This Indian Law Seminar seeks to deepen and develop legal
writing skills for advocacy and other legal work in Indian
law. The course constitutes a required part of the Indian
Law Certificate program and preference will be given to
certificate students. Other members of the ILP professional
staff may team teach the course. Numerous intensive legal
writing assignments will be required with feedback provided
on student performance. The course will focus on areas of
Indian law to broaden and deepen student understanding of
the subject, in addition to the primary objective of
improving legal writing skills. Grading will be based
primarily on legal writing and research assignments,
although quizzes or other tests may be given on the assigned
readings.
This 2-credit course builds on the skills obtained during the first-year Legal Method and Writing program while introducing students to the conventions and strategies of appellate advocacy. Students are tasked both with drafting an appellate brief and with executing a supporting oral argument. The course focuses on the structure of cogent written legal analysis, the techniques of advanced persuasion, and the strategies of effective oral advocacy.
There is no casebook for this course. The up-to-date text of the Arizona Constitution will be available in the Copy Center at the beginning of the semester. Judicial opinions applying and interpreting the Arizona Constitution and other relevant materials will be accessed through the internet.
The course focuses on essay writing, MBE (multiple choice) questions, and the MPT (multi-state performance test) for the bar exam. (The MPT has just been added to the Arizona bar exam; it is a written office memo or court brief based on facts, case law, and statutes provided by the bar examiners.) Students will be required to write essays, MPT questions, and multiple choice questions as part of weekly homework. All assignments will be graded and then discussed in class. Additionally, there will be a short research paper required and a final exam.
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.
Most semesters, each student participates in one or
more contested hearings or trials; 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.

Class will meet Monday, March 9 through Friday, March 13.
Federal Indian Law I is a pre-requisite for this class.
The class is limited to 10 students - if there is more
student demand, students seeking the Indian Law certificate
will receive preference.
Ho-Chunk, Inc. (HCI) is the award-winning economic
development corporation owned by the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska. Established in 1994 in Winnebago, Nebraska with
one employee, HCI has grown to over 1,100 employees with
operations in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota,
Kansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Washington,
D.C., Afghanistan, Mexico and Iraq. HCI operates 18
subsidiaries in a diverse range of industries including
information technology, construction, government
contracting, professional services, wholesale distribution,
office products and technology, logistics, marketing, media
and retail.
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. It is offered by Lance Morgan, who has combined
his legal and business expertise to develop one of the most
successful native owned corporations in the country, Ho-
Chunk, Inc. 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 provides students with the opportunity to learn the
basic principles of contract drafting, interpretation, and
negotiation. This course will also introduce students to the
role of the transactional lawyer. Emphasis will be placed on
drafting contractual agreements that effectuate clients’ needs
and anticipate potential legal problems. Students will be
required to work independently and collaboratively to revise
and draft a wide variety of written contracts and contract
terms.
This is the basic course on the tax problems of corporations and shareholders. The topics will cover what entities are taxable as corporations, distributions to shareholders (dividends and redemptions), liquidations and sales of assets, organizational problems, reorganizations, and the special tax provisions applicable to small businesses. If time permits, more specialized topics such as collapsible corporations, personal holding companies, accumulated earnings problems, and multiple corporations will be taken up.
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.
This a one-credit workshop/class delivered in seven two-hour sessions. It is designed for law students who already write “clearly, cogently, and comprehensively,” but think there should be more than those three “C’s. There is. I call it creative writing for lawyers. The secret is something lawyers did not learn in law school. We learned it by practicing law. And we learned it first from clients, who demanded more from us than just clarity, cogency, and comprehensive content. Unlike the legal world, the literary world has always demanded systematic focus, a conscious writing style, and an understanding of the patterns that exist in one variation or another (drumroll here). The secret is effective storytelling. The course syllabus is not a story, and just barely qualifies as something the three Cs would be proud of. The syllabus hints at, suggests, and implies what my course is designed to do. It's designed to whet your appetite. If writing for story tastes good to you, then you will use the techniques that fiction writers use in telling their stories. But you will always be bound by the truth; in legal briefs, letters to clients, and in legal opinions. Truth is the law's glue.
This class is a crossover from merely conveying the legal issue to telling the legal story underlying the issue. That’s how Louis Achinloss, Earle Stanly Gardner, John Grisham, John Mortimor, Richard North Patterson, and Scott Turrow did it. All were excellent lawyers before they became best-seller novelists. First, they wrote the law, then they crossed over and wrote fiction. They drafted legal papers the same way they later drafted manuscripts—by using story as the spine of whatever they wrote. They wrote differently from appellate judges whose opinions will control much of your life as a lawyer. And differently from how clients, trial judges, and opposing lawyers expect you to write. If you write for story, in addition the three Cs, you will make judges happy, clients smile, and astound your colleagues.
Perhaps I’m a one-man band, but I think clients and judges deserve more from us than we give them in our writing. Some lawyers practice law in much the same way musicians tune pianos, or cosmeticians apply makeup. They do it competently, but without understanding the value of drama, or the power of dramatic skills. Think about Truman Capote and his gift to the legal world; not to mention his impact on the literary world. He recognized the public’s growing interest in nonfiction, but objected to that genre’s traditionally dry style. Did he have lawyers in mind when he thought about “dry style”? He posed a groundbreaking question in the 1960’s—what would happen if a true story were told in the form of a novel? His 1965 novel (“In Cold Blood”) is a meticulously researched, factual account of the rampage, and ultimate execution of two sociopathic murderers. He melded the accuracy of nonfiction with the dramatic force of fiction. You won’t master any of the vital skills of using storytelling as the spine of legal writing in this class. It’s only seven two-hour workshops. But you’ll extend your legal-literary reach. That will inch you into a new generation of lawyers, some of whom took this class. They now write on the foggy frontier between legal writing and creative nonfiction writing. It might rejuvenate you.
This course has two distinct components: a seminar and the sentencing workshop. The seminar will meet once a week. It will cover issues in sentencing theory and policy, including theories of punishment, aggravating and mitigating sentencing factors, mandatory minimum sentences, and the Supreme Court’s Sixth Amendment sentencing cases. Each student will complete one paper, at least 15 pages in length. Students will select a topic either from among those provided by the professor or their own topic with the professor’s prior approval. Students will also be required to create discussion questions for a number of seminar meetings and to lead at least one class discussion during the semester. Attendance and class participation are mandatory.
The sentencing workshop will meet all day on Friday, April 10, 2020. Workshop participants will include all students enrolled in the seminar and five or six sitting Maricopa County Superior Court judges. In preparation for the workshop, students will read materials from selected criminal cases and prepare memoranda describing their views on appropriate sentences in those cases. Students MUST commit to attending the workshop to enroll in this course. DO NOT enroll in this course if you cannot attend the November 16 day-long workshop.
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 after the spring semester begins, and write 25 additional pages during the semester.
There is no casebook for this course. Relevant case and legislative material will be accessed through the internet
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.

