A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z This seminar examines the historical and contemporary
role of law in achieving the goals outlined in the
Preamble of the United States Constitution. It will focus
on membership and belonging as an aspect of forming a
more perfect union. Students will explore legal rules
governing membership in American society, how access to
material and non-material resources is shaped by
conceptions of membership and belonging, and how
conceptions of membership and belonging have changed over
time. Topics to be explored will include access to U.S.
citizenship status, healthcare, education, and housing.
Grades will be based on class participation, leading a
class discussion, a paper, and a paper presentation.
The number and impact of all these agencies and rules
have led many to refer to our government as The
Regulatory State. In this course we study the
administrative law process, starting with Constitutional
law through today’s current challenge of issuing
regulations needed to keep up with the speed of
technological innovations. We study the traditional Admin
Law topics regarding the authority of agencies,
rulemaking, adjudication, legal restraints, due process,
judicial review of agency actions, and judicial
deference.
Additionally, a substantial portion of the class content
will be based on the economics and public policy
considerations in regulating a complex society. We will
study the reasons we regulate, methods of regulation, and
the dynamics of agencies. We will spend a large part of
our time on current events and discuss how business, law,
economics, and politics are related, including the legal
and political debates currently appearing in the media,
and in cases coming before the SCOTUS which has signaled
a new hostility to parts of the regulatory state.
This course explores various ways that lawyers use their
writing skills to create legal change beyond just
advocating for their client's goals. It will explore
theories about when legal change occurs and various roles
lawyers can play in creating change. It will also cover
options for creating legal change, such as clarifying the
law for non-lawyers, use of amicus briefs to bring
additional voices into litigation, advocacy for
regulatory changes through rulemaking, and use of ballot
measures to create direct change. Assignments will
include both revising existing sources and writing
documents for change.
The purpose of this cluster, offered in Fall and Spring,
is to develop oral and written advocacy skills with the
short-term goal of participating in the National Native
American Law Students Association Moot Court Competition.
The long-term goal is to familiarize students with
appellate advocacy through the stages of legal research,
writing, and oral argument with emphasis on appellate
advocacy for Tribal clients on Federal Indian law or
Tribal law issues. In the fall, students will focus on
persuasive writing, legal research, and how to organize
and draft a brief, as well as becoming familiar with the
format and expectations of oral arguments before
appellate bodies. The students will draft a brief during
the fall semester. In the Spring, students will rewrite
their brief and practice oral argument skills by focusing
on rhetorical devices, stylistic considerations, and
responding to questions from a panel of Judges while
rebutting opposing arguments as they prepare for the Moot
Court Competition. Students will receive feedback from
Instructors and will have the opportunity to hear from
guest speakers and practice with guest judges.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
A. Understand the general framework of a corporate project from start (in R&D), through manufacturing and sourcing, through sale to end customer.
B. Identify and discuss with clients the key risks that each contract or scenario in the framework bring.
C. Provide practical counseling to clients on contracts that come from the client’s third party partners/vendors/customers while being able to explain the logic for the feedback and short/long term consequences.
D. Understand that there are multiple “right” answers to advancing a client’s project along.
Class will meet Monday, March 6 through Friday, March 10, 2022.
Enrollment priority will be given to 3L students seeking the Indian Law Certificate, but enrollment may be open to other students depending on resources and logistics.
Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) is a tribal nonprofit organization serving Alaska Native and American Indian people residing in the Cook Inlet region of southcentral Alaska. As one of the nation’s preeminent culturally responsive social-service organizations, CITC assists in various innovative partnerships to reaching often-untapped potential.
The Alaska Native Justice Center (ANJC) is housed at CITC and will serve as a partner in the delivery of the course. The ANJC promotes justice through culturally based advocacy, prevention and intervention services to restore dignity, respect and humanity to all Alaska Native people. ANJC was established in 1993 to address Alaska Native and Alaskan people’s unmet needs within the civil and criminal justice system, in response to the increasing disproportionate rates of victimization, incarceration, and other justice-related issues impacting Alaska Native people statewide. The course will also tap into the expertise of local attorneys at the Anchorage office of Native American Rights Fund and private law firms such as Sonosky, Chambers, Sachse, Mill & Monkman, LLP and others.
The class is designed to expose students to the unique legal issues of Alaska Native experience – and area of Federal Indian Law that is often marginalized and not fully treated in courses and texts. The subject matter areas will include access to courts, criminal and civil jurisdiction, land and natural resources and the delivery of a world-class intertribal health system. Also central to the course will be the myriad of legal issues that flow from the first fifty years of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (43 USC 1601 et seq).
The course will address the practical, legal and economic issues and solutions for Alaska Native communities and the core competencies required of lawyers that will work in this space. The course will also address comparative realities of Alaska Native populations to those communities in the lower 48 to increase awareness of Alaska Native issues for future general Indian law practitioners.
There is no casebook for this course. The up-to- date text of the Arizona Constitution will be available in the Copy Center at the beginning of the semester. Judicial opinions applying and interpreting the Arizona Constitution and other relevant materials will be accessed through the internet.
The course focuses on essay writing, MBE (multiple
choice) questions, and the MPT (multi-state
performance test) for the bar exam. (The MPT is a written
office memo or court brief based on facts, case law,
and statutes provided by the bar examiners.) Students
will be required to write essays, MPT questions, and
multiple choice questions as part of weekly homework.
All assignments will be graded and then discussed in
class. Additionally, there will be a short research
paper required and a final exam.
In Bioethics and the Law, we will take up a wide
range of cutting-edge topics including genetics, human
research regulation, human enhancement, right-to-try
therapies, reproductive technologies, organ transplants,
death & dying, distributive justice/healthcare reform and
related implications from various perspectives.
Readings for Class: Available a week in advance.
No textbook required.
Evaluation: 1) 90% in-class or take-home exam.
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.
Student-attorneys enrolled in the Civil Litigation
Clinic represent clients in civil disputes and
administrative proceedings under close faculty
supervision. Cases may include:
• Consumer Fraud
The Civil Litigation Clinic also includes an advanced
seminar that focuses on simulation exercises in such
matters as: advanced interviewing techniques, fact
investigation, case theory development, client
counseling, civil discovery, negotiation, alternative
dispute resolution, and courtroom advocacy. It is a
graded course, with grading based on diligence,
effectiveness and responsibility in representing
clients, and on classroom participation.
Evidence and Professional Responsibility are
prerequisite or co-requisite courses.
NOTE: Please see the Clinical Program website for more

