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.
This course provides a one-on-one intense seminar on compelling issues. Presently, it is focused on a mock PTAB Appeal. The course seeks to build on the introductory experience gained in the Lisa Foundation Patent Clinic.

• The source of state administrative authority
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.

Do you have an interest in being an in-house lawyer? The knowledge and skills required to work as a corporate counsel are different than practicing at a law firm or in other opportunities. In this course, we’ll explore how to be an effective in-house counsel and provide practical advice to the company. Topics covered will include: the role of an in-house legal department in a company, corporate governance, managing outside counsel, partnering with other departments, advising on various areas of law, risk management, ethics, and in-house career paths. This course is relevant to students, whether or not they are considering in-house practice--lawyers in private practice often work with in-house counsel, and can be more effective if they have a good understanding of the challenges facing their in-house clients.
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 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

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 Fall 2021. 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 Wednesdays in Washington,
DC.
The DC venue will facilitate guest presentations by
several
of the U.S.’s top officials and leading practitioners
in
this arena. The course will be taught from 1:30 pm
until 4:20 pm on Wednesdays.
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

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.
Law and Democracy will examine the structure of democracy in the United States and also explore comparative approaches and reform proposals for strengthening democratic participation. Among the topics covered will be the right to vote, campaign finance regulation, redistricting, the Voting Rights Act, and the role of direct democracy. The course will also cover several important Supreme Court cases from recent terms on the issues of voter registration, the Voting Rights Act, and campaign finance.
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.

This class 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

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.
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.
This course examines the ways in which MLB served as a catalyst for change in American law and society, and the legal and business developments that have shaped modern professional baseball. We will address such diverse topics as the establishment of the position of Commissioner of Baseball and the powers associated with that position, integration of African-American players into MLB, globalization of the sport, labor relations, expansion, franchise relocation, the growth of the business of Major League Baseball and the state of the game in the 21st Century.
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.
This course examines all aspects of the negotiation process. Students will learn the principles and skills associated with interest-based negotiation by participating in a series of simulation exercises, both 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. Additionally, the class includes $50 in associated fees which cover payment for access to an on-line negotiation tool.
Grades are based 70% on the final 30% on in class
participation.
Students require no technical background for this
course. Students are encouraged, but not required to
take the patent law course or IP survey course prior
to taking this class.

"Plea Bargaining" is a hands-on, practical course designed to enrich students' understanding of how defenders and prosecutors negotiate guilty pleas in criminal cases. Because most criminal convictions are the result of plea bargaining, it is an essential skill for anyone looking to practice criminal law. We will explore guilty plea jurisprudence, client-centered representation, victims' rights, the ethics of plea bargaining, collateral consequences of guilty pleas, and best practices for working with clients and opposing counsel. We will also discuss negotiation theory in the context of criminal practice and simulate the pre-trial processes necessary to reach a plea agreement.

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.

This is a one credit class in the trial advocacy program. The course will address common litigation situations arising within the real estate industry. The course will be a combination of substantive real estate law, litigation scenarios and analysis, and practical litigation skills.
This course should be of interest to students
preparing for corporate practice or work with
financial regulatory bodies, but also to those
interested in the development of the modern regulatory
state, as exemplified by evolution of federal
securities laws under the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
This course covers intellectual property as it pertains to computer software and agreements pertaining to licensing of and usage of software. This practical course will focus on legal protection of software and how the legal protection for software may be used in the commercialization of software, principally by licensing. The course will include the various legal protections for software as well as the various ways in which such legal protections may be leveraged to license and otherwise commercialize software. Students will receive lectures on the various ways in which software may be legally protected as well as practical lectures on how software is licensed for various uses.
The United States is unusual in the degree of regulatory and fiscal authority it grants to state and local governments. Further, state constitutions differ from the federal constitution in the level of specificity with which they regulate policy decisions. This course explores both the structure of state and local governments and the ways in which federal and state constitutional law constrict policy choice at the state and local level. Specific topics include: the constitutional status of states and local governments; local government formation and boundary changes; disputes between state agencies; state-local relations and local home rule; and the role of special districts and regional governance. This course will give particular attention to the law of state and local finance, include taxation, borrowing, and public-purpose requirements. While this course will draw on examples from Arizona, it is not a course focused exclusively on Arizona law, but rather a survey of the field.