This class will introduce students to the federal laws, regulations, and guidance that have been enacted to combat fraud and abuse in federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The topics to be covered include an overview of Medicare, an introduction to the primary civil and criminal fraud statutes, such as the False Claims Act, Anti-Kickback Statute, the Stark Law, fraud and abuse investigations, initiatives, enforcement and prosecution by the government against health care providers, the impact and implications of Qui tam actions, the fraud and abuse provisions contained in recent health care reform legislation (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010), self-disclosure protocols, and practical considerations for defending health care fraud and abuse investigations and cases.
Transactional attorneys practicing in the health care field must be equipped with the skills necessary to handle the various types of transactions that occur in other fields, e.g., ownership and asset purchases, employment and service agreements, and real estate transactions. Litigation attorneys practicing in the health care field must be able to handle the wide variety of disputes and proceedings that other litigators face. In addition, both transactional attorneys and litigators who practice in the health care field must be familiar with wide array of rules applicable specifically to health care providers, including rules applicable to providers who bill for services provided to members of federal health care programs, e.g., Medicare and Medicaid (the “F&A Rules”). Also, since health care transactions often trigger internal investigations and self-reports, as well as administrative, civil and criminal investigations and proceedings, students who wish to practice in these areas likely will need to know how the F&A Rules impact the structuring of transactions; how the transactions might lead to investigations or proceedings; and, how those investigations and proceedings might unfold.
This course is designed to provide students with: Students are encouraged to complete Health Law & Policy (Law 650) before taking this Course.
The final examination will be an open book examination.
The course will analyze the commercial health insurance markets with a particular focus on the impact of the Affordable Care Act on the stability of these markets, as well as any changes that are made to the legislation in its design or implementation, or as a result of judicial determinations. The use of private insurers to provide coverage to Medicare beneficiaries, including the Medicare Advantage Part C and Medicare Part D Programs, will also be reviewed and analyzed, along with managed care plans engaged by State Medicaid Programs (including Arizona’s Medicaid Program), to provide coverage to lower income populations. In addition, the impact of prescription drug prices on health insurance premiums will also be addressed, including efforts by health insurers to manage these costs, and state and federal law initiatives that attempt to control prescription drug prices.
Evolving changes in provider payment systems utilized by health insurers will be assessed to identify the dramatic shift away from the traditional fee-for-service model to payment innovations focused on quality outcomes and cost efficiencies. How will these new changes affect the legal environment which was initially based on a fee-for-service system?
Finally, the role of the insured as a consumer of health care services will be explored. This will include the issues of financial engagement and wellness, and the information consumers need to have about provider networks, health care costs, and quality outcomes to ensure the competitiveness of the health insurance marketplace.