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.
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.
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 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.
There is no casebook for this course. Class discussion will be based on unedited Supreme Court opinions and other materials available on the internet.
This advanced course in education addresses
constitutional law, federal and state statutory and
regulatory provision and case law . The studies will
encompass the development of statutory and case including
their impact upon education in the United States and the
State of Arizona. The class will analyze and report on
analyze major decisions of the United States Supreme
Court in the areas of finance, religion, free speech,
collective bargaining, student and teacher rights, rights
of the disabled, desegregation and discrimination
including recent Arizona decisions. The major critical
legal issues in traditional public charter and private
education will be discussed. Each student as a
significant part of the class and their grade will select
from a list of suggested areas or designate an area of
interest and prepare a paper power and partner with the
instructor to lead the class discussion on the topic. The
presentation should be scheduled to fill the major
component of the class time and will be the focus of each
student to master a particular area of law. Practical
skills application will be used in the final two class
period with outside expert witnesses and student
participants in all roles involving student expulsion
with issues related to guns at school and disability
identification and accommodation by the District.. If
scheduling permits a session shall be devoted to an
employee grievance and the resolution process. We will
analyze several U.S. Supreme Court decisions involving
educational issues, their history and future impact.
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 Kelle Andrews 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.
Both Evidence and Criminal Procedure are recommended
prerequisites.
Federalism provides the legal and cultural frameworks
for these debates. This class will explore
federalism’s foundations, its law, and its application
to contemporary problems and politics. We will examine
the interplay between the structure of federalism and
individual rights. And we will assess federalism’s
evolving—but also foundational—role in debates over
race and inequality.

