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.
This 2-credit course builds on the skills obtained
during the first-year Legal Method and Writing program
while introducing students to the conventions and
strategies of appellate advocacy. Students are tasked
both with drafting an appellate brief and with
executing a supporting oral argument. The course
focuses on the structure of cogent written legal
analysis, the techniques of advanced persuasion, and
the strategies of effective oral advocacy.
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.
This seminar explores ways that the law has defined the experiences of Asian Americans in the United States. It will focus on topics such as race and identity formation, race and hierarchy, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the relationship between law and the immigrant experience, and violence and policing. Participating students will earn one credit that will be awarded Pass/Fail. The seminar is designed to give students the opportunity to discuss the assigned material in depth, in an informal setting, with the faculty members.
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 short papers 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.
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.
The final exam will be a take-home exam administered through ExamSoft.
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.

Class will meet Monday, March 7 through Friday, March 11.
Federal Indian Law I is a pre-requisite for this class.
The class is limited to 20 students - if there is more
student demand, students seeking the Indian Law certificate
will receive preference.
Ho-Chunk, Inc. (HCI) is the award-winning economic
development corporation owned by the Winnebago Tribe of
Nebraska. Established in 1994 in Winnebago, Nebraska with
one employee, HCI has grown to over 1,100 employees with
operations in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota,
Kansas, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Washington,
D.C., Afghanistan, Mexico and Iraq. HCI operates 18
subsidiaries in a diverse range of industries including
information technology, construction, government
contracting, professional services, wholesale distribution,
office products and technology, logistics, marketing, media
and retail.
The class is designed to train students to implement
practical political, legal and economic solutions to help
Tribe's implement a broad range of economic development
activities. It is offered by Lance Morgan, who has combined
his legal and business expertise to develop one of the most
successful native owned corporations in the country, Ho-
Chunk, Inc. Historically Federal Indian Law has had a
negative effect on tribal economic development by limiting
the tribes in a number of ways. The seminar will focus the
economic impediments create by Federal Indian Law. The class
seminar will not just describe the problem but give real
examples of how tribes have actually overcome such legal
impediments to create successful businesses and bypass some
of the legal restrictions. Additionally, the seminar will
also focus on having the students understand Federal Indian
Law is restrictive in nature and that if they are going to
be successful lawyers that they will have to use Federal
Indian Law as a starting point, not an endpoint.
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.
In addition, the course will touch on the legal aspects of codes of conduct, shareholder advocacy, sustainability, product material compliance, supply chain management, and labor rights. The course will also provide an understanding of the type of guidance and support companies are needing from compliance professionals and the trends and challenges facing those personnel. This is an area of business with a growing number of career paths and job opportunities.
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.
Decedent's Estates is a pre-requisite for this
class
This class is intended as an overview to expose
students to various aspects of a probate and trust
practice and to provide students with the opportunity
to experience practical applications in such a
practice. Students will a) identify and understand
options for administration of decedents’ assets, b)
open a probate proceeding (with and without a Will),
c) familiarize themselves with basic Trust provisions
and prepare initial notice requirements for
administration of Trusts, and d) identify, understand
and negotiate resolution of common issues in probate
and trust litigation. Students will utilize mock fact
patterns to identify issues and develop case
strategies. Students will use and rely on the Arizona
Probate Code Practice Manual, the Arizona Probate Code
(Title 14 of Arizona Revised Statutes) and the Arizona
Probate Rules to analyze strategies and prepare
pleadings.
If you intend to be a probate practitioner, you may
(but are not required to) purchase the Arizona Probate
Code Practice Manual from the Arizona State Bar. There
should be a $50 discount for students. Otherwise, you
may access and download a CD of the forms in the
Probate Manual from the Law Library.
This a one-credit workshop/class delivered in seven two-
hour sessions. It is designed for law students who
already write “clearly, cogently, and comprehensively,”
but think there should be more than those three “C’s.
There is. I call it creative writing for lawyers. The
secret is something lawyers did not learn in law school.
