Limited to JD students only
The course will take you through the nuts and bolts of the process of lawmaking. You will be asked to think broadly about the role of a lawyer in Congress, the connection (or lack thereof) between legislative history and statutory interpretation, and the relationship between the legislative branch and the other power centers of American government.
But the main focus of this course is on the writing you will do. You will learn how to research and analyze legislation; prepare in-depth documents that think through bill text, policy options, and political consequences; and persuade a legislative audience to adopt your recommendations. You also will be required to present your arguments in oral form, as testimony to a “committee” (made up of myself and your fellow students).
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.
There is no prerequisite for this seminar; however, a
secured transactions or bankruptcy course is highly
recommended.
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.
This Research Cluster will focus on the legal aspects of agricultural production and agribusiness (non-farm businesses involved in purchase, processing, and distribution of agricultural commodities). Small group meetings will be scheduled during the semester. Students will research and complete a paper in the area of agriculture law. This Research Cluster will be limited to 8 students.
A. The regulation of amateur athletics by private
organizations, state, local and federal governments, and
the judicial branch;
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.
Biodiversity law introduces students to the structure of
laws governing the conservation of wildlife, plants, and
ecosystems. It focuses on habitat-based solutions to
conservation, with an eye towards interdisciplinary inputs
into public and private governance approaches.
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.
Enrollment in all clinics is determined through an
application process.
Class will meet Monday, March 4 through Friday, March
8.
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 address the role of the
transactional lawyer, contract interpretation, and the
process of revising contracts drafted by counsel for the
other party. Students will also be introduced to the ways
in which generative A.I. can be effectively and ethically
used in the contract drafting process.
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.
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 course will examine and explore these and other contemporaneous education-related issues through a law and policy lens. It will focus in particular on the role education both can and should play in American society and, in turn, the legal framework that can and should support such a system. Topics to be discussed include, among others, the legal and political design of America’s K-12 public education system; the contours of legally provided rights to educational access; federal and state constitutional and statutory dimensions of school structure, governance, and funding; educational equity and equal educational opportunity; school choice and privatization; religion in schools; the relationship between education and democracy; curricular control; the intersection of education and the First Amendment; and others. Course readings will include federal and state judicial decisions, statutes, and constitutional provisions, as well as law review articles, journalistic reports and analysis, curricular standards, and other literature. The course will culminate with a final paper on a student-chosen topic arising out of the course materials.
This course will prepare and familiarize students with the
business and legal aspects of the entertainment industry,
related contracts, and working with guilds and other
organizations. We will look at entertainment law from a
practical perspective and analyze solutions to common
problems, while providing practical experience in drafting
licensing, distribution and above-the-line contracts and
the terms included within them.

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).

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.
This reading seminar will focus on select commentaries
and rewritten opinions from the text Feminist Judgments:
Rewritten Opinions of the United States Supreme Court.
The rewritten opinions seek to illustrate how decision-
makers with feminist viewpoints could have arrived at
different decisions using different reasoning in critical
Supreme Court cases despite the restrictions of stare
decisis. The seminar will discuss the implications of the
original decisions and how the application of feminist
theory and reasoning can change law and reveal inherent
biases in the justice system.

This is a hands-on-class and students will be asked to participate as either the government’s attorney or the Respondent’s (non-citizen’s) attorney in various scenarios. Students will learn about the removal proceedings, the complexities of immigration law, what causes non-citizens to be placed into removal proceedings, the burden of proof, the types of immigration relief available to Respondents. Students will learn to navigate statutes, regulations, immigration practice manuals, and case law to best build their trial advocacy skills.
Students will be asked to write routine motions, such as a Motion to Continue and a Motion to Change Venue, conduct direct and/or cross-examination of a lay and/or expert witness, oral argument and opening and closing statements.

But what is Islamophobia’s relationship to the law, and how has the law endorsed or emboldened it? Furthermore, can the law be maneuvered to inhibit it, or be relied upon to redress it? This course will examine these questions, and more. Critical examination of Islamophobia enables an investigation of how the law, political institutions and rhetoric, law enforcement, the media, and more, propagate the core baselines that Islam is inherently violent and inassimilable with American values, and that Muslim identity is presumptive of terror threat; and second, analysis of the historical antecedents that gave rise to Islamophobia as a modern form of religious and racial animus.
While anchored in law, this course will also examine how actors beyond the law not only partake in the broader enterprise of structural Islamophobia, but also interact with legal actors and pronouncements that hold Islam out to be violent and Muslim identity tethered to the suspicion of terrorism. Beginning with a review of foundational texts, the course will examine how the most prominent scholars, novelists, artists, and thinkers, beginning in 17th Century Europe, produced works and projected ideas that disseminated the view that Islam was the mirror opposite of the West, and its adherents were a group to be feared and fenced out of their societies. These works enabled the political enterprise of casting Muslims as existential threats, carrying forward war against Muslim states, justifying colonial interventions, and more. After establishing the theoretical underpinnings of Orientalism, the master discourse that spawned Islamophobia as we understand it today, the course will then examine how U.S. immigration and naturalization laws, in conjunction with civil courts, partook in the project of holding Islam to be a faith that cannot be reconciled with racial and religious conceptions of citizenship, from 1790 through 1952.
Next, the course will shift its attention to the World War II through Civil Rights periods, and examine texts, case law and narratives whereby specific groups were similarly cast as “enemy races” or “subversive elements” on grounds of racial or ethnic identity, highlighting how Islamophobia takes form, and often overlaps with, other forms of animus. Finally, the course will close and dedicate ample time to the modern development and emergence of Islamophobia, most notably with the commencement and protraction of the War on Terror, which witnesses an expansion of Islamophobia (on many fronts through) formal state policy and programming, and interaction with forms perpetuated by private actors.
The course will center much of its attention on Islamophobia’s intersection with legal doctrine, and most closely, the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fourteenth Amendments, and statutes defining employment immigration and naturalization, employment discrimination, and more. In addition to old and prevailing immigration law concerns, counterterror policies and programming, and employment discrimination statutes Title VII and §1981 of the U.S.C. In certain areas of inquiry, the course will also examine international cases germane to Islamophobia, offering comparative understandings of the phenomenon.

