non-governmental organizations. And, we will examine the explosion of international criminal tribunals, beginning with an examination of the Nuremberg trials, then a look at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and the new International Criminal Court.

Course Description:
This course aims to fill a gap in the education of most lawyers, namely, how to effectively think about and use empirical evidence. How do lawyers and the law obtain needed facts about the way the world works, evaluate those facts, and employ them in making law as well as in deciding cases? The course will improve your skills in dissecting an opponent’s evidence and in presenting your own more intelligently and effectively. Although the materials of the course emphasize cases involving social science data, the intellectual skills and legal issues are equally applicable to any other kind of empirical evidence in law (e.g., biomedical, economic, forensic science, etc.), and some of the cases and materials we will use involve those other subject matters. The course has these goals: (1) To assist students in developing an ability to think rigorously and critically about factual assertions and the evidence offered in their support. (2) To understand the evolving doctrine that governs how the law obtains, evaluates, and gives legal effect to empirical knowledge. (3) To examine these issues in their legal context, as they occur in a wide range of substantive legal areas.

Course Description:
This seminar examines the history of major league baseball in the context of the successive waves of change, both in society and the law, that overtook American society following World War II. Rather than focusing on the themes that preoccupy most histories of professional sport—winners, losers, stars, dynasties, etc.—our seminar will examine and discuss the ways in which major league baseball reflected deeper-running currents in postwar America. Perhaps no event exemplified this interaction more profoundly than the integration of African-American athletes and the breaching of the “color bar” heralded by Jack Robinson’s entry into the National League as a Brooklyn Dodger in 1947; within a decade or so, African-Americans would be joined by a growing cadre of Latino players, most from outside the USA. These once-excluded groups would become fixtures in the major leagues. The same Dodgers, along with their Manhattan rival New York Giants, signaled yet another epochal shift in postwar America when they relocated to California, dramatically altering the geographical balance of professional sport and inaugurating a new era in the business side of baseball, developments we will follow in our third and subsequent meetings. During the semester we will also address such diverse topics as the impact of the Sixties on the sport, shifting media relations, questions of franchise location and the finances of stadium construction, labor relations—especially strikes and free agency-- and the issues that marked the tenure of Commissioner Allan H. “Bud” Selig from the early 1990s until the end of 2014.

Course Description:
This seminar draws together the academic and practical elements of media law, with a particular emphasis on translating constitutional theory into legal action in Arizona. The course covers issues involving access to information (e.g., public records, open meetings, FOIA), interference with the news gathering process (subpoenas, search warrants, gag orders), limitations on content (prior restraints, libel, invasion of privacy) and other "hot topics" in media law, including unique challenges of digital media. In addition, the course focuses on the tensions between law and ethics in the legal and journalistic disciplines, and how the aspirational considerations of the two professions both inform and obscure the duties of reporters and their counsel. Finally, the course explores the analytical and precedential limitations on the absolutist rhetoric of the First Amendment. Some background in constitutional or media law is recommended.

Nanotechnology is the next “big thing” in technology and the law. Nanotechnology is the science of the small – the ability to manipulate and utilize materials at the “nanoscale” level, where they display unique and beneficial characteristics. Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize electronics, medicine, agriculture, materials science, consumer products, manufacturing, and many other industries. Already, several hundred nanotechnology products are on the market, and many more are currently being developed. May law firms have recently established nanotechnology practice groups to help service this rapidly emerging new industry. This seminar will provide an overview of the legal and policy issues relating to nanotechnology, including risk management, national and international regulation, intellectual property, privacy issues, and liability issues.