We learned it by practicing law. And we learned it first
from clients, who demanded more from us than just
clarity, cogency, and comprehensive content. Unlike the
legal world, the literary world has always demanded
systematic focus, a conscious writing style, and an
understanding of the patterns that exist in one variation
or another (drumroll here). The secret is effective
storytelling. The course syllabus is not a story, and
just barely qualifies as something the three Cs would be
proud of. The syllabus hints at, suggests, and implies
what my course is designed to do. It's designed to whet
your appetite. If writing for story tastes good to you,
then you will use the techniques that fiction writers use
in telling their stories. But you will always be bound by
the truth; in legal briefs, letters to clients, and in
legal opinions. Truth is the law's glue.
This class is a crossover from merely conveying the legal
issue to telling the legal story underlying the issue.
That’s how Louis Achinloss, Earle Stanly Gardner, John
Grisham, John Mortimor, Richard North Patterson, and
Scott Turrow did it. All were excellent lawyers before
they became best-seller novelists. First, they wrote the
law, then they crossed over and wrote fiction. They
drafted legal papers the same way they later drafted
manuscripts—by using story as the spine of whatever they
wrote. They wrote differently from appellate judges whose
opinions will control much of your life as a lawyer. And
differently from how clients, trial judges, and opposing
lawyers expect you to write. If you write for story, in
addition the three Cs, you will make judges happy,
clients smile, and astound your colleagues.
Perhaps I’m a one-man band, but I think clients and
judges deserve more from us than we give them in our
writing. Some lawyers practice law in much the same way
musicians tune pianos, or cosmeticians apply makeup. They
do it competently, but without understanding the value of
drama, or the power of dramatic skills. Think about
Truman Capote and his gift to the legal world; not to
mention his impact on the literary world. He recognized
the public’s growing interest in nonfiction, but objected
to that genre’s traditionally dry style. Did he have
lawyers in mind when he thought about “dry style”? He
posed a groundbreaking question in the 1960’s—what would
happen if a true story were told in the form of a novel?
His 1965 novel (“In Cold Blood”) is a meticulously
researched, factual account of the rampage, and ultimate
execution of two sociopathic murderers. He melded the
accuracy of nonfiction with the dramatic force of
fiction. You won’t master any of the vital skills of
using storytelling as the spine of legal writing in this
class. It’s only seven two-hour workshops. But you’ll
extend your legal-literary reach. That will inch you into
a new generation of lawyers, some of whom took this
class. They now write on the foggy frontier between legal
writing and creative nonfiction writing. It might
rejuvenate you.
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.
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.
Course Structure/Approach
Grading/Assessment
The focus of the course will be on U.S. federal
government agencies, with some comparisons drawn to
state institutions. The class will
consider the creation and structure of agencies,
agency adjudication and rulemaking, as well as how
agencies make policy and engage in regulatory
enforcement. In addition, the class will consider the
various controls on government agency action, including
judicial
review and other limits on agency discretion. Guest
speakers from the public and private sector will be
invited to meet with the class to describe their
experiences.
Case studies, some from the textbook, others from
newsworthy events, will help students focus on the
role of the lawyer in government agency decision-
making and relations with other stakeholders.
A final
paper (of approximately 20 pages in length) and
various in-class exercises associated with the case
studies will be required. The final grade will consist
of the following components: 1) final paper - 75%, 2)
class participation – 25% (to include in-class
exercises).
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 Trevi Grant 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 how to practice family law in the Arizona trial courts from the perspective of current trial court judges. Topics covered include client intake, drafting pleadings and motions, conducting limited discovery, and representing clients at evidentiary hearings. The course concludes with the students participating in a mock family trial.
This is a hands-on class intended to get students on their feet. Attendance and class participation is required.

The Fourteenth Amendment is at the core of many of our most important and difficult problems: segregation, race discrimination, women’s rights, marriage equality, gender identity, abortion, the right to privacy, the right to vote, and others. The Amendment, and the rights it confers, has shaped the history of the United States. In this class, we will study the law of the Fourteenth Amendment with an emphasis on equal protection, due process, and enforcement. We will also study the complicated ways in which the Amendment has interacted with social movements, federalism, and states’ rights.
The fellowship is open to one student per year
following the second year of law school.

