The Preamble of the United States Constitution states, “We
the People of the United States, in Order to form a more
perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic
Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to
ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this
Constitution for the United States of America.”
This seminar examines the historical and contemporary role
of law in achieving the goals outlined in the Preamble of
the United States Constitution. It will focus on
membership
and belonging as an aspect of forming a more perfect
union.
Students will explore legal rules governing membership in
American society, how access to material and non-material
resources is shaped by conceptions of membership and
belonging, and how conceptions of membership and belonging
have changed over time. Topics to be explored will include
access to U.S. citizenship status, healthcare, education,
and housing.
Grades will be based on class participation, leading a
class
discussion, a paper, and a paper presentation.
This course provides the opportunity to work closely
with Mr. Lisa and the Barrow Neurological Institute
("BNI") to pursue and improve the intellectual property
rights for BNI’s innovations. The course seeks to build
on the introductory experience gained in the Lisa
Foundation Patent Clinic.
There is no prerequisite for this seminar; however, a
secured transactions or bankruptcy course is highly
recommended.
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 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.
In Bioethics and the Law, we will take up a wide range of cutting-edge topics including genetics, human research regulation, human enhancement, right-to-try therapies, reproductive technologies, organ transplants, death & dying, distributive justice/healthcare reform and related implications from various perspectives.
Readings for Class: Available a week in advance. No textbook required.
Evaluation: 1) 90% in-class or take-home 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.

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 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.
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 9, 2021. 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 April
9 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.

Federalism provides the legal and cultural frameworks
for these debates. This class will explore
federalism’s foundations, its law, and its application
to contemporary problems and politics. We will examine
the interplay between the structure of federalism and
individual rights. And we will assess federalism’s
evolving—but also foundational—role in debates over
race and inequality.
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.
This course is co-taught by a practicing attorney
whose practice focuses on early stage and emerging

A Take-Home exam will be administered the week of February 22.
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.
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 as a result of judicial
determinations or Executive Branch policy following the
recent national elections. As part of the examination of the
health insurance markets, the health insurer response to the
COVID-19 pandemic will be reviewed.
The use of private insurers to provide coverage to Medicare
beneficiaries, including the Medicare Advantage Part C and
Medicare Part D Programs will be analyzed. In addition, the
course will assess managed care plans engaged by State
Medicaid Programs. This will include Arizona’s longstanding
managed Medicaid Program known as “AHCCCS.”
The impact of prescription drug prices on health insurance
premiums will be addressed. This includes efforts by health
insurers to manage these costs, as well as state and federal
law initiatives that attempt to control prescription drug
prices.
Evolving changes in provider payment systems utilized by
health insurers will be identified along with the dramatic
shift away from the traditional fee-for-service model to
payment innovations focused on quality outcomes and cost
efficiencies. How will these 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 issue
of financial engagement and the challenge of underinsurance,
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.

An innovative new course on U.S. regulation of International
Business Transactions (IBT) -- featuring leading U.S.
government officials and experts -- has been specially
opened to all JD and LLM students for Spring 2020. This
course will be of particular interest to students who want
to learn about, and potentially work on, how the U.S. can
and does use law to promote environmental, human rights,
health, national security, foreign policy, cyber security,
intellectual property, and other policy objectives in
foreign countries.
The U.S. government's newly aggressive regulation of
international business transactions, for these and other
policy reasons, has made this a field in which U.S. and
foreign companies are hiring tens of thousands of attorneys
and other risk and compliance management professionals. The
U.S. government is also hiring in this field.
As part of enforcing these new laws, the U.S. government has
imposed billions of dollars in fines on U.S. and foreign
companies. Such companies are vastly increasing their
hiring of attorneys in this arena both to avoid further
penalties and under pressure from various non-governmental
advocates in the growing corporate social responsibility
movement.
The course will be taught by Professor Orde Kittrie, an
expert on these topics, on Thursdays from Washington, DC.
The DC venue will facilitate guest presentations by several
of the U.S.’s top officials and leading practitioners in
this arena, including persons who have led these issues for
the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Justice, State, and
Treasury. The course will be taught from noon until 2:55 pm
Arizona time (2 pm until 4:55 pm DC time) on Thursdays.
The course will address U.S. laws on specific issues
including the following:
The course will also address more broadly and conceptually
the power of U.S. regulators, the incentive to overseas
producers of access to the vast U.S. market, and the work of
the corporate social responsibility movement, to promote
desired changes around the world.
Professor Kittrie would be delighted to answer any questions
you might have about this exciting new course. He can be
reached at orde.kittrie@asu.edu.
Accordingly, the College will normally recognize a
maximum of 12 credit hours for law school externship
work in partial fulfillment of the J.D. degree under
the guidelines set forth in the STATEMENT OF STUDENT

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.
Over the course of the semester, the students will be exposed to constitutional and legal constructions of the courts in the United States and Arizona, including the function of courts and judges. Students will also participate in legal analysis exercises, draft a legal memorandum and make oral arguments.
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).

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.
Appellate work at the United States Patent and Trademark Office is a vital part of patent prosecution. Appeals at the USPTO are decided by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. This course provides an experiential course where students are given an actual patent application from Hewlett Packard, a fortune 500 company with headquarters in Silicon Valley, that stands rejected on a final rejection. Students take that patent application and develop a strategy for advancing the case along with writing a Pre-Appeal Brief, an Appeal Brief, draft an Answer from the USPTO Examiner, and perform a simulated Oral Argument in a mock-trial setting. In addition to receiving feedback from the Professor on each assignment, students receive the actual documents that HP submitted in the case during the appellate process for review. The goal of the course is to give students a practical working knowledge of the USPTO Appeals process while prosecuting patents. Patent Law is a prerequisite for this course. This course is a great way to learn persuasive patent advocacy skills for patent prosecution that are applicable to patent litigation as well.
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.

