A. The regulation of amateur athletics by private organizations, state, local and federal governments, and the judicial branch;
This course examines amateur sports law from a legal, business and problem-solving (policy) perspective. The course focuses primarily on interscholastic and intercollegiate athletics, including an examination of gender and racial equity issues. Students will argue an appeal in an infractions case and will prepare a paper offering a thoughtful solution to a significant problem in the amateur sports context.
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;
In Bioethics and the Law, we will take up a wide range of issues including (but not limited to): end of life decisions (including cryonics), human subject research, human enhancement, medical tourism, medical transplants (including head transplants – really!), developments in genetics research such as gene editing (e.g. CRSPR/Cas9), gene therapies, human reproduction (e.g. “three-parent” babies), genetic testing and related issues such as insurance & employment implications.
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.

MATERIALS: The course book (which students hopefully won't have to purchase since we'll be using only certain sections) is The Law of Governance, Risk Management and Compliance, ISBN ISBN-13: 978-1454845447.
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.
Decedent's Estates is a pre-requisite for this class
This class is intended as an overview to expose students to various aspects of a probate and trust practice and to provide students with the opportunity to experience practical applications in such a practice. Students will a) identify and understand options for administration of decedents’ assets, b) open a probate proceeding (with and without a Will), c) familiarize themselves with basic Trust provisions and prepare initial notice requirements for administration of Trusts, and d) identify, understand and negotiate resolution of common issues in probate and trust litigation. Students will utilize mock fact patterns to identify issues and develop case strategies. Students will use and rely on the Arizona Probate Code Practice Manual, the Arizona Probate Code (Title 14 of Arizona Revised Statutes) and the Arizona Probate Rules to analyze strategies and prepare pleadings.
"Courtroom Ethics" is an advanced ethics seminar for law
students who anticipate a litigation focus in public or
private practice. Trial lawyers routinely face extremely
difficult ethical dilemmas during trial. What must they do
in the face of client perjury in open court? How do they
resolve the problem of opposing counsel's refusal to abide
by the court's rulings? What happens when the lawyer becomes
aware of a judge's involvement with opposing counsel? How do
they respond to the client's insistence that evidence be
hidden, or a slanted view of it be argued to the jury? Are
there courtroom solutions for witness perjury, juror
misconduct, evidence spoliation, judicial intemperance, and
client fraud? This course will focus on real life in
Arizona’s courtrooms. It will provide solutions for the
unexpected, yet inevitable ethical crisis that most trial
lawyers face in the first few years of practice. The ethics
of client preparation, witness coaching, voir dire, opening
statements, direct and cross-examination, dealing with
opposing counsel, interacting with judge and jury, and
closing arguments will be covered in class. Society's
disagreements are resolved in courtrooms. Thus, the pivotal
need for ethical conduct is highest where the level of
aggression is the greatest. My goal for Courtroom Ethics—
2017 is to provide a framework of reference within which
ethical dilemmas can be resolved. I will identify ethical
rules and standards of practice, but the course will focus
on solutions to ethical dilemmas, rather than merely
identifying them.
The first class will be a lecture/demonstration on how creative writing can aid and abet legal writing. The remaining seven classes will consist of a lecture-discussion session and a writing workshop. 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.
This course focuses on provisional pre-judgment and post-judgment procedures used to protect and enforce contractual obligations and money judgments. Topics to be covered include the constitutionality of provisional pre-judgment remedies, necessary procedures to effectuate valid executions, garnishments, replevins and attachments, and perfecting judgment liens.
NOTE: This class is limited to JD students only

Insurance touches virtually every area of the law. This course will cover practical issues in insurance claims, including recognizing coverage, making the claim, responding to the insurer’s position, embarking on litigation, and obtaining a recovery. This course complements Insurance Law and may be taken alone or in conjunction with that class.
The course will include a detailed review of the most important United States Supreme Court decisions (e.g., Penn Central, Nollan, Lucas, Dolan, Palazzolo,Tahoe and Lingle) which, in the context of so-called "regulatory takings” disputes, explore the circumstances in which government action may go "too far" and constitute a taking of private property without just compensation. The eminent domain process will also be discussed, including the United States Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London.
In addition, a unique section of the course will utilize the land acquisition litigation arising from the planning and construction of the Bank One Ballpark/Chase Field project (Phoenix, Arizona) as a case study. Pleadings from the appellate proceedings will supplement course materials and will focus on the purposes for which private property may be condemned. The course instructor was one of the trial and appellate attorney for the Maricopa County Stadium District.
The course will also examine the nature and history of title insurance and the role of title insurance in protecting private property rights. Unlike other courses which focus solely on a limited area of substantive law or, alternatively, on procedural or evidentiary considerations, this innovative course explores all aspects of "takings" law from philosophies underpinning (and contradicting with) takings jurisprudence to the evolution of the substantive law through the tactics and strategies often employed at trial and in land use planning decisions.
The format will be principally lecture, with lively group discussion anticipated. The course is recommended for future trial attorneys (government and private), for prospective real estate and land use lawyers, and for others with an academic interest in understanding the law and history behind the headlines.
Regular attendance and preparation are required in
all courses. Attendance and class participation will be
factored into each student’s final grade.