Course Description:
The course examines the historical, political,
constitutional and legal underpinnings of National
Security Law. How do we legally defend the United
States in a time of cyber-attacks and a seemingly
never ending war with non-nation enemies such as Al-
Qeda or ISIS. At the same time we are guarding
against hack attacks or other belligerent conduct from
traditional foes like Russia. This raises many
questions we will examine including who are our
foreign enemies; foreign countries, terrorist groups,
United States citizens recruited by terrorists groups?
Who decides; the President, Congress, the Courts?
What are the separation of powers questions? We will
look at the rules of engagement when dealing with both
nation and non-nation states. How do the traditional
notions of armed attack, just war and International
Humanitarian Law apply when faced a cyber-attacks and
non-traditional enemies? Can we use drones and
targeted attacks? How do we balance Constitutional
guarantees including the Fourth amendment against
needs for intelligence gathering? How do we protect
government secrets while keeping an open society?
When is detention appropriate as opposed to arrest?
Who is entitled to trial in an Article III court and
who by military tribunal? These are the sorts of
matters we will study and discuss.
1. Students are expected to do all the reading in
advance of class and be ready for discussion,
including cold calls. The course is taught using the
Socratic method.
The final grade for the course will be based on the
papers and on the quality of your participation in
class.
The textbook for the course is National Security Law,
Sixth ed. by Dycus, Berney, Banks, Raven-Hansen,
Vladek. Supplementary materials will also be
provided.

Course Description:
Most of the great open spaces of the western United States - forests, mountains, and deserts - are owned by the federal government in the form of National Forests, National Parks, National Wildlife Refuges, and lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). These publicly-owned lands are important sources of such commodities as timber, minerals, and oil and natural gas. They are also valued by the public for their natural scenery, recreational opportunities, wildlife, and wilderness qualities. Over the last several decades, these lands have been the scene of controversy and conflict over the environmental effects of logging, mining, livestock grazing, recreation, and other land uses. This course will cover the history of federal public land law, the administration of federal public lands, and the interpretation and application of the major federal laws affecting public land management. In addition to casebook readings and class discussions, each student will work with a small group of other students to prepare a presentation to the class on a topic of current controversy in public land management. This course heavily emphasizes collaboration, group work, and real-world perspectives provided by practitioners. In-class and out-of-class activities require student participation in teams and giving graded oral presentations.

Course Description:
Advances in the rapidly developing field of neuroscience have allowed scientists to develop new techniques in investigating the brain activity that underlies cognitive phenomena. We will look at ways in which these advances challenge the law both directly (such as changing the common law definition of death from the cardio-pulmonary standard to brain death) and indirectly (such as changing our views on mental retardation and criminal culpability.) Thus, we will examine how the various emerging neuroscientific findings and technologies could or should affect such topics as moral reasoning, criminal culpability, lie detection, bias detection, cognitive enhancement, and punishment. The first part of the course will explore the neurological definition of personhood, as well as the implications of monitoring and predicting human behavior. The second part of the course will focus on efforts to manipulate or modify the brain. We will also explore some of the challenging questions raised by the increasing use of brain scans as evidence in the courtroom.

The course is targeted at teaching the fundamental knowledge and skills required for preparing patent applications for filing at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) and pursuing them to issuance. The patent practitioner must be prepared to interview the inventor, learn the technology, and prepare the patent application. Further, the patent practitioner negotiates with the examiner and prosecutes the application. Clients expect the practitioner to provide useful counsel on how to pursue the application, options for appealing or otherwise overcoming adverse decisions, and protecting the technology from domestic and foreign competition. The course is designed to train the patent practitioner to understand the patent options for various technologies, clients, and situations. Students learn the basics of drafting patent applications, pursuing the patent application through the PTO process, meeting adverse decisions from the PTO, and maintaining the issued patent. The course also addresses anticipating litigation issues, protecting developing technologies, and pursuing patents abroad.”

