It will explore theories about when legal change occurs and various roles lawyers can play in creating change.

Students are expected to spend an average of eight to ten hours per day on class assignments.

Course Description:
This is an online class that will meet from May 31 - July 15, 2022. A take-home final exam will be administered the week of July 18.

This course describes how the laws governing business organizations impact the work of all lawyers. A basic understanding of the organization and management of business enterprises, and the law of agency, partnership, limited liability companies, corporations, and securities, is routinely needed across a diverse range of legal specializations.

Business enterprises can be organized in various ways to achieve different goals. It is fundamental to understand all the forms into which business enterprises are organized, and the pros and cons of each form. Lawyers are often called upon by business people to help them select the form of business through which they can most effectively achieve their business goals. Accordingly, we study sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and the increasingly popular new form of enterprise called the limited liability company (“LLC”). Changing perspective, we study how lawyers practicing in different fields encounter and interact with business organizations whether through litigation, transactions, taxation, or public policy.

Independent Study

SLN #: 40080
Course Prefix: LAW-781
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 1
Instructor(s):
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
Hours Per Credit:
Independent study projects must meet the quantum of work requirements expected from students enrolled in a regular course taken for the same number of credits. The strong presumption is that an independent study project will be for only 1 credit. Only in rare or unusual circumstances will permission be granted for an independent study project to qualify for more than 1 credit. Students seeking more than 1 credit bear the burden of demonstrating in their proposal that their project warrants more than 1 credit. If a student has signed up for a 1- credit project and later believes that the quality and quantum of work warrant a second credit, the student must overcome the strong presumption that only 1 credit should be awarded and must obtain consent from both the supervising faculty member and the dean’s designee. For paper projects, simply meeting the stated minimum word requirement for a 2-credit paper alone is not sufficient to qualify for an additional credit.

Requirements for Written Work Product:
The typical independent study project results in a single, fully-developed paper. Faculty members may set a minimum length for this paper based on 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 faculty retain some discretion with regard to minimum paper length, past practices suggest that a 1-credit project should yield a paper of at least 6,250 words (including footnotes). In rare cases where 2 credits are sought, the project should yield a paper of at least 10,000 words. All independent study papers should undergo at least one significant rewrite after review by the advising faculty advisor. Students should expect to receive no more than two rounds of substantive feedback from their faculty advisor on their projects before submitting a final draft for a grade, though faculty members may agree to do more.

Evidence

SLN #: 40140
Course Prefix: LAW-605
Course Section: D1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Baier
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This class will meet on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 10:00 am - 12:55 pm beginning July 6, 2022. The last class will meet on August 1, 2022. The final exam will be administered on Thursday, August 4, 2022 at 10:00 am

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.