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 health 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.

Winning cases depends on telling effective stories that
connect with the judge, jury, and opposing counsel.
Awareness of the biases that affect the legal profession
is key to being a superb advocate.
This course will explain the concept of implicit bias, as
well as cover the legal history showing anti-bias
measures. The course will introduce the myriad of studies
showing bias to be prevalent in society, from hiring and
promotional decisions, police shootings, criminal
sentencing, to judicial decision making. We will also
explore ways to combat implicit bias in the legal
profession.

By the end of this course, students will understand
and be able to discuss and analyze issues relating to:
A. What constitutes a “brand” and how a “brand” is
developed;
The final grade will be based on group in-class
presentations, a final exam, and class participation
and attendance. JD students will be expected to
present certain materials, which will be assigned
during the class.

This course is designed to introduce the basic elements
of
financial accounting to attorneys. This course will
present the “Fundamentals of Accounting” as well as the
“Accounting Principles” that form the foundation for
current day accounting. The students will gain an
understanding of Financial Statements, Financial
Statement
and Auditing reporting requirements and a general
overview
of the entities that set the rules, ethics and standards
for the accounting profession. The course is divided into
three (3) sections consisting of the introduction of
accounting, forensic and valuation issues and the
examination and cross-examination of accountants.

Students will have the option of completing their
graduation writing requirement through the Mediation
Clinic, by enrolling in a one-credit independent
study. Registration instructions will be provided
during the first week of classes.
Each student will choose an innovative legal policy –
possibly something that is currently being done, or
experimented with, or under discussion in the U.S. policy
world, or in place in another country, or a clever idea
you (the student) invent –research it thoroughly,
critically evaluate it, and present your findings and
conclusions orally to the class and in a written paper.
The semester will be divided into two unequal halves:
I. Readings and discussion of major background topics to
acquire a basic understanding of the problem of medical
error and the conventional malpractice litigation
response.
II. Presentations of and class discussion about your
projects in progress.
In light of the interactive and practice-focused nature of this course, it will rely on student participation to a greater degree than in the typical law school course. For this reason, evaluation of the student performance will be based in part on participation. The precise grading criteria will be provided to students in the course syllabus prior to or at the first class session.
The bulk of this class is interactive and practice-focused, and therefore attendance is of particular importance. The instructors intend to give appropriate weight in grading to unexcused absence, tardiness, inadequate preparation, and poor class performance. Withdrawal for excessive absence will be recorded as a failing grade or as a withdrawal, at the instructors’ discretion.
20% of the grade will be determined by a paper presented
at the end of the course. 80% of the grade will be
determined by class participation, completion of the
reading and weekly writing assignments.
1. the student writes a minimum of 3,750 words of a
brief (if multiple team members, each team member must
be responsible for a minimum of 3,750 words);
2. the student participates in a minimum of five (5)
practice oral arguments; and
3. the student rewrites the brief (or his/her portion
of the brief) under the supervision of the faculty
supervisor, following the competition.
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- or co-requisite for JD students and a pre-requisite for MLS students.
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 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.
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.
• If you take the survey course then you are
welcome to take either or both of the separate courses

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.
This seminar examines tax policy from a variety of perspectives: legal, philosophical, economic, social, and political. The course concentrates on the income tax but considers other taxes as well. Topics may vary from year to year but deal with basic issues such as: the role of taxation; the definition of fairness, the tension, if any, between fairness and efficiency, the tax base (e.g., income vs. consumption vs. wealth), defining the tax base (e.g., what is income), the taxable unit (e.g., family vs. individual), the rate structure (flat vs. progressive), the interplay between federal and state tax policy, tax expenditures, tax simplification and tax reform. Students will research and write a 30-page paper that they will present to the class. Grades are based on the quality of the final draft of the paper, paper presentation, and class participation. The class is structured so that all groups meets
together each Monday for a 90 minute class, and each

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. This
course will introduce students to the practice of law in
Arizona. Students will research Arizona secondary and
primary sources, including specialized sources, and they
will write and edit various practice-oriented documents,
such as an engagement agreement and correspondence. In
addition, students will practice client counseling
skills, discuss the lawyer’s role in the justice system,
develop a plan for professional identity, discuss pro
bono opportunities in Arizona, and research a specific
practice area in-depth.
Students may not enroll in the Criminal Practice
Clinic in the same semester in which they take Trial
Advocacy.

