This class will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 am - 12:25 pm starting on Wednesday, May 30 and continuing through Wednesday, June 27. The final exam will be administered at 9:30 am on Friday, June 29.

Products Liability refers to civil liability for injuries caused by defective products. It occupies a central role in American law, as the number of new products used by consumers has increased exponentially. Accompanying this proliferation of new consumer products is an increase in injuries. It has been estimated that the number of product accidents is approximately 50 million a year. Products liability is a major way that our society attempts to moderate undue risks. Products liability mixes tort law (negligence, strict liability and deceit) and contract law (warranty) as well as common law (mostly tort) and statutory law (from the UCC). This class will trace the development of products liability law, and analyze the major issues currently confronting the courts in this area. It will examine the main theories of manufacturer liability, the concept of product defect, and defenses available to the manufacturer. The class will also explore problems of proof and remedies, as well as proposed legislative solutions to problems that arise in these areas.

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 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.

Evidence

Instructor(s): Baier
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays from 1:30 pm - 4:25 pm starting on Friday, July 6 and continuing through Wednesday, August 1. The final exam will be administered at 1:30pm on Friday, August 3.

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.