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.
Evidence is a Co or Pre Requisite for the course.

The focus of this course is not on morality versus
immorality, but on leadership, moral decision-making,
and action. The course is comprised of three modules:
(i) Moral Challenge, in which students explore
fundamental moral problems and the strategies used to
come to terms with them; (ii) Moral Reasoning, in
which students are introduced to methods and modes of
"moral reasoning" that help in justifying, or not
justifying, decisions made in complex situations; and
(iii) Moral Leadership, in which students confront
examples of moral leadership per se.
In 13 sessions each two hours long, with readings in a
multiplicity of settings ranging from ancient Greece
to contemporary America, students learn to identify
moral problems, to address them systematically, and to
develop skills that aid them in their professional and
personal lives.
Forty percent (40%) of the grade for the course is
based on class participation and sixty percent (60%)
on a paper, roughly 15 pages in length.
The 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 2021

Course Description:
Administrative agencies regulate the vast majority of
our lives from birth to death (and taxes). They
directly influence the food we eat, the water we
drink, the air we breathe, the land we live on, and
the money we spend. While a course called
“Administrative Agencies and Regulation” may not sound
intriguing to the casual observer, we will spend the
semester analyzing some of the most controversial
issues of our time.
We will begin with an accelerated introduction to
federal administrative agencies, the sources and
boundaries of their authority, and options for redress
for parties aggrieved by administrative actions. We
will also briefly examine state administrative
agencies in the same light.
We will apply the principals that we learn to in-depth
analysis of a few modern administrative law
controversies including, but not limited to the
Federal Communications Commission and net neutrality
and the controversies surrounding the Affordable Care
Act.
Throughout the course, we will apply the principals we
learn to analysis of current events. The primary
learning objective of the class is to provide you with
the tools to analyze administrative agencies and their
regulatory actions as they impact you in your life and
career. While many of the topics we will address are
politically charged, we will focus on a principled
analysis of each topic without embracing or advocating
a specific political or philosophical perspective.

Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Dormady
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Administrative agencies regulate the vast majority of
our lives from birth to death (and taxes). They
directly influence the food we eat, the water we
drink, the air we breathe, the land we live on, and
the money we spend. While a course called
“Administrative Agencies and Regulation” may not sound
intriguing to the casual observer, we will spend the
semester analyzing some of the most controversial
issues of our time.
We will begin with an accelerated introduction to
federal administrative agencies, the sources and
boundaries of their authority, and options for redress
for parties aggrieved by administrative actions. We
will also briefly examine state administrative
agencies in the same light.
We will apply the principals that we learn to in-depth
analysis of a few modern administrative law
controversies including, but not limited to the
Federal Communications Commission and net neutrality
and the controversies surrounding the Affordable Care
Act.
Throughout the course, we will apply the principals we
learn to analysis of current events. The primary
learning objective of the class is to provide you with
the tools to analyze administrative agencies and their
regulatory actions as they impact you in your life and
career. While many of the topics we will address are
politically charged, we will focus on a principled
analysis of each topic without embracing or advocating
a specific political or philosophical perspective.

Instructor(s): Gordon
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, all ostensibly to protect consumers. 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 health care, network technologies, the extensive use of intellectual property and generally the question of concentration by the likes of Amazon and Facebook. After an extended time of modest antitrust activity, one of the central questions faced by the new administration is the extent to which it will embrace “hipster antitrust” to these new challenges. This course will explore all these issues.

