2019 Summer Intersession | 2019 Summer A | 2019 Summer C | 2019 Summer B
There must be at least 10 students enrolled in order for the class to be taught.
Enrollment is limited to JD Students.
This course provides students with the opportunity to learn the principles of effective contract drafting.
Emphasis will be placed on drafting agreements that effectuate clients’ needs and anticipate potential legal problems. Students will be required to draft a series of written contracts, and may also be required to perform research relating to the drafting of those contracts. This course will also introduce students to the role of the transactional lawyer, contract interpretation, and to the process of revising contracts drafted by counsel for the other party.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance and participation is expected. Points will be given for participation up to the maximum permitted under the law school grading policy. Students will be called upon to participate. Substantial information will be delivered in class lectures that is not in the written course materials.
On three days, "class" consists of a group meeting between the students and the professor. Group meetings will be held from 11:00 am - noon on May 28, June 7, and June 25. On all other days, "class" consists of each student meeting individually with the professor for a half-hour conference. Conferences take place at the same time every day being scheduled between 11:00 am - 2:00 pm.
This five-credit course is designed to provide intensive training in legal research and writing. Students are expected to have a solid foundation in basic legal research and writing, and this course should further those skills. By the end of the course, students are expected to have a working knowledge of the major research sources: reporters, digests, annotated statutes, citators, and secondary authorities. Students are expected to master two basic writing formats: the office memo and the client letter. Significant time will also be spent writing motions, and students will be exposed to additional documents types as well. Students will be required to rewrite all assignments and will complete a total of approximately thirty assignments during the course. Students will receive extensive individualized feedback on each assignment, and all projects, including both original assignments and rewrites, will be graded. Students are expected to spend an average of eight to ten hours per day on class assignments.
***NOTE: Once enrolled, students are not permitted to withdraw from the course without permission from the instructor. Withdrawal without approval will result in a failing grade for the course.
Class is limited to ASU JD degree candidates. Students are prohibited from working or taking any other courses during the session they are enrolled in Intensive Legal Research and Writing.
Most semesters, each student participates in one contested hearing; acts as a fact investigator in preparation for a contested hearing or trial; and works on a written project such as a motion, brief, complaint, or disclosure statement.

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:
This course proceeds in three parts. First, we will examine the American philosophical traditions that argue for protecting certain public lands from further human development. Second, we will study the major federal “wilderness protection” statutes: the 1908 Antiquities Act, the 1916 National Park Service Organic Act, and the 1964 Wilderness Act. An important case study here will involve the ongoing litigation involving the designation (and reduction in area) of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. Finally, we will examine the critiques and limitations of the American wilderness tradition and proposals to reorient wilderness protection to a focus on biological diversity.

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.

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:
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:
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.