This course is designed to introduce the basic elements of financial accounting to attorneys. This course will present the “Fundamentals of Accounting” as well as the “Accounting Principles” that form the foundation for current day accounting. The students will gain an understanding of Financial Statements, Financial Statement and Auditing reporting requirements and a general overview of the entities that set the rules, ethics and standards for the accounting profession. The course is divided into three (3) sections consisting of the introduction of accounting, forensic and valuation issues and the examination and cross-examination of accountants.
Students will be required to draft a set of written
materials which will include a final paper containing
analysis of a problem susceptible to being addressed
by legislation, discussion of potential legislative
options for addressing it, selection of a preferred
option, and strategies for advocacy (including
coalition-building and media). Students may also be
required to draft and submit some or all of the
following: proposed statutory language; draft
legislative history (report language, colloquies,
Congressional Record statements); talking points; fact
sheets; and testimony.
The final grade will consist of
the following components: 1) written assignments -
80%, 2) class participation – 20% (to include assigned
class presentations).

This course focuses on one of the most specialized areas of litigation; suits against licensed professionals, doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, etc. The personal and professional consequences of such suits increase the intensity of the litigation. Add the fact that insurance policies for professionals, unlike other liability policies, often provide that the insured must approve any settlement, and the atmosphere surrounding these suits can become supercharged.
This course analyzes the elements and requirements of negligence claims against licensed professionals. The course explores substantive tort and contract law causes of action and defenses such as non- party at fault and the economic loss doctrine. Respondent superior and its applicability to these cases, as well as developing concepts set forth in Section 56 of the Restatement (Third) of the Law Governing Lawyers, are also considered. The course also explores the impact that a claim of professional negligence has with the professional’s licensing board.
In addition to exploring the legal issues commonly experienced in claims against all licensed professionals, the course also addresses important practical issues that face the trial attorney such as insurance coverage, statute of limitations, statute of repose and claims in excess of the insurance policy limits.
Enrollment in all clinics is determined through an application process.
Students will have the option of completing their graduation writing requirement through the Mediation Clinic, by enrolling in a one-credit independent study. Registration instructions will be provided during the first week of classes.
Each student will choose an innovative legal policy – possibly something that is currently being done, or experimented with, or under discussion in the U.S. policy world, or in place in another country, or a clever idea you (the student) invent –research it thoroughly, critically evaluate it, and present your findings and conclusions orally to the class and in a written paper.
The semester will be divided into two unequal halves:
I. Readings and discussion of major background topics to acquire a basic understanding of the problem of medical error and the conventional malpractice litigation response.
II. Presentations of and class discussion about your projects in progress.
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.
20% of the grade will be determined by a paper presented at the end of the course. 80% of the grade will be determined by class participation, completion of the reading and weekly writing assignments.
1. the student writes a minimum of 3,750 words of a
brief (if multiple team members, each team member must
be responsible for a minimum of 3,750 words);
2. the student participates in a minimum of five (5)
practice oral arguments; and
3. the student rewrites the brief (or his/her portion
of the brief) under the supervision of the faculty
supervisor, following the competition.
One of the key distinctions between national security issues
and traditional criminal law is that national security is
about collecting intelligence and using it to disrupt
improper foreign activities before they occur as opposed to
apprehending and convicting people after a crime occurs.
This raises significant civil rights, due process and
privacy issues which we will also explore.
We will also examine the distribution of power between the
branches of government regarding national security. What is
the President’s proper role and what role should Congress
and the Court’s play? We will also look at how protecting
our security may impact our relations with other countries
and groups. How does immigration policy fit into all of
this?
Course Expectations
Your grade in this course will be a function of both class
participation and a final paper. There are weekly reading
assignments which are set forth below. The text for the
course is Stephen Dycus, Arthur Berney, et al. National
Security Law, Sixth Edition and the 2019-2020 Supplement for
that text. At the time I’m preparing this syllabus, I do not
have the supplement. The reading assignments may well change
depending on what is in the supplement. I will post any
changes at least one week before class. There may also be
handouts that I will provide from time to time.
There are no quizzes or exams. There is, however, a final
paper. I will ask you to both define what you believe to the
most critical national security concern facing the Country
and what the legal challenges in addressing that concern
are. The paper should be fifteen pages long. The paper is
due by the last day of exams, Friday, May 8.
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.
By the end of this course, students will understand and be able to discuss and analyze issues relating to:
A. What constitutes a “brand” and how a “brand” is developed;
The final grade will be based on group in-class presentations, a final exam, and class participation and attendance.

