2020 Summer Intersession | 2020 Summer A | 2020 Summer C | 2020 Summer B
Attendance in this two-week intensive course is mandatory. Students are subject to sanctions, including withdrawal from the course with a failing grade, for any unexcused absence.
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.
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.
The credits for this class will count toward the graded credit requirement.
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.
On three days, "class" consists of a group meeting between the students and the professor. Group meetings will be held from 10:00 am - noon. The first group meeting will be held on June 3. The other two will likely be on the second and fourth Fridays. 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 10:00 am and 1:00 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 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.
Student-attorneys enrolled in the Civil Litigation
Clinic represent clients in civil disputes and
administrative proceedings under close faculty
supervision. Cases may include:
• Consumer Fraud
The Civil Litigation Clinic also includes an advanced
seminar that focuses on simulation exercises in such
matters as: advanced interviewing techniques, fact
investigation, case theory development, client
counseling, civil discovery, negotiation, alternative
dispute resolution, and courtroom advocacy. It is a
graded course, with grading based on diligence,
effectiveness and responsibility in representing
clients, and on classroom participation.
Evidence and Professional Responsibility are
prerequisite or co-requisite courses.

Credit Hours: 3
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 Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
A student wishing to pursue independent study or fieldwork for credit must obtain approval of the Dean’s designee and the consent of a faculty member to supervise a proposed project. The faculty member assigns the amount of credit that the proposal justifies. In awarding credit to a student for an independent study paper, a faculty member should require a quantum of work from the student which approximates the amount of work expected from students enrolled in a regular course taken for the same number of credits. Faculty members should set minimum lengths for independent study papers based upon the complexity of the subject, the existing volume of literature on the topic, the number of redrafts required to complete the assignment, and the originality of the student's work product. Although exact guidelines cannot be formulated in awarding credit, past practices indicate that generally a paper of approximately 12,500 – 18,750 words, including footnotes, which has been redrafted one or more times after review by the faculty member, will be required for three credits. Generally, a paper of roughly 8,750 – 12,500 words, including footnotes (with one redraft) should be required for two credits, and normally a minimum of 6,250 words, including footnotes (with one redraft), should be required for one credit.
