2021 Summer Intersession | 2021 Summer A | 2021 Summer C | 2021 Summer B
Attendance in this two-week intensive course is mandatory. Students are subject to sanctions, including withdrawal from the course with a failing grade, for any unexcused absence.
Enrollment is limited to JD Students.
This course provides students with the opportunity to learn the principles of effective contract drafting.
Emphasis will be placed on drafting agreements that effectuate clients’ needs and anticipate potential legal problems. Students will be required to draft a series of written contracts, and may also be required to perform research relating to the drafting of those contracts. This course will also introduce students to the role of the transactional lawyer, contract interpretation, and to the process of revising contracts drafted by counsel for the other party.
This course proceeds in three parts. First, we will examine the American philosophical traditions that argue for protecting certain public lands from further human development. Second, we will study the major federal “wilderness protection” statutes: the 1908 Antiquities Act, the 1916 National Park Service Organic Act, and the 1964 Wilderness Act. An important case study here will involve the ongoing litigation involving the designation (and reduction in area) of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. Finally, we will examine the critiques and limitations of the American wilderness tradition and proposals to reorient wilderness protection to a focus on biological diversity.
This course will build on the skills developed in your first year of legal writing. It will examine the writing process from the beginning of the litigation process through post-trial matters. Students will be required to draft documents such as office memoranda, client letters, pleadings, discovery materials, motion briefs, and settlement agreements.
This course describes how the laws governing business organizations impact the work of all lawyers. A basic understanding of the organization and management of business enterprises, and the law of agency, partnership, limited liability companies, corporations, and securities, is routinely needed across a diverse range of legal specializations.
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.
Class will consist of each student meeting individually with the professor for a half-hour conference. Conferences take place at the same time every day being scheduled between 9am and noon Monday through Friday. A handful of mandatory group sessions will be held during that same time period.
This five-credit course is designed to provide intensive training in legal research and writing. Students are expected to have a solid foundation in basic legal research and writing, and this course should further those skills. By the end of the course, students are expected to have a working knowledge of the major research sources: reporters, digests, annotated statutes, citators, and secondary authorities. Students are expected to master two basic writing formats: the office memo and the client letter. Significant time will also be spent writing motions, and students will be exposed to additional documents types as well. Students will be required to rewrite all assignments and will complete a total of approximately thirty assignments during the course. Students will receive extensive individualized feedback on each assignment, and all projects, including both original assignments and rewrites, will be graded. Students are expected to spend an average of eight to ten hours per day on class assignments.
***NOTE: Once enrolled, students are not permitted to withdraw from the course without permission from the instructor. Withdrawal without approval will result in a failing grade for the course.
Class is limited to ASU JD degree candidates. Students are prohibited from working or taking any other courses during the session they are enrolled in Intensive Legal Research and Writing.
This course examines all aspects of the negotiation
process. Students will learn the principles and skills
associated with both competitive and interest-based
negotiation by participating in a series of simulation
exercises inside and outside of class. The simulations
involve negotiations in a wide variety of actions and
will require substantial out-of-class preparation. The
reading materials for the course include both theoretical
literature and practice focused articles, and the class
culminates in an extensive out-of-class negotiation
simulation.
Enrollment in all clinics is determined through an
application process.
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
POLICIES.
Please see Veronica Chacon or Carolyn Landry in
Room 401 if you have any questions about the
Externship Program.
There will be two mandatory in-person classes, for first time externs only and the second for
all externship students.

This course will focus on a rigorous review of the basic print and electronic resources and strategies for conducting legal research, federal and state. Case law, statutes and legislative history, administrative rules and procedures and finding tools will all be covered. This course is labor intensive. The best way to learn to conduct effective legal research is to use the full range of tools available and then practice, practice, practice!
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.
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. Summer Intersession 2021

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.