A Take-Home exam will be administered the week of
February 21.
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 required reading materials will reflect the very dynamic changes occurring in this area of health law. As a result, there is no case book as relevant cases and related heath policy materials will be posted by the professor sufficiently in advance of the scheduled class and as changes in circumstances require. Students will be required to actively participate in class discussions, including assigned opportunities to advocate for various health policy positions as part of an overall class assessment of health law developments.
The course will analyze the commercial health insurance markets with a particular focus on the impact of the Affordable Care Act as well as the effect that ERISA has on health insurance reform. A comparison of state vs. federal law initiatives in the health insurance area will be a focus of the course. As part of this review, the Federal No Surprises Act and its implementing regulations will be addressed.
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 how State Medicaid Programs contract with managed care plans to provide coverage to Medicaid recipients. 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. The potential for health care fraud and False Claims Act violations will be analyzed in the context of a federal managed care payment environment.
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 information consumers need to have about provider networks, health care costs, and quality outcomes to ensure the competitiveness of the health insurance marketplace. As part of this process, we will examine federal law and regulations governing hospital and health plan price transparency in order to assess how such information will likely benefit consumers in the health insurance marketplace.

Intellectual property is an area of law that has deep attachments to our beliefs about human potential—particularly, what kinds of creativity and innovation merit property rights and how those rights should be distributed within society. In recent decades, IP has emerged as a key space in which negotiations over social, political, and economic power take place. Studying the operation of intellectual property law in its social context reveals how power flows within society. It can show us, for example, how the law values particular bodies and their intellectual contributions as creative, inventive, distinctive, or secret, while for others it may not. In this course we will examine cases, legislative histories, and fresh research from several areas of intellectual property law—copyright, patent, trademark, and privacy law—to understand how these modes of owning and circulating creativity and innovation are influenced by, and in turn influence, social constructions of race, gender, sexuality, nationality, and political identity. Viewing IP in this way allows us to see it as a critical site of engagement during historical moments of social transformation, but also as a site of productive possibility for remediating injustices and inequalities going forward.

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 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.
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.
In each topic area, students will learn the relevant U.S. and international legal frameworks, and any relevant foreign legal frameworks. Students will also examine case studies that illustrate how governments have responded to the security threats in question within that topic area. Students will analyze whether such responses were lawful, and whether any changes to the law may be necessary. For a number of topics, the course will include guest lectures from practitioners to inform how lawyers are dealing with contemporary issues in their practice. Evaluations will be based on response papers, a final paper, and class participation
One of the key distinctions between national security issues and traditional criminal law is that national security is about collecting intelligence and using it to disrupt improper foreign activities before they occur as opposed to apprehending and convicting people after a crime occurs. This raises significant civil rights, due process and privacy issues which we will also explore.
We will also examine the distribution of power between the branches of government regarding national security. What is the President’s proper role and what role should Congress and the Court’s play? We will also look at how protecting our security may impact our relations with other countries and groups. How does immigration policy fit into all of this?
Course Expectations
Your grade in this course will be a function of both class participation and a final paper. There are weekly reading assignments which will be in the syllabus.
There are no quizzes or exams. There is, however, a final paper. I will ask you to both define what you believe to the most critical national security concern facing the Country and what the legal challenges in addressing that concern are. The paper should be fifteen pages long. The paper is due by the last day of exams.
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.
This online course reviews the most common areas of substantive law covered on the bar exam to prepare students for success during both bar preparation and the bar exam. The course will use an online test preparation platform, and students are required to complete all assignments in order to receive credit.

This course addresses the procedures and requirements for
effecting the foreclosure of real estate in Arizona.
Students will learn the entire process, from commencement
to completion pursuant to the judicial, non-judicial and
forfeiture statutory guidelines. Jurisdictional
requirements, potential defenses, additional statutory
and non-statutory remedies and appeal rights are among
the subjects to be covered.
This course introduces students to the main types of
financing transactions prevalent today, as well as issues
that arise with respect to attachment, perfection, and
priority of security interests in personal property under
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Understanding
secured transactions is essential for attorneys who
engage in a commercial law practice, as well as those who
represent parties who sell or finance property or who
expect to engage in commercial litigation, consumer law,
or business transactional planning. No prior business
experience is necessary to take this course.
The final exam will be a take-home exam administered through ExamSoft.
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 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 goal of this course, available only to students in the 3L Bar Program, is to provide additional resources to transition students from law school to law practice.