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 Prefix: LAW-654
Course Section: 002
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Gubler
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course examines the legal constraints that apply to business organizations with an emphasis on how the law addresses the problem of the separation of ownership from control in publicly held corporations. Alternatives to the corporate form, including partnership and the limited liability company, will also be addressed, although primarily as a comparative tool for achieving a more in- depth understanding of the corporation. Topics will include fiduciary law, shareholder voting, derivative suits, executive compensation and control transactions. These issues will be most relevant to those students who plan on representing business entities in transactions or litigation, however, it is difficult to overstate the importance of a general knowledge of these topics regardless of the area of law in which one plans to practice. Materials to be announced. No background in business, accounting or finance is required.

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.

SLN #: 82972
Course Prefix: SDO-598

Instructor(s): Aurit
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Being a professional family mediator is extraordinary.
At our best, we are as skilled as surgeons, and our
work can be just as critical. Our mindful techniques
and artistic strategies are employed with precision to
help families manage and resolve family conflict by
reaching agreements. The foundational structure of
mediation is grounded in our core values, guidelines,
and process boundaries.
Family mediators willingly enter and move to the
center of conflictual family systems with the goal of
helping them solve problems and find their best
possible agreements. We continuously consider ethical
issues as we work with spouses/parents on the front
lines of conflict. Our skills allow us to acknowledge
and work with the conflict rather than confronting or
resisting it.
Research conclusively shows that conflict between
parents during and after divorce causes long-term
emotional issues in children. The spouses themselves
also experience conflict-related trauma. Family
mediation is the most effective intervention to help
prevent, reduce and resolve conflict at the critical
juncture of divorce. The highest level of care is
required because there will almost always be some
continuing relationship between the spouses, parents,
and/or other family members. Divorce is personal, and
the stakes are at their highest.
If you are intrigued by mediation, you are going to
love this course. This is your opportunity to
understand mediation in a deeper way than you have
imagined. We will illuminate the elusive and essential
skills required to practice effective divorce and
family mediation. Go all-in with your efforts and take
risks!
You will learn about the very essence of the family
mediator, explore the structure of family mediation,
and effective qualities and attitudes. Essential
mediator techniques will be explained and you will
learn to use foundational and advanced mediator
strategies. This course will also address ethical
challenges and special circumstances in mediation.

SLN #: 90425
Course Prefix: SDO-551
Course Section: A1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Snider
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course examines the fundamental employee rights
and employer obligations established by federal law
and encompasses an examination of the National Labor
Relations Act; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration; Worker's
Compensation; the Family Medical Leave Act; the
Pregnancy Discrimination Act; the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act; and Alternative Dispute
Resolution.
Together we will examine laws and regulations put in
place establishing the legal framework of worker
rights and protections. As we move through the subject
matter, the ultimate goal will be to show the
practical implications of the subjects studied on the
modern workplace. In so doing, the topics will be
introduced through an overview provided for by the
textbook chapters accompanied by case studies which
will provide real world examples of conflicts which
can arise and how the courts/agencies have dealt with
the conflicts. Our discussions will center upon
recognition of how the conflicts arose, how the laws
are applied, and how with hindsight the parties may
have avoided the conflict or resolved it without
litigation.

Course Description:
This course examines the fundamental employee rights
and employer obligations established by federal law
and encompasses an examination of the National Labor
Relations Act; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration; Worker's
Compensation; the Family Medical Leave Act; the
Pregnancy Discrimination Act; the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act; and Alternative Dispute
Resolution.
Together we will examine laws and regulations put in
place establishing the legal framework of worker
rights and protections. As we move through the subject
matter, the ultimate goal will be to show the
practical implications of the subjects studied on the
modern workplace. In so doing, the topics will be
introduced through an overview provided for by the
textbook chapters accompanied by case studies which
will provide real world examples of conflicts which
can arise and how the courts/agencies have dealt with
the conflicts. Our discussions will center upon
recognition of how the conflicts arose, how the laws
are applied, and how with hindsight the parties may
have avoided the conflict or resolved it without
litigation.