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.

Course Description:
Artificial intelligence has quickly emerged as one of the
most fundamental technologies affecting all aspects of
our lives and the law today – including national
security, transportation, communications, financial
services, health care, criminal investigation and
prosecution, human and family relationships, and the
practice of law. Artificial intelligence, along with its
related technologies of robots, automation, machine
learning, and algorithms, raises a plethora of legal,
policy and ethical issues relating to safety, privacy,
security, accountability, discrimination, regulation,
liability and rights. This seminar will explore the
growing applications of artificial intelligence and study
the legal, ethical and policy implications of these
applications.

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.

Instructor(s): Aragon;Destefano
Course Books: View List of Books
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!

Course Description:
Over ninety percent is the accepted figure for the number of cases that resolve by plea agreement in our criminal justice system. This course will explore the plea negotiation process that lawyers for the prosecution and defense engage in every day. The vehicle for this exploration will be the wide array of criminal fraud cases and statutes, which this course will help you understand and effectively apply. You will also learn about the legal and practical challenges facing fraud victims and individuals accused of fraud. Importantly, this course will enable you to think critically about the motivation and principles underlying the high-stakes sentencing process in our state and federal courts.

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, 2023, semester, the topics will include important cases that the U.S. Supreme Court has just decided (such as the Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade and its invalidation of a New York City law restricting the possession of guns in public places) and cases that it will hear and decide during its 2022-2023 Term (such as the continued validity of race-conscious affirmative action programs in colleges and universities and the ability of state courts to use state constitutions to invalidate state legislation that the Court has held does not violate the U.S. Constitution). There will also be discussion of non-case specific issues such as the extent to which President Trump’s three appointments to the Supreme Court have affected or will affect the development of U.S. constitutional law, whether the life-tenure system or the size of the Supreme Court should be changed and whether the Court should use a “shadow docket” to resolve important constitutional questions without oral argument and full briefing.

SLN #: 30341
Course Prefix: LAW-653
Course Section: 1001
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.

common law and a comparison between the Uniform Probate
Code and the Arizona statutes. Drafting issues and
techniques are covered. The course is comprehensive, but
does NOT cover complex estate planning or tax. This
course is important for all second and/or third year law
students. Every lawyer should have a working knowledge of
wills and estates. This is also a major subject on most
bar exams. This course will use the Dukeminier Johanson
"Wills, Trusts and Estates" casebook, and will cover
chapters 1 - 8 therein.

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.

Instructor(s): Jones
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 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.

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

SLN #: 12265
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 1007
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Hepburn;Levesque
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course is designed to acquaint students with the
legal intricacies of using domestic laws to prosecute
international crimes. Taught through a combination of
lecture, discussion, and simulation, the course will
teach the fundamentals of criminal prosecution. The role
of the federal prosecutor and key phases of a criminal
case will be explored, such as initiating investigations
and creating investigative plans; obtaining evidence from
foreign countries and ensuring it is admissible in court;
addressing constitutional issues that can arise when
gathering evidence abroad; making charging decisions;
exploring discovery issues common in transnational
prosecutions; drafting indictments and presenting before
the grand jury; preparing the case for trial; negotiating
pleas; and preparing for sentencing. These topics will be
explored using investigation/case simulations from U.S.
substantive human rights and humanitarian law statutes,
including the U.S. War Crimes Act, smuggling statutes
used to dismantle complex transnational smuggling
organizations, and other U.S. statutes that have
extraterritorial reach. Simulated exercises and
corresponding writing assignments may include: preparing
investigative plans; conducting witness interviews;
drafting search warrant affidavits for electronic and
other evidence; identifying the legal elements for novel
statutes; crafting indictments; eliciting grand jury
testimony; preparing and delivering opening statements,
direct examinations, cross-examinations, and closing
arguments; and drafting and negotiating plea agreements.
An investigation/case study may include the armed
conflict in Ukraine and recent smuggling events that
raise grave humanitarian concerns.