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.

The main topics are recall of elected public officials, Arizona's system of direct democracy, in which the people, rather than the elected Legislature, exercise ultimate legislative authority through the enactment of ballot initiatives and referenda, and Arizona individual constitutional rights that are different from, and/or broader than, rights protected by the U.S. Constitution. Whenever possible, class discussion will focus on recent and ongoing cases, issues and controversies.

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.

Course Description:
If certain requirements are satisfied, Federal Civil
Procedure Rule 23 permits aggregate litigation in the
form of a class action. This popular procedural device
has been used in various substantive areas – e.g.,
antitrust, civil rights, consumer protection, employment,
mass torts and securities – to resolve legal claims en
masse. This course will focus on the procedural aspects
of class action law, making the course content relevant
to all types of class actions, without regard to the
substantive nature of the claims. We will examine the
requirements for class certification, the manner in which
the class certification decision is made, the procedural
protections required for class litigation, as well as
various constitutional and other issues impacting the
conclusive reach of litigated or settled class actions.
The course is recommended for students with an interest
in litigation and for those with an academic interest in
this often hyped, and sometimes maligned, form of claim
resolution.

Course Description:
Modern legal practice is dominated by statutes and their interpretation by agencies and courts, and lawyers are increasingly expected to have facility with a wide range of legal documents beyond judicial opinions. This course explores Congress, the lawmaking process, and the judicial interpretation of statutes. We will explore two central topics: (1) The legislative process, including bill drafting and the various ways that bills progress through Congress, and (2) Statutory interpretation, including theories and canons of statutory interpretation and the debates over the use of legislative history. Note that while the role of administrative agencies in interpreting and enforcing statutes will be introduced and considered, the course is not designed to serve as a substitute for Administrative Law.

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): Bender
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This is an advanced course that addresses current important issues in U.S. Constitutional law. The topics each year depend on the issues that are prominent at the time the course is given. For the Spring, 2022 semester, the topics will include important cases that the U.S. Supreme Court has just decided or will decide during its 2021-2022 Term, such as the Court’s refusal to prevent the implementation of a Texas statute that prohibits abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, the case in which the Court will decide whether Roe v. Wade should be overruled or modified, and a Second Amendment challenge to New York’s prohibition on the carriage of concealed weapons. The topics will also include important issues that have not yet reached the Supreme Court, such as the constitutionality of the recent upsurge of state legislation affecting voting rights. There will also be discussion of general issues such as the extent to which President Trump’s three appointments to the Supreme Court have affected or will affect the development of constitutional law, whether there are good reasons to change the life-tenure system or the size of the Supreme Court, and whether the Court has improperly been using a “shadow docket” to resolve important constitutional questions.

SLN #: 36405
Course Prefix: LAW-653
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Lightner
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.

Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Jackson
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Dispute Systems Design is the process of identifying,
designing, employing, and evaluating an effective method
by which your organization can resolve internal
conflicts. In a professional setting, conflict is
inevitable. Work is a place where individuals with
different life experiences, values, needs, interests, and
intentions find themselves as part of a team, utilizing
diverse skill sets to work toward a common goal - the
success of the business. Add to that the fact that most
professionals believe that work is not only necessary for
their survival and economic wellbeing, but also the
center of one’s identity and purpose, and the potential
for conflict multiplies exponentially. Each workplace is
unique, but the fact that disputes arise is consistent.
This class will teach students a brief history of dispute
resolution models, and then show how, by using a
foundation of mindfulness toward your businesses
employees/stakeholders, you can revise an existing
dispute resolution system or design one from scratch
utilizing an analytic framework in dispute design.

Notification Act; the Equal Pay Act; the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration; Worker's Compensation;
the Family Medical Leave Act; the Pregnancy

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 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.