Sports Law is a course that deals with the legal issues relating to the structure and operation of the sports industry. The course reviews various principles applicable to sports including antitrust, labor, intellectual property, league policies, NCAA regulations, and general business operations. Various other legal issues relating to professional and amateur sports will be covered.
The Sustainability Law Research Seminar course enables students to work closely with a full-time professor and with peers on substantive legal academic research projects in the area of environmental sustainability. The students receive extensive professor feedback throughout the research and writing process and workshop their papers to their peers within the class and give PowerPoint presentations of their projects. The course seeks to help students produce sustainability-related law articles worthy of publication in legal academic journals.
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.
The roots of the Office of State Attorney General run deep in American jurisprudence. All thirteen American colonies had an attorney general and today all fifty states provide legal services to state government through an office of state attorney general that possesses extraordinarily broad jurisdiction. In all states but Hawaii, New Jersey, Wyoming and Alaska, the Office is independent of the governor.
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.
While this course has no formal prerequisites, it is recommended that students have previously taken secured transactions or one of the other two bankruptcy courses first. ***Warning, these cases are not easy to read. When reading, please try to keep in mind the specific issue of the week and read it through that lens. Finally, the class will be expected to participate in weekly discussions on blackboard regarding that week's topic.
This on-line course will introduce MLS students to the U.S. legal system and to the types of legal reasoning used by lawyers and judges.

Course Description:
Antitrust Law (or competition law, as it is known outside the United States) represents the most basic form of economic regulation in market-oriented national economic systems. These laws regulate business relationships between competitors, the range of permissible conduct by large or dominant firms, and relationships between firms at different levels in the chain of distribution. Potential offenses include monopolization, collusion and other agreements (including mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures) in restraint of trade. In recent years, the antitrust laws have become particularly important in industries involving network technologies and/or the extensive use of intellectual property. Antitrust concepts also lay at the heart of most forms of licensing and/or capacity regulation by federal agencies such as the FCC, FERC, DOT, etc. The class will conclude with a single, in-class final examination. During the final examination, students may use a self-prepared outline of any length.

Course Description:
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are rapidly evolving technologies that are already disrupting the practice and substance of law. The first blockchain, Bitcoin, has become an international sensation as it value skyrockets and plummets. But Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just one small corner of blockchain applications – it is also being applied to supply chain management, financial and banking functions, stocks and bonds, property and land deed ownership, wills and estates, health data, and eventually even government functions such as taxation and voting. It is also changing the practice of law, as some new law firms exist wholly on the blockchain, employing a radically different business model for law. This course will familiarize students with the technology behind blockchain, and explore the legal and policy applications and implications of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

Course Description:
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.

Instructor(s): Sahani
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course introduces the procedures, principles, and
rules that govern civil litigation (not criminal
matters), focusing on federal court. Specifically, you
will study personal jurisdiction, subject matter
jurisdiction, venue, choice of law (the “Erie
doctrine”), pleading, joinder, discovery, summary
judgment, and the preclusion doctrine. This class is
different from most of your other first-year
substantive law classes in one important respect.
Courses such as torts, property, and contracts are
known as "common law" courses in which the relevant
legal principles derive from and develop through,
primarily, judicial decisions. In contrast, civil
procedure derives from formal court rules, statutes,
the Constitution, and judicial interpretations
thereof. As a result, most of the cases that you will
read and consider in civil procedure interpret and
apply formally codified procedural rules, statutes, or
constitutional provisions. Ultimately, this course
will help you develop and hone your legal analytical
skills by reading, synthesizing, and applying rules,
statutes, and case law.

Course Description:
If certain requirements are satisfied, Federal Civil Procedure Rule 23 permits aggregate litigation in the form of a class action. This popular procedural device has been used in various substantive areas – e.g., antitrust, civil rights, consumer protection, employment, mass torts and securities – to resolve legal claims en masse. This course will focus on the procedural aspects of class action law, making the course content relevant to all types of class actions, without regard to the substantive nature of the claims. We will examine the requirements for class certification, the manner in which the class certification decision is made, the procedural protections required for class litigation, as well as various constitutional and other issues impacting the conclusive reach of litigated or settled class actions. The course is recommended for students with an interest in litigation and for those with an academic interest in this often hyped, and sometimes maligned, form of claim resolution.