Course Description:
Students will examine energy law in the United States,
with a focus on law and policy in an era of renewable
energy portfolio standards, energy efficiency mandates
and greenhouse gas emissions reductions regimes for
electric and natural gas utilities. Since energy
sustainability laws and regulatory policies are
largely imposed on and carried out by utilities, the
course will begin with an examination of the
fundamentals of utility regulation. Students will be
exposed to the traditional means of regulating energy
at the federal level, and will examine wholesale
energy markets as they have been implemented by
Regional Transmission Organizations, as well as
restricted energy markets in which states have engaged
in retail energy competition. Finally, the course will
address new and emerging trends in energy law,
including a discussion of transmission policies
promoting renewable energy development, federal and
state efforts on Demand Response and the Smart Grid,
and the regulation of greenhouse gasses, including
proposed federal climate change legislation and a
discussion of the EPA’s most recent rulemaking on
carbon, the Clean Power Plan.

Course Description:
The freedom to learn, as Du Bois wrote, “has been bought by bitter sacrifice” and must be perfected and preserved no less than our other prized civil rights. In this seminar, we will consider past and present school reforms aimed at securing equal citizenship and opportunity in the United States. We will study the law of educational equity and adequacy, integration and affirmative action, school discipline, multilingual education, and educational services for students with disabilities. In addition, we will examine the history of American Indian schools and of the common schools movement, and we will analyze more broadly the intersection of diverse educational reforms as well as the tension between universal, uniform schooling and individualized programs. We will approach these topics primarily through cases, statutes and constitutions, book excerpts, and academic journal articles. Evaluation and feedback will be based on class participation, short response papers, and a research paper.

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.

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:
Environmental Justice (EJ) “is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income, with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” Often environmental harms fall heavily on racial minorities, low-income, and indigenous communities. Globally, developing economies bear a large brunt of environmental harm and climate change occasioned by various factors. The course investigates the basis of unequal distribution of environmental goods and harms domestically and globally and why it matters. Using case studies and relevant law, this course takes a comparative look at the disparate impacts of fossil fuel exploration, government regulation, and corporate activity on different population segments, domestically and globally. This course also analyzes the various bases for these disparate impacts and looks for just and fair solutions grounded in law, policy, or practice. Students are expected to discuss current environmental justice initiatives and their efficacy in fixing domestic and global environmental justice issues. Students will make presentations and write a final paper on any current environmental justice issue.

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.

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:
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:
This course will give MLS students (and select LLM
students) ample opportunities to apply the legal
knowledge they’ve obtained in their time at the Sandra
Day O’Connor College of Law to a multitude of business
scenarios and situations. Furthermore, class
discussions will also cover effective and efficient
use of attorneys, both internal to a firm and at
external law firms.
Various substantive topics will be covered in this
survey course, with a focus on applying the basic
legal principles covered via court decisions and other
reading assignments. A basic understanding of “black
letter law” will be important, but this is not a
course that will ask MLS students to provide the same
level of nuanced legal analysis as would be asked of
law students. Instead, merging business acumen and
legal analysis will be valued above a depth of legal
understanding.

Course Description:
Negotiation is a critical leadership skill yet largely
counter-cultural to many of us. Understanding our
individual strengths and developing an intentional
negotiation strategy will enable each of us to achieve
more sustainable agreements in our work and life. This
course examines all aspects of the negotiation process
from preparation to writing up agreements. We will
explore how neuroscience is teaching us to understand
human reactions to risk of loss situations and
navigate them more successfully. Students will learn
negotiation principles, skills, and ethics by
participating in a series of simulation exercises and
through reading assignments.
This course is designed to offer a basic introduction
to the concepts, instruments, functions, and theories
of modern negotiation. The purpose of this
introduction is to give you some of the information
needed to better understand the dynamics of
interpersonal, business and legally related
negotiation. First, we will begin with a discussion of
negotiations as interpersonal communication. Second,
we will examine avoiding exploitation in mixed-motive
exchanges. Third, we will explore distributive
bargaining strengths and weaknesses. Fourth, we
examine the use of integrative bargaining techniques
and those settings in which they might be best used.
Finally, the landscape of legal jurisprudence will be
reviewed in order to apply appropriate ideologies and
techniques to the complex adaptive system of American
business and personal interaction “in the shadow of
the law.

