This course will focus on the rights secured by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, taking a more historical approach. The class will start in the year 1215, with Magna Charta, and explore historical notions of “due process of law,” “protection of the laws,” and “privileges and immunities” of citizenship, relying on early political history, antebellum legal doctrines, and even some political philosophy. The course will then address the problems confronting the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment: whether free blacks were “citizens of the United States” within the meaning of the Constitution; the problem of mob rule; and the abridgement of rights in the infamous black codes. The remainder (and bulk) of the course will then explore how the Supreme Court has interpreted the three key provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment—the due process, equal protection, and privileges or immunities clauses—from 1873 to the present day.
Administrative agencies impact much of the public's
wellbeing. In addition, a large portion of federal law
comes from administrative agencies. This class
examines the institutional role and legitimacy of
federal administrative agencies. Topics will include:
--the source of administrative authority --the
rationale for delegation of authority to
administrative agencies --constitutional constraints
on agency power --the different forms of agency
rulemaking/policymaking --agency adjudication of facts
and law --the scope and purpose of judicial review of
agency action --the degree to which administrative
agencies exercise--for better or for worse!--
executive, legislative and judicial powers.
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.

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.

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.
• The source of state administrative authority
The course focuses on essay writing, MBE (multiple
choice) questions, and the MPT (multi-state
performance test) for the bar exam. (The MPT 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.
This course will focus on the importance of rule of
law to U.S. engagement with a partner nation. Students
will learn how the U.S. assists foreign countries and
how the U.S. balances its priorities with a host
country’s needs and interests. We will examine what
types of justice assistance the U.S. provides, which
agencies and departments within the U.S. Government
are responsible for assistance, and who our foreign
counterparts are. We will also discuss the roles and
agendas of other actors who build justice institutions
in transitioning countries, such as national
governments and multi-lateral organizations. Students
will learn how to plan rule of law development and how
to formulate a strategy of engagement with a recipient
country. Students will be challenged to think about
all elements (political, military, financial, social,
and environmental) that factor into U.S. engagement
with a foreign country and will be asked to account
for these when designing a program of justice sector
assistance. By placing rule of law development within
the context of broader U.S. national security goals
and interests, students will begin to understand how
rule of law fits into overall U.S. foreign policy. At
the end of the course, students will be well-
positioned to begin the process of embarking on a
career of international rule of law development and
justice capacity building.
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.

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.
If you intend to be a probate practitioner, you may (but are not required to) purchase the Arizona Probate Code Practice Manual from the Arizona State Bar. There should be a $50 discount for students. Otherwise, you may access and download a CD of the forms in the Probate Manual from the Law Library.
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 Canvas.
All students should be familiar with the usual process of
accessing, reviewing, and posting material to a Canvas site.
This course focuses on provisional pre-judgment and post-
judgment procedures used to protect and enforce

This reading seminar will focus on select commentaries and rewritten opinions from the text Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Opinions of the United States Supreme Court. The rewritten opinions seek to illustrate how decision-makers with feminist viewpoints could have arrived at different decisions using different reasoning in critical Supreme Court cases despite the restrictions of stare decisis. The seminar will discuss the implications of the original decisions and how the application of feminist theory and reasoning can change law and reveal inherent biases in the justice system.

American Bar Association Section of Science and
Technology and the Center for the Study of Law, Science,
and Technology of the ASU College of Law.
The process of jury selection is an important and fundamental part of trial practice. This course surveys the bounds of voir dire practice in state and federal courts and addresses variations in jury size and unanimity requirements between state and federal courts. Statutory and case law discussion will focus on the nature and number of preemptory strikes and important narrow issues such as utilization of race as a factor in the jury selection process. Appellate review of jury bias, jury misconduct, and the like will also be a focus of the course.
This course is designed to teach students legislative
lawyering and advocacy skills. These skills include
identifying and assessing issues susceptible to being
addressed by legislation; analyzing and selecting
legislative options for addressing such issues;
drafting statutory and other legislative materials;
and developing a coalition-building and media strategy
for advocating adoption of the proposed legislative
solution. Readings and guest speakers will focus on
advanced and problem-focused discussion of such topics
as Congressional powers, legislative process
(including the functions of legislative committees),
relevant ethics issues (including the regulation of
lobbying), Presidential vetoes and signing statements,
statutory interpretation, as well as case studies in
successful legislative advocacy campaigns.
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 seminar will focus on the underlying theory and
the routine practice of medical malpractice
litigation. The goal of this seminar is to provide
students interested in medical malpractice litigation
specifically, but also in medical issues in litigation
generally, with an understanding of the claims and
defenses in medical injury cases, the attendant
investigatory and discovery problems, the evidentiary
issues raised when dealing with medical witnesses and
documents, alternative dispute resolution
considerations unique to medical cases and the various
ways to effectively present medical evidence at
hearing or trial. As this is a practice oriented
seminar students will through the course of the semester
apply what they are learning to the investigation,
pleading, discovering, negotiating and ultimately
presenting a hypothetical medical malpractice case.
Enrollment in all clinics is determined through an