By the end of the course, students will be conversant regarding the role race has played in the founding and development of the United States and its laws and how those laws have defined race. Students will be able to answer questions such as:
• What is the legal and social history of the term "race"?
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.
There are no prerequisites for this course. Students need no grounding — or intention to pursue further study or a career — in any aspect of intellectual property law, in order to enjoy and learn from the course. Course materials will consist primarily of recent court decisions and news reports; no books or other materials need be purchased.
Grading:
Paper: Forty (40) percent of the student’s grade
will be based on a research paper on a topic of the
student’s choice with instructor approval. Students may
elect to write their paper on or related to the topic of
their in-class presentation (see below). Students should
write a paper of 8-10 double-spaced pages. Final papers are
due on December 3. All students should notify the
instructors of their topic before October 5.
Class Presentation: Each student will select a case
study to present in class. This presentation will count for
twenty (20) percent of the grade. The presentation will
include: (i) identifying at least one week prior to the
presentation one or more readings (<20 pages) on the case
for the other students; (ii) a presentation on the case
study; and (iii) identifying 3-5 key questions the case
presents and leading a class discussion on those questions.
Midterm: A multiple-choice/short answer take-home
midterm will count for thirty (30) percent of the grade.
The midterm will be provided on October 15, and will be due
by October 22.
Class Participation and Attendance: The remaining
ten (10) percent of the grade will be based on class
participation, other interactive discussions via Blackboard,
and attendance.
This course should be of interest to students preparing for corporate practice or work with 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 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.
For an overview of the areas to be focused upon, see web page of Stephen E. Silver at https://www.taxcontroversy.com
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.
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.
The topic of this seminar will be the “New Deal.” It will examine the historical, legal, political, and economic precursors of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s signature domestic program, the controversies surrounding its enactment, and its legacy. Participating students earn one credit which is graded Pass/Fail. The seminar is meant to give students the opportunity to discuss the assigned material in-depth, in an informal setting, with the faculty members.
Students are expected to attend and actively participate in all meetings. Light food and drink will be provided.
The goal of this course, available only to students in the 3L Bar Program, is to provide additional resources to transition students from law school to law practice. This course will introduce students to the practice of law in Arizona. Students will research Arizona secondary and primary sources, including specialized sources, and they will write and edit various practice-oriented documents, such as an engagement agreement and correspondence. In addition, students will practice client counseling skills, discuss the lawyer’s role in the justice system, develop a plan for professional identity, discuss pro bono opportunities in Arizona, and research a specific practice area in-depth.

pz?alias=law.asu.edu/clinics Victims in Criminal Procedure will explore the historical and evolving role of crime victims in the criminal justice process. The law and litigation of crime victims’ rights at the state and federal levels will be examined. Among the topics that will be considered are constitutional and statutory rights for crime victims, the effect of these rights on the rights of the defendant and the criminal justice system generally. The question of enforcing victims’ rights and case law developments will also be considered.
This is an advanced writing seminar that will introduce students to types of legal documents that are not covered in the first-year curriculum. Approximately half the course emphasizes a transactional practice and half the course emphasizes a litigation practice. Assignments may include demand letters, advice letters, contracts, pleadings, and statutes. Classes will consist of a combination of lecture and interactive exercises. Students will receive individualized feedback on all assignments. Spring 2020

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 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!

Instructor(s): Demaine
Course Books: View List of Books
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.

Course Prefix: LAW-653
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Curley
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course will cover basic bankruptcy law and practice, with some information concerning the rights of debtors and creditors under nonbankruptcy law. It begins with the state and common law governing debt collection by creditors, debtors' strategies to avoid collection, who gets paid when there is not enough money to go around, and why many debtors and creditors prefer the rights and remedies under bankruptcy law. The course then considers basic bankruptcy law concepts, such as property to be administered in a bankruptcy, a creditor’s ability be paid, prohibition of creditors’ actions while a debtor is in bankruptcy, and the ability of the debtor to have a “fresh start.” The course also considers basic issues that debtors or creditors may face under Chapter 7 (liquidation), Chapter 11 (repayment by individuals or businesses of debts over time pursuant to a plan), or Chapter 13 (the ability of individuals who receive regular wages to repay their creditors over time pursuant to plan). The end of the course will focus on the outer limits of creditors' rights and what makes 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.