Course Description:
Students constitute an U.S. Embassy Country Team for a specific country and manage a reality-based diplomatic agenda. The focus country will be one dealing with challenges related to the establishment of rule of law and good governance. Students will be assigned the actual roles of Embassy team members, and together with their “Ambassador,” practice how U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the rule of law sector, is developed and executed in the field. For this semester, the course will focus on Turkey – a newly independent state that is dealing with legal uncertainties over international recognition and accession to international agreements, systemic corruption, a history of ethnic-based atrocity crimes, unresolved issues over rights of minorities, networks of organized criminality, and secessionist movements that control certain swaths of territory. This course will also examine the broader regional context for development of rule of law. This unique course is part of the McCain Institute Washington Policy Design Studio Experience, consisting of enhanced class sessions and a Washington internship. Students attend the Policy Design Studio class each Monday morning (with a few noted exceptions), followed by afternoon Institute activities. This is a course designed for law and graduate students, modified to be more demanding than the ASU undergraduate version of the PDS course. Participants work standard workdays in their internships Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Unless otherwise noted, attendance at all weekly PDS morning and afternoon sessions is mandatory.

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Other than the authority given to a soldier in time of war, few in government have the power of a prosecutor. A prosecutor may methodically and intentionally seek to take the life of another. A prosecutor may seek to remove a person from society, put them in prison, and keep them there until they die. Society gives prosecutors broad discretion. Certainly a prosecutor must follow the rules of law and ethics, but is that all we as a society should ask of a prosecutor? Many decisions made by a prosecutor are guided by ethics, others decisions require that a prosecutor look beyond the rules of ethics. When the rule of law and ethics allow for the death penalty in a specific case, what other considerations may a prosecutor use when determining whether to seek the ultimate penalty? When thousands of crimes occur in a single day, how should a prosecutor determine which cases are deserving of the government's resources? This course will focus on how a prosecutor should exercise his or her discretion. We will begin with the rules of ethics and standard manuals such as the U.S. Attorney's Manual. We will then cover widely accepted guidance for prosecutors such as Justice Jackson's famous speech to U.S. Attorneys and Deputy Attorney General James Comey's writing on the courage to say no. The course will cover a wide variety specific prosecutorial decisions such as District Attorney Michael Nifong's decision to prosecute the Duke Lacrosse players, or U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson's refusal to obey President Nixon's order to fire the Watergate Special Prosecutor. The course instructor was a career prosecutor for more than 16 years, serving at the Arizona Attorney General's Office as an Assistant Attorney General, and at the U.S. Attorney's Office as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. He was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona from 2001 to 2007, when he was fired for opposing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' decision to seek the death penalty in a homicide case. The format for the course will be lecture and group discussion. The course will be graded on the basis of a final exam, a short paper and class participation, as described in the Syllabus. The course is recommended for any student who is considering a practice in criminal law.

Course Description:
The protection and preservation of the public’s health are quintessential goals of government. Equally critical is the need to respect individual rights and norms in American society. The classic conundrum of public health law and ethics is the extent to which government may restrain or impinge citizens’ interests, directly or indirectly, to promote the health and safety of the community.
This course explores the inherent tensions between promoting the public’s health and protecting the legal and ethical rights and interests of individuals.
Primary objectives are to: (1) better understand the structure and functions of the public health system; (2) define public health and public health law in theory and practice; (3) understand the roles of government, private sector entities, and individuals in assuring the conditions for people to be healthy; and (4) assess multifarious legal and ethical conflicts between governmental interests in public health and individual rights. These conflicts will be examined through critical facets of public health practice— e.g., health promotion and communication; public health powers such as immunization, testing, screening, quarantine, and isolation; public health emergencies; regulation of businesses and professions; and tort litigation. Of final note - while protecting the public’s health has global dimensions, this course focuses on public health law in the U.S.