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.
The course also necessarily addresses substantive
areas of trademark law, which often provide a basis
for refusal of registration, including that a mark is
generic, merely descriptive, misdescriptive,
geographically descriptive, contains scandalous
matter, or that a mark is likely to cause confusion
with an existing mark or prior application. Therefore,
a basic understanding of intellectual property law is
recommended but not essential.

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 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 Wednesday 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.

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.

Recent elections in the United States have been the
subject of fraud and manipulation allegations that are
usually associated with elections overseas. As a
result, much needed attention is being placed on a
range of potential reforms to the “systems” for
electing government officials, to the legal framework
for elections, to the use of technology for election
administration, and to the conduct of election
campaigns. At the same time, elections overseas
continue to draw considerable attention as harbingers
of populist discontent, illiberal democracy, provokers
of conflict and instability, even as many elections
occur in environments where the electorate lacks
confidence in the legal framework and the election
administrators.
This course will address these issues by focusing
first on the evolution of election law in the United
States from the birth of the Republic through the 2018
mid-terms. The course will then shift to the
international setting, reviewing various international
instruments, the role of international observers and
examining several controversial elections that have
occurred during the past three decades. The closing
section of the course will focus on several
contemporary challenges, including the role of
technology and the rise of electoral populism. And
throughout the course, we will follow the legal
administrative issues that emerge in the context of
the unfolding 2020 elections in the United States and
what lessons the United States might learn from the
conduct of elections in other countries.
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 course focuses on an advanced topic of legal
writing, the writing done by judicial clerks and
judges. The course structure will incorporate (1)
lectures and short exercises, (2) multiple written
assignments (such as a bench memorandum and a judicial
opinion), and (3) occasional oral presentations or
questioning of advocates. We will examine and practice
the structure, analytical and rhetorical techniques,
and tone of both trial court and appellate court
documents. Through assigned readings and guest
speakers’ insights, we will discuss the experiences of
being a judicial clerk and being a judge, questions of
ethics and professional development, and “hot topic”
issues currently facing the judiciary. Although the
course has an obvious appeal to students who hope to
be judicial clerks, all students can improve their
writing abilities through this writing-intensive
course.
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.Fall 2020

Instructor(s): James
Course Books: View List of Books
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:
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 #: 82661
Course Prefix: LAW-653
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Magnuson
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.

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.

Instructor(s): Scharff
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Federal income tax touches virtually every aspect of
modern American life. For practicing lawyers, a basic
understanding of the structure and vocabulary of the
tax code is critical. In this course, an introduction
to federal income taxation, we will learn the basic
rules that govern the income tax system, with a
particular focus on individuals and unincorporated
businesses. Unlike courses that are based on common
law, this course will require students to study
statutory and administrative law extensively. As we
delve into the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code, we will also consider fundamental tax policy
questions along the way, asking not just what the law
is, but also, what it could be and, perhaps, should
be.