SLN #: 11319

Instructor(s): Baier
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Evidence covers the basic rules that govern the
admissibility of evidence in civil and criminal trial
proceedings. The primary focus is on how the Federal
Rules of Evidence operate in practice, with some
attention to areas in which the Arizona Rules of Evidence
differ from the Federal Rules. The course is primarily
taught by the problem method, with a focus on the
practical application of the rules in a trial setting.
This is a complex and difficult subject, but one that
most practicing lawyers -- including non- litigators - -
need to know; and it would be an especially tough subject
to try to learn from scratch from a bar review course.
Students should make every effort to take Evidence before
taking Trial Advocacy or clinical courses.

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 taught by
the problem method, with occasional simulations designed
to illustrate how litigators deal with witness testimony
and other forms of evidence at trial. 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.

Course Description:
How does the law define the family? How should it? This
course studies the legal regulation of intimate
relationships between adults and the rights and duties
that flow between parents and children. Topics include
marriage and its consequences (i.e. who can get married,
how one enters and exits marriage, and property and
support obligations), the regulation of nonmarital

first place, custody, and child support). We will study
how the U.S. Constitution addresses these issues and how
the states fill in the gaps through their various
statutes and court-created doctrines. The course
contextualizes an ever-changing and critical area of the
law.

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

Course Description:
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.

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.

constitutional rights to parent. Issues arising out of
the dependency system including permanent guardianships,
adoptions, the overlap with family court and the Indian

Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Saks
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.

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.

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 Description:
This is a course on national security law. Our current concepts of national security grew out post-World War II concerns about fighting communism and winning the Cold War. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, 9/11, the uncontrolled expansion and incursion of the internet, the growing threats of White Nationalists and climate disruption, perhaps the time has come to rethink what national security means, what we need to protect and at what cost. and how we protect us and the interests we hold dear. While national security law can cover a wide range of subjects, we will focus on the legal issues that arise in protecting the United States from undue and improper foreign interference. These may range from traditional notions of invasion by foreign countries to disrupting elections to terrorist activities by non-nation states to cyber-attacks from unknown sources.

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.

SLN #: 22388
Course Prefix: LAW-651
Course Section: 1001
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.

Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Claus;Cloar;Patel
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:
State and local governments in the United States owe between $4 and $7 trillion (yes, trillion!) to investors, creditors, and pensioners. But what happens when those governments do not have the ability to pay? Which creditors get short changed, and which creditors get repaid? This course will explore the history and the current market for state and municipal debt, and it will explore the legal structures (or lack of structures!) governing the failure of states, municipalities and other public entities to repay their obligations. We will explore Detroit, Puerto Rico, New York City in the 1970s, Illinois, New Jersey, Arizona, and many more. In doing so, this course will examine the U.S. constitution (including the Contract Clause, Takings Clause, the Eleventh Amendment, and the Bankruptcy Clause), certain state constitutions, and portions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the exploration of this exciting and uncharted territory.

Instructor(s): Buser
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The purpose of this course is to develop and learn to
apply analytical skills that are useful in nearly every
career. Although the course focuses on applications in
the sports context and uses approaches that are rapidly
becoming important in the business of sports analytics,
this is not a survey course about issues in sports.
Instead, this class is about storytelling and logic. An
understanding and interest in both sports and numbers
will make this class good. General curiosity will make it
great.
Lectures and readings in the course will not provide
students with complete answers to the myriad of
interesting questions we will consider. Hopefully,
students will receive well-reasoned analyses that further
their understanding and assist them in knowing how, not
what, to think.
Students may leave the course with more questions than
answers about issues both on and off the field in sports,
but they should have a better understanding of how to
think productively about these issues and have the skills
to better address these questions.

will make this class good. General curiosity will make it
great.
Lectures and readings in the course will not provide
students with complete answers to the myriad of
interesting questions we will consider. Hopefully,
students will receive well-reasoned analyses that further
their understanding and assist them in knowing how, not
what, to think.
Students may leave the course with more questions than
answers about issues both on and off the field in sports,
but they should have a better understanding of how to
think productively about these issues and have the skills
to better address these questions.

Instructor(s): Cabot

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.

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

Instructor(s): Minder;Kokanovich
Course Books: View List of Books
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.

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.