Course Description:
This course will focus upon the valuation of interests in real property and closely-held businesses. The valuation principles to be examined apply in business and economic damages litigation, private property rights disputes, eminent domain proceedings, family law disputes, securities and insurance actions, and almost every other type of litigation which involves a determination of the value of, or damage to, an interest in real property or in a business enterprise. The same principles apply in a wide range of business transactions including mergers, acquisitions, financing and estate planning. This introductory valuation and damages course is specifically designed for prospective real estate, land use, corporate, tax and trial attorneys who anticipate practice in the real estate or business law fields. With respect to real estate valuation, the entire appraisal process will examined, including the provisions to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The three methodologies for valuing interests in real property (cost analysis, sales comparison analysis, and income analysis) will each be explored. Special issues, such as the valuation of leasehold interests will also be discussed. With respect to business valuation (including the valuation of professional practices), the course will examine the different standards of value, the compilation and analysis of necessary financial information, and the different methodologies available to assist in the valuation process. Among the specific methodologies which will be discussed will be the guideline publicly traded company method, the capitalized excess earnings method, and capitalized economic income methods. Discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability will also be discussed. One class session will be devoted to a demonstration courtroom examination of a prominent business valuation expert. No prior accounting or mathematics training is required.

Course Description:
The successful lawyer will be presented with moral and ethical choices throughout his professional career. This innovative course is designed to encourage students to confront those fundamental moral challenges, to develop skills in moral analysis and judgment, and to come to terms with their own definition of moral leadership and how it can be translated into action. The course is based on the leadership course, The Moral Leader, brought by Professor Robert Coles, an educator and psychiatrist, to Harvard Business School in the 1980s. Since then it has been taught to thousands of students at Harvard’s schools of business, law, medicine, architecture, politics, design, divinity and education. Drawing on the inspiration of major literary and historical figures such as Machiavelli, Truman, and Achebe, and based upon an impressive array of literary sources, including novels, plays, history, and biography, the seminar-style setting of the course requires students to be thoroughly prepared for each session, willing to participate in rigorous analysis, continual dialogue, and intensive discussion.

Course Description:
This class will focus on the process and practice of white collar and corporate criminal prosecution, defense and case resolution mainly in the pre-charging phase. It will not be a class that focuses on the elements of substantive criminal offenses, although we will analyze at least one federal substantive crime. Rather it will attempt to examine the process the government uses to investigate and prosecute what are commonly referred to as white collar crimes and the process and methodology defense lawyers and corporate counsel use to respond to these investigations, to avoid prosecution, and to resolve cases. We will also look at prosecution policy and discretion, the process of plea negotiation, the issues confronted in parallel criminal and civil proceedings, the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, and the ethical issues that arise in these contexts.

Instructor(s): Herrera
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This is a writing seminar intended to help students attain an advanced level of writing proficiency by exposing them to a broad range of legal documents. This course introduces students to skills and documents that are not part of the first-year legal writing curriculum. Overall the students will learn to write to different audiences. The basic skills are how to conceptualize a writing assignment, how to write with clarity, and how to write with precision. Students will apply and develop these basic skills in approximately ten assignments written outside of class, plus some in-class assignments. Assignments may include letters, contracts, complaints, statutes, and consumer-oriented documents such as pattern jury instructions. Roughly half of the assignments emphasize a transactional practice, and half of the assignments emphasize a litigation practice. Students will receive feedback on all of these assignments.

Course Description:
Teaching Assistants work closely with the Legal Writing Professor to whom they are assigned and provide guidance and mentoring to first-year students. Teaching Assistants help with problem selection and generating model answers, hold office hours to assist first-year students with research, help create and grade research and citation exercises, occasionally help with class preparation and/or presentation, and assist with oral argument in the spring. Teaching Assistants generally do not play a major role in teaching and grading first-year students. Teaching Assistants are expected to attend the Legal Research and Writing Course to which they are assigned and meet with the Professor weekly. Teaching Assistants are expected to be available to first-year students and to work well without intensive supervision. Teaching Assistants can expect to spend an average of six to eight hours a week fulfilling their duties, although this may vary from week to week. Teaching Assistants receive 2 Pass/Fail credit hours each semester (for a total of 4 credit hours). Some positions are for the year; others are for one semester only, depending upon the professor's teaching schedule.