SLN #: 87477
Course Prefix: LAW-653
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Baum
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course will cover basic debtor-creditor law and bankruptcy law and practice. It begins with the state and common law governing how money judgments are enforced, debtors' strategies to avoid collection, and who gets paid when there is not enough money to go around. This also includes federal statutory limitations on collection remedies. It then addresses liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the effect of the discharge of debts in bankruptcy, the exceptions to discharge, and the new “means test” limitations on eligibility to file for a Chapter 7 discharge. This leads to the Chapter 13 "wage earner" plan for repayment of creditors over time. The latter half of the course will focus more on aspects of commercial bankruptcy law, including the automatic stay, preferences and fraudulent conveyances, and the trustee's "strong arm" powers. It is these laws that prescribe the outer limits of creditors' rights and make the bankruptcy courts the de facto commercial courts for the nation. There are no prerequisites to this course, although a background in secured transactions would be very helpful.

Course Description:
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:
NOTE: This course is limited to students admitted
to the Washington DC Externship Program. Class will be held in the ASU Washington Center in DC
This course examines selected advanced administrative
law and regulatory policy issues relating to executive
agencies. Through readings and case studies, students
will gain an advanced understanding of how government
agencies do what they do, and of the rules and
institutions that control them.
The focus of the course will be on U.S. federal
government agencies, with some comparisons drawn to
state institutions. The class will
consider the creation and structure of agencies,
agency adjudication and rulemaking, as well as how
agencies make policy and engage in regulatory
enforcement. In addition, the class will consider the
various controls on government agency action, including judicial
review and other limits on agency discretion. Guest
speakers from the public and private sector will be
invited to meet with the class to describe their
experiences.
Case studies, some from the textbook, others from
newsworthy events, will help students focus on the
role of the lawyer in government agency decision-
making and relations with other stakeholders. A final
paper (of approximately 20 pages in length) and
various in-class exercises associated with the case
studies will be required. The final grade will consist
of the following components: 1) final paper - 75%, 2)
class participation – 25% (to include in-class
exercises).

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.

Course Description:
This course introduces students to the practice of
international arbitration and its complexities,
controversies, and innovations. International
arbitration is an essential, peaceful means of resolving
disputes worldwide involving countries, businesses, and
individuals. International arbitration cases can involve
issues ranging from business dealings to foreign direct
investments to intergovernmental disputes regarding
country boundaries, control over natural resources, or
trade regulations. This course addresses international
arbitration in its three main forms: international
commercial arbitration (business v. business), investment
treaty arbitration (business v. country), and
intergovernmental dispute settlement (country v.
country). There are no prerequisites. A basic
introduction to arbitration (in contrast to litigation)
will be provided at the beginning of the course.

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.

Instructor(s): Murphy
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Jurisprudence (philosophy of law) is usually divided
into two areas of inquiry: analytical jurisprudence
(the analysis of legal concepts--e.g., law,
responsibility, liberty, rights, etc.) and normative
jurisprudence (the evaluation of legal doctrines and
practices), The emphasis of this course will be on
normative jurisprudence. Such issues as the following
might be explored: Is there a moral obligation to obey
the law? How, if at all, can criminal punishment be
justified? What is the proper balance between emotion
and reason in law? What relevance, if any, do
forgiveness and mercy have in the law? How might one
defend the idea of fundamental (or even natural) human
rights? What relevance, if any, should personal
virtues (or vices) have in the law? For example,
should repentant offenders receive less punishment
than unrepentant offenders? Is humility a virtue and,
if so, should it be encouraged in lawyers and judges?
Problems of transitional justice: When a repressive
dictatorship is replaced by a rights respecting
democracy, should the bad actors in the previous
regime (such as police torturers and murderers) be
punished? Readings will be from both classical and
contemporary philosophers and from works of
imaginative literature.

Course Description:
This course will include an analysis of the legal and philosophical bases for a separate juvenile justice system as well as an examination of how the legal system deals with children. Juvenile delinquency will be a significant topic including: jurisdiction and disposition in the juvenile court, procedural differences between the delinquency process and the adult criminal process and the role of the lawyer in the juvenile court process. The other significant topic will be the juvenile dependency system and how the courts balance the need to protect children from abuse and neglect and their parents’ constitutional rights to parent. Issues arising out of the dependency system including permanent guardianships, adoptions, the overlap with family court and the Indian Child Welfare Act will also be discussed. Other general topics will be state enforced limitations on the liberty of minors (e.g., "status" offenses, child labor laws, driving privileges, juvenile curfews, etc.). The roles of lawyers in representing the various individuals and agencies will also be explored.