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

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:
The course will focus on the law surrounding three key principles of health insurance reform: (1) providing expanded access to health care coverage through private insurance plans in both the commercial and government subsidized markets; (2) the need of health insurers to change provider payment systems that impact health care costs and quality outcomes; and (3) the challenges associated with greater consumer engagement in the health insurance marketplace through the design and pricing of health benefit plans, as well as increased consumer understanding of health care costs and quality outcomes. The objective of the course is to examine the legal interplay of the three principles referenced above in the health insurance market context. These components will need to be aligned if meaningful health insurance reform is to occur in the United States under the current health care financing system.

Course Description:
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 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: What is law and the rule of law? 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 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 Section: 032
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Cohen
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Using clips from movies and television programs, short stories, depositions and trial transcripts and other sources for hypotheticals we will explore the ethical and professionalism issues that arise in the everyday practices of civil and criminal litigation. As this course will look not only at the issues that arise but also how they are and should be addressed, we will spend about equal time on ethics and professionalism issues and litigation skills. The method of instruction will include lecture, class discussion (at both the full class and break-out groups levels) and in class simulations. The goal is for students to be able to recognize the ethical and professionalism issues they will confront in the everyday practice of law and to have the confidence, because of their familiarity with litigation practices and skills, to confront and deal with such issues appropriately. This class is offered as a pass/fail course. Students will be expected to attend class, participate in the in-class activities, and write two short (3-5 page) papers commenting on ethical issues presented by either media and actual depictions of litigation practice.

Civil litigation in our courts is dominated by mass tort cases, ranging from asbestos personal injury litigation, Agent Orange in Vietnam, silicone breast implants, the 9/11 litigation, the BP Oil Spill, Dalkon Shield, and the NFL Concussion Litigation to the opioid litigation. This class explores the theory and practice of mass torts, including substantive laws and court procedures designed to help us resolve big disputes, while protecting individual due process rights; the unique strategic and ethical problems facing mass tort litigators and judges; and how courts try to resolve national problems in a consistent manner, while safeguarding federalism values. The class will explore such procedural devices as class actions, the multi-district litigation (MDL) statute, the Class Action Fairness Act, and joint trials, as well as substantive tort and products liability law, including proving legal causation and the use of scientific evidence.

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.

Instructor(s): Saks
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The #3 cause of death in the United States after heart disease and cancer is preventable medical error. For each such death, several additional patients suffer severe injuries. We are 11 times more likely to die from a medical accident than from a car accident. The goal of this seminar is to explore, invent, and think hard about what the law could do to reduce those tragic numbers. We will begin by reviewing the history, nature and extent of the problem of medical error and injury, the nature and effects of traditional legal solutions (malpractice liability), and law reforms enacted in the past several decades (aimed mainly at weakening tort law as applied to the healthcare setting). With that as background, we will turn our attention to a search for innovative ideas for solving the problem of iatrogenic injury. What can the law do to help increase patient safety?

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.

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).

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.

Through the lens of real world experience, with a focus on recent and current events, this one-hour seminar will use the platform of intellectual property protection to examine the processes by which law is made, and policy implemented, by legislators, courts, administrative agencies, and private actors. The law and policy “soup” these participants stir often yields unexpected — and sometimes, undesirable — results. We will see how and why. Intellectual property law aside, this course will teach lessons that can be cross-applied to other subject areas, in law school and thereafter.

Course Description:
When it comes to the creation of human life, yesterday’s science fiction has become today’s reality. Stories about baby sellers, egg freezing, runaway surrogate mothers, genetic enhancement, and octomoms have exposed the lack of meaningful legal regulation of assisted reproductive technologies and have spurred calls for reform. But the extent to which the State should regulate who can reproduce and under what circumstances raises a host of difficult questions. This course will search for answers to those questions by considering the role the Constitution, tort, contract, property, and criminal law have traditionally played in advancing the State’s interest in reproduction and discussing how those doctrines should adapt to new technologies and family configurations. Topics covered will include abortion, gamete donation, In Vitro Fertilization, surrogacy, genetic screening and enhancement, eugenics, medical ethics, and alternative family formation. Course materials will include articles from newspapers, websites, medical journals, and law reviews; cases and statutes; excerpts from books; and documentaries and television news broadcasts.

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.

Instructor(s): Ho
Course Books: View List of Books
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 Books: View List of Books
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.