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.

Instructor(s): Grey
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Products Liability refers to civil liability for injuries caused by defective products. It occupies a central role in American law, as the number of new products used by consumers has increased exponentially. Accompanying this proliferation of new consumer products is an increase in injuries. It has been estimated that the number of product accidents is approximately 50 million a year. Products liability is a major way that our society attempts to moderate undue risks. Products liability mixes tort law (negligence, strict liability and deceit) and contract law (warranty) as well as common law (mostly tort) and statutory law (from the UCC). This seminar will trace the development of products liability law, and analyze the major issues currently confronting the courts in this area. It will examine the main theories of manufacturer liability, the concept of product defect, and defenses available to the manufacturer. The seminar will also explore problems of proof and remedies, as well as proposed legislative solutions to problems that arise in these areas.

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

Course Description:
The successful lawyer will be presented with moral and
ethical choices throughout his professional career.
This innovative course is designed to encourage
students to confront those fundamental moral
challenges, to develop skills in moral analysis and
judgment, and to come to terms with their own
definition of moral leadership and how it can be
translated into action. The course is based on the
leadership course, The Moral Leader, brought by
Professor Robert Coles, an educator and psychiatrist,
to Harvard Business School in the 1980s. Since then it
has been taught to thousands of students at Harvard’s
schools of business, law, medicine, architecture,
politics, design, divinity and education. Drawing on
the inspiration of major literary and historical
figures such as Machiavelli, Truman, and Achebe, and
based upon an impressive array of literary sources,
including novels, plays, history, and biography, the
seminar-style setting of the course requires students
to be thoroughly prepared for each session, willing to
participate in rigorous analysis, continual dialogue,
and intensive discussion.

SLN #: 94481
Course Prefix: SDO-598
Course Section: A1101
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Spaan
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to introduce the
fundamental concepts and history of tribal self-
determination and self-governance. While the course
will cover several topics, the central theme will be
the relationship between tribal sovereignty, self-
determination, self-governance, and effective
administration of the Federal programs and services
that serve Tribal citizens. It provides a brief
overview of federal Indian policy eras and select
events that demonstrate how the powers of Tribal
Nations that self-governed for thousands of years
before the formation of the U.S. were eroded, altered,
and, in some instances, restored over time. It also
covers select federal programs that serve Tribal
Nations and their citizens as well as the basis for
these programs. Students will explore the origin,
scope, and implementation of the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act (often
referred to as “ISDEAA”). Students will also
understand how ISDEAA reshaped the government-to-
government relationship between tribal governments and
the United States and the evolving roles of tribal
governments and the federal government. Additional
topics covered include an overview of judicial
decisions and federal actions that shaped the
implementation of self-determination and self-
governance policy, how tribal governments have used
self-determination and self-governance to improve the
well-being of their citizens and communities, and
additional authorities available to tribal governments
that can increase tribal control and decision-making
authority.

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Women, Gender, and the Law is a guide to varied theoretical systems in order to analyze and understand the relationship between law and gender. Each system has its own assumptions about gender and about social change, as well as its own goals and strategies. Learning the different systems helps us think more thoroughly and systematically about gender issues and how the law has contended with sexual difference, gender-based stereotypes, and the meaning of equality. The course uses case law and readings in a wide variety of subject matter areas in order to develop the theoretical frameworks, including constitutional law, employment discrimination law, family law, criminal law, education law, reproductive rights, poverty law, and immigration. We will test the applicability of these frameworks in real-life situations, ranging from the military to the Affordable Care Act, rent control, sexual assault, single-sex schools, parenting, and law firm practice. Finally, the course complicates the study of gender by incorporating critical approaches such as queer theory, intersectionality analysis, and masculinities theory.

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.