Course Description:
American Indian Nations own 27% of the land within
Arizona. This course provides a survey of the
political and legal relationship of Native Nations to
the United States government. The course provides a
historical examination of the treaties and other

government, and the various state governments. Thus,
particular attention is devoted to jurisdictional
issues, including the framework for determining civil
regulatory authority, and civil and criminal
adjudicatory authority in Indian Country. The course

Course Description:
Intellectual property/technology licensing is becoming
increasingly pervasive in virtually every industry
sector as companies increasingly license their own
intellectual property/technology to others or license-
in intellectual/property technology from third
parties. In this course, we will examine the issues
associated with various aspects of intellectual
property/technology licensing. We will examine key
aspects of patent, copyright (primarily software) and
trademark licenses. We will also explore beta test
arrangements, confidentiality/non-disclosure
agreements, and agreements that provide that a company
retains/obtains IP ownership in technology develops by
employees and third party developers. We will also
look at technology licensing issues associated with
industry-sponsored technology standards-setting
organizations/consortia and with technology transfer
arrangements used by universities/research institutes
to commercialize their inventions. The course will
have a strong focus on the review and discussion of
various license agreements with an emphasis on
developing practical drafting and negotiation skills
needed for licensing attorneys

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 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 Description:
This course surveys the vast number of state and
federal laws, and administrative regulations, that are
relevant to the workplace and conduct of business. The
course looks at both the interests of management and
the rights of workers, which rights and interests are
sometimes in conflict. As an introduction to the
subject, time is devoted to the considerable number of
U.S. Supreme Court cases that track the evolution of
the law. This evolution extends from the laissze-faire
philosophy in the early U.S. economy, to the advent of
workers’ rights and protections, through the halcyon
days of labor unions and then their decline, and
finally to the current legal issues in the new “gig”
economy. Students are asked to consider the
perspective of business management and its goals vs.
the perspective of workers and their goals, and how
the law searches for a compromise to resolve these
conflicts.

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:
The emergence of DNA testing over the past thirty years has
exposed the dark side of the American criminal justice system:
the conviction of numerous actually innocent men and women.
This course provides an opportunity to learn about the systemic
errors in the justice system that lead to wrongful convictions.
This is a seminar course that examines what happens after an
individual’s criminal conviction becomes “final,” that is,
after he or she has exhausted the appeals process. This class
approaches post-conviction law through the lens of actual cases
of wrongful conviction.

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.

Instructor(s): Winarski
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This is a skills-based intellectual property course
covering patent licensing and patent monetization
transactions. Patent licensing and monetization
represents the largest financial portion of the patent
economy. This practical course will focus on
negotiation skills, contract drafting skills,
presentation skills, and technical knowledge as used
in actual licensing and monetization negotiations as
well as integrating key subjects from patent law to
demonstrate real-world business transactions involving
patents. Students will conduct mock negotiations and
contract drafting for three separate patent
transactions: a mock patent sale, a mock licensing
engagement, and a mock patent portfolio transaction.
In particular for the mock licensing engagement,
students will be divided into teams representing
separate companies that each potentially infringe a
patent owned by the other company and: negotiate and
draft a Non-Disclosure/Standstill Agreement in order
to start a substantive licensing discussion, draft
claim charts showing infringement, develop a business
model for damages, conduct a technical presentation
showing their claim chart alleging infringement and
business case for licensing, conduct a rebuttal
presentation attacking the other team’s claim chart
for lack of infringement and invalidity of the patent
as well as rebutting damages, negotiate a term sheet
for a cross-licensing deal, and draft a cross-license.
Students will also receive lectures on core patent law
licensing and monetization issues, contractual patent
issues, portfolio transactions driving Mergers &
Acquisitions, patent consortiums, patent portfolio
market economics and other patent monetization
vehicles.

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Charlton
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.

Instructor(s): Reed
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Intellectual property is an area of law that has deep
attachments to our beliefs about human potential—
particularly what kinds of creativity and innovation merit
property rights and how those rights should be distributed
within society. In recent decades, IP has emerged as a key
space in which negotiations over social, political and
economic power take place. As with other critical studies
of law, studying the operation of intellectual property law
reveals how power functions within society, including how
inequalities and biases are reinforced as they become
incorporated into legal doctrines and dispute resolution
mechanisms. Specifically, a critical approach to IP law
uniquely shows us shows how the law values particular bodies
and their intellectual contributions as creative, inventive,
distinctive, or secret, while for others it may not. In
this course we will examine cases, legislative histories,
and fresh research from several areas of intellectual
property—copyright, patent, trademark, and privacy law—to
understand how these modes of owning and circulating
knowledge products are influenced by, and in turn influence,
social constructions of race. Viewing IP in this way allows
us to see it as a potentially rich site of engagement with
current and historical crises surrounding race, but also as
a site of productive possibility for remediating inequality
going forward.

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.

Course Description:
The successful lawyer will be presented with moral and

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.

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.