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 Description:
The course will focus on the law surrounding three key
principles of health insurance reform: (1) providing
expanded access to health care coverage through private
insurance plans in both the commercial and government
subsidized markets; (2) the need of health insurers to
change provider payment systems that impact health care
costs and quality outcomes; and (3) the challenges
associated with greater consumer engagement in the health
insurance marketplace through the design and pricing of
health benefit plans, as well as increased consumer
understanding of health care costs and quality outcomes.
The objective of the course is to examine the interplay
of the three principles referenced above in the health
insurance law context.

Course Description:
This seminar will explore the effect of law on social
change and will contrast the role of litigation as a tool
of social change with legislative and community
empowerment approaches. During the first weeks of the
course, students will collectively determine what topics
to consider and how the course will be structured.
Possible topics may include marriage equality, criminal
justice reform, civil rights movements, death penalty,
environmental justice, opioid litigation and the #MeToo
movement. The course will also likely focus on
individuals who have engaged in cause lawyering. Paper(s)
and class participation is required and the nature of the
paper(s) will be decided in the first week but there will
likely be several options.

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course aims to fill a gap in the education of most
lawyers, namely, how to effectively think about and use
empirical evidence. How do lawyers and the law obtain
needed facts about the way the world works, evaluate
those facts, and employ them in making law as well as in
deciding cases? The course will improve your skills in
dissecting an opponent’s evidence and in presenting your
own more intelligently and effectively. Although the
materials of the course emphasize cases involving social
science data, the intellectual skills and legal issues
are equally applicable to any other kind of empirical
evidence in law (e.g., biomedical, economic, forensic
science, etc.), and some of the cases and materials we
will use involve those other subject matters. The course
has these goals: (1) To assist students in developing an
ability to think rigorously and critically about factual
assertions and the evidence offered in their support. (2)
To understand the evolving doctrine that governs how the
law obtains, evaluates, and gives legal effect to
empirical knowledge. (3) To examine these issues in their
legal context, as they occur in a wide range of
substantive legal areas.

SLN #: 14594

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 Section: 1021
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Cohen
Course Books: View List of Books
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.

Course Section: 1022
Credit Hours: 2
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?

Instructor(s): Gordon
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
National Security Law is a two hour seminar examining the legal structures and questions arising from protecting the national security. While national security law encompasses a wide range of subjects, the seminar focuses on the legal issues that arise in protecting the United States from undue and improper foreign interference and from threats that necessitate international cooperation. 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. In the health care space it looks at threats caused by cyber-attacks on providers, climate disruption as national security issue and responding to pandemics. One of the key distinctions between national security issues and traditional criminal law is that national security is about collecting, protecting and acting on 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 also explore. Also, in light of current events, the classification and protection of intelligence will be examined in depth. We 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 examine the legal issues regarding the United State’s involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine and specifically the power of the President to impose sanctions or provides arms and support.

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.

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

Course Description:
The course is targeted at teaching the fundamental
knowledge and skills required for preparing patent
applications for filing at the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (PTO) and pursuing them to issuance. The patent
practitioner must be prepared to interview the inventor,
learn the technology, and prepare the patent application.
Further, the patent practitioner negotiates with the
examiner and prosecutes the application. Clients expect
the practitioner to provide useful counsel on how to
pursue the application, options for appealing or
otherwise overcoming adverse decisions, and protecting
the technology from domestic and foreign competition. The
course is designed to train the patent practitioner to
understand the patent options for various technologies,
clients, and situations. Students learn the basics of
drafting patent applications, pursuing the patent
application through the PTO process, meeting adverse
decisions from the PTO, and maintaining the issued
patent. The course also addresses anticipating litigation
issues, protecting developing technologies, and pursuing
patents abroad.”

Instructor(s): Rael

Course Description:
"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.

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.

SLN #: 20858

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.

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

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

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): 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 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.