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.
Sports can involve a jog around campus or big business. Sports are interesting, important and a vivid context to learn about consumers, organizations, diverse stakeholders, media and entertainment, partnerships and sponsorship, highly competitive strategies in finance and marketing, managing community venues, big events, and other relevant business topics. In our sports business coursework, we will maintain a pragmatic, experiential, yet well-grounded focus, studying the role, nature and dynamics of sports business both in and around "sports industries" and in and around "conventional businesses." We will build and "test" knowledge and exercise skills related to sports business analysis, decision making , communication and both strategy development and execution. The course will be intellectually rigorous, yet fun.
The course will survey individual rights protected by the United States Constitution. Specific areas will include rights protected by the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment. No Laptops are Permitted.

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.

addresses the problem of the separation of ownership from
control in publicly held corporations. Alternatives to

depth understanding of the corporation. Topics will
include fiduciary law, shareholder voting, derivative
suits, executive compensation and control transactions.

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

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

Instructor(s): Miller
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This class focuses on a wide range of tribal and
individual Indian economic development issues. Relevant
federal cases, statutes, regulations, and case studies
will be used. The primary purpose of the class is to
describe and analyze the political, legal, economic,
structural, and cultural issues faced by tribal
governments and reservation communities when they develop
their economies. Additional emphasis will be placed on
how tribal initiatives may conflict with federal case
law, state jurisdiction, and federal policies directed at
tribal economic development. The focus will be on helping
students identify and implement creative tribal-based
solutions. Although relevant legal principles will be
explained when necessary, having taken a course in
Federal Indian law will be helpful. This is an
experiential learning experience class. Students will be
teamed with another student to negotiate a business
arrangement between a tribe and a non-Indian
businessperson, a contract to effectuate that agreement,
form a corporation under a tribal code, and then write a
confidential letter to their clients explaining the
agreement and whether the client should sign the
contract. No exams will be given and no papers can be
written for this class.

Course Description:
The advent of eDiscovery has had an extraordinary impact on American jurisprudence. The unbridled proliferation of e-mail and other forms of electronically stored information (“ESI”) has proved daunting to litigants, counsel and the courts. ESI has eclipsed other forms of evidence and has required a radical change in how disputes are litigated and resolved. Recent eDiscovery amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the rules of many states, including Arizona, are a testament to the judiciary’s recognition of the growing importance of eDiscovery in our judicial system. This course will address the rapidly developing eDiscovery case law and tackle the challenging issues arising from the emerging eDiscovery phenomenon. Subject areas covered will include a survey of relevant information technology, ESI preservation obligations, search and retrieval, ESI production methods, spoliation and sanctions, attorney-client privilege and ethical issues, and admissibility of digital evidence.

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:
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.

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.

Instructor(s): Michaels
Course Books: View List of Books
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 in the U.S. is
to occur under the current health care financing system. The
course captures the very dynamic changes occurring in this
area of health law.

Instructor(s):
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.

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

SLN #: 14480

Course Section: 027
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.

Course Description:
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 a semester
apply what they are learning to the investigation,
pleading, discovering, negotiating and ultimately
presenting a hypothetical medical malpractice case.

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 Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Advances in the rapidly developing field of neuroscience
have allowed scientists to develop new techniques in
investigating the brain activity that underlies cognitive
phenomena. We will look at ways in which these advances
challenge the law both directly (such as changing the
common law definition of death from the cardio-pulmonary
standard to brain death) and indirectly (such as changing
our views on mental retardation and criminal culpability.)
Thus, we will examine how the various emerging
neuroscientific findings and technologies could or should
affect such topics as moral reasoning, criminal
culpability, lie detection, bias detection, cognitive
enhancement, and punishment. The first part of the course
will explore the neurological definition of personhood, as
well as the implications of monitoring and predicting
human behavior. The second part of the course will focus
on efforts to manipulate or modify the brain. We will also
explore some of the challenging questions raised by the
increasing use of brain scans as evidence in the
courtroom.

SLN #: 24281

Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Hodge Jr.
Course Books: View List of Books
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 examine issues of race within
American law through a historical and modern context.
We will discuss how race and ethnicity affect
legislatures, court rooms and communities. We will

to reduce and eliminate racial injustice in the United
States from the formulation of the Declaration of
Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the
Constitution, through slavery, Jim Crow, segregation,
desegregation, the war and drugs, and up through the
present day. We will explore the biases and prejudices
shared by judges, juries, parties, clients and
lawyers, as well as our own biases and how those shape
the way we view the law. The course will include a
group presentation, an individual paper and an
individual presentation. There is no final exam.
• How did slavery impact our legal history?
• What are the leading cases and laws that
impacted the construction of race in the United

impacted Asian Americans, African Americans, Native
Americans and Latinos?
• What were the leading cases that dismantled
legalized segregation in public schools?
• Why are there still more than 100 school
desegregation cases pending today?
• Does race still play a role in legislatures
and courtrooms today?
• Does race still play a role in the hiring,
retention and promotion of attorneys today?

Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Claus
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
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).
The three methodologies for valuing interests in real
property (cost analysis, sales comparison analysis,
and income analysis) will each be explored. 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.
No prior accounting or mathematics training is
required.

Course Description:
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:
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.

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

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.

Instructor(s):
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.