Course Description:
Nearly every field in the practice of law now involves some interaction between law and science and technology -- whether it be litigation, administrative law, environmental law, constitutional law, telecommunications law, health law, corporate law, employment law, contract law, property law and many others. Lawyers who are knowledgeable and comfortable in dealing with the scientific and technological aspects underlying many legal issues are in great demand at law firms, companies, government agencies and other providers of legal services. This survey course is intended to provide the student with an introduction to the various ways in which the legal system interacts with science and technology, and the skills and knowledge necessary to address such issues. The course will examine the interactions and conflicts between law and science using a series of illustrative case studies addressing current issues such as the internet, cloning, air pollution, the Daubert standard for admission of scientific evidence, tobacco research, the Microsoft antitrust case, electric vehicles, digital copyright, genetically modified foods, nanotechnology, anti-terrorism technology, global warming and privacy. No special background or expertise in science or technology is required to benefit from this course. Students can elect to take a take-home exam or write a research paper (20-30 pp.) for the course. This course qualifies as a “core course” for the LS&I Certificate program.

Course Description:
Negotiation is a critical leadership skill yet largely counter-cultural to many of us. Understanding our individual strengths and developing an intentional negotiation strategy will enable each of us to achieve more sustainable agreements in our work and life. This course examines all aspects of the negotiation process from preparation to writing up agreements. We will explore how neuroscience is teaching us to understand human reactions to risk of loss situations and navigate them more successfully. Students will learn negotiation principles, skills, and ethics by participating in a series of simulation exercises and through reading assignments.

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.

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:
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.

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.

In other words, almost everyone who practices law needs to understand the state attorneys general!

SLN #: 93031
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 022
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Curley
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course explores how local, national, and international companies reorganize and survive during these difficult financial times. This course initially considers the concept of reorganization under the current bankruptcy law. Building on this knowledge, the course then tackles the issues of how and why companies file a bankruptcy petition, what funding or assets are available to pay creditors, how a city or county continues to operate while in bankruptcy, what types of plans are successful, and what happens if the company is unable to persuade creditors to accept a proposed plan. From an international law standpoint, we will consider the background of cross-border insolvencies, the new model insolvency law, and the interplay of treaties and public policy in the company’s reorganization and how such influences may affect the legal result. The course will include certain case studies and problems to assist you in understanding the legal issues to reach practical solutions.

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Gibson
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
With the increasing importance of intellectual property, companies must take appropriate steps to protect and maintain their valuable intellectual property. Much of those efforts must arise in the area encompassed by the intersection between intellectual property law and employment law. Proper use of trade secrets and restrictive covenants prevents unfair competition and allows employers to protect their valuable intellectual property, while still providing for mobility in the workplace. This course will consider the law of trade secrets, focusing on the principles set forth in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Restatement (Second) of Torts, and the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition. The second portion of the class will focus on the law of restrictive covenants, with an emphasis on Arizona case law and principles. Students will learn principles of drafting effective restrictive covenants, non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, as well as an overview of litigation strategies and techniques.

SLN #: 88062
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 019
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Gilman;Wood
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This seminar course focuses on transactional practice-readiness skills in real estate transactions. In addition to discussion of certain aspects of real estate law topically, this course is intended to simulate real estate law practice in a real world environment and enhance practice-readiness in transactional practice. The process of buying, selling, and developing real estate from a legal perspective, legal documentation used, and the due diligence involved in these transactions will be examined. Real estate transactions are often impacted by federal and state laws, local laws and ordinances, and the rights of parties that have interests in the title to the particular real estate. This course includes a look at the impact of laws and regulations and various property rights and interests, in a commercial real estate transaction. Real estate purchase and sale documentation and due diligence will be explored from a practice-readiness perspective, including letters of intent, options, rights of first refusal and rights of offer, leases, deeds and deed restrictions, use restrictions, easements, and other liens and encumbrances on property title. Students will gain experience in drafting and negotiating purchase and sale documents. They will also gain experience in the use of escrows and the import of title insurance in real estate transactions, including review of property title and survey, preparation of escrow instructions, and preparing and reviewing client communications in a transactional real estate context. Students will learn how to maintain a real estate 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 real estate transaction. There will be no final exam in this class.

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.

Course Description:
Writing Assistants work closely with the Legal Writing Professor to whom they are assigned and provide guidance and mentoring to first-year students. Writing 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. Writing Assistants generally do not play a major role in teaching and grading first-year students. Writing Assistants are expected to attend the Legal Research and Writing Course to which they are assigned and meet with the Professor weekly. Writing Assistants are expected to be available to first-year students and to work well without intensive supervision. Writing 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. Writing 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.