and Technology of the ASU College of Law.
Along the way, we will become familiar with the relevant law. But we are interested in the policy underlying these laws. So we will sometimes ask whether some of the prohibited activities should not be crimes (has the law over-reached?). On the other hand, we will look at some behavior that is legal, but is arguably so corrupt and socially harmful that perhaps it ought to be reined in; and, if so, how? – by new criminal laws, or regulations, or by some other kind of control? What criteria should guide legal policymakers in making these judgments?
In addition, we will consider some psychological research on aspects of fraud and corruption in an effort to better understand why they happen, why they happen so often, as well as what inhibits such behavior – for the purpose of trying to think innovatively about how the law might be altered to more effectively reduce such activity.
After our broad exploration of fraud and corruption (a wide range of questionable activities, various laws, informed by psychology and policy debates), student projects (leading to seminar papers) will provide the opportunity to dig more deeply into selected aspects of our subject that are of interest to seminar members. These more in-depth efforts can go in any number of directions, for example: Look more deeply into an area of fraud or corruption (e.g., fraud in science) to better understand the nature and impact of the problem, what is done about it, and how it might be controlled better. Analyze a law, describing and evaluating its scope, appropriateness, operation, and effectiveness. Review a large or famous or particularly important problem area or instance, describing its nature, its history, the legal response (or lack of response), outcomes, and lessons to be drawn. Students’ projects and drafts, and what we can learn from them, will become the focus of the final weeks of the course.
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.

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.
This year’s course examines the legal issues that arise when the United States deploys troops or other military assets overseas, such as our war against terror in the Middle East. We will also look at situations where United States assets are not directly involved but the United States is nonetheless deeply involved such as Russia’s war against Ukraine and the Hamas Israeli war. What are the legal rules that come into play? We will look closely at the law of armed conflict (also referred to as the law of war and the international humanitarian law). How do we judge necessity, distinction, proportionality, humanity? How are the rules the same or different depending on whether we are dealing with another nation such as Russia or Iran or a non-nation state or even a group we may classify as terrorists such as Hamas? How do cyber attacks fit in? How do economic sanctions fit in?
Another major legal area in national security is intelligence. How do we gather intelligence and how are we supposed to act on that intelligence? The questions involve 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? Also, in light of current events, the classification and protection of intelligence will be examined.
One of the key differences between national security issues and traditional criminal law is that national security is about collecting, protecting and acting on intelligence, often from foreign sources, and using that intelligence for everything from advancing our international interests to disrupting improper foreign activities before they occur. Traditional criminal law, on the other hand, is more centered on apprehending and convicting people after a crime occurs. These differences may raise significant civil rights, due process and privacy issues which we also explore.
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 for MLS students.
Grades are based 70% on the final 30% on in class
participation.
Students require no technical background for this
course. Students are encouraged, but not required to
take the patent law course or IP survey course prior
to taking this class.
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.

The course will include a detailed review of the most
important United States Supreme Court decisions (e.g.,
Penn Central, Nollan, Lucas, Dolan, Palazzolo,Tahoe
and Lingle) which, in the context of so-called
"regulatory takings” disputes, explore the
circumstances in which government action may go "too
far" and constitute a taking of private property
without just compensation. The eminent domain process
will also be discussed, including the United States
Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New
London.
In addition, a unique section of the course will
utilize the land acquisition litigation arising from
the planning and construction of the Bank One
Ballpark/Chase Field project (Phoenix, Arizona) as a
case study. Pleadings from the appellate proceedings
will supplement course materials and will focus on the
purposes for which private property may be condemned.
The course instructor was one of the trial and
appellate attorney for the Maricopa County Stadium
District.
The course will also examine the nature and history of
title insurance and the role of title insurance in
protecting private property rights. Unlike other
courses which focus solely on a limited area of
substantive law or, alternatively, on procedural or
evidentiary considerations, this innovative course
explores all aspects of "takings" law from
philosophies underpinning (and contradicting with)
takings jurisprudence to the evolution of the
substantive law through the tactics and strategies
often employed at trial and in land use planning
decisions.
The format will be principally lecture, with lively
group discussion anticipated. The course is
recommended for future trial attorneys (government and
private), for prospective real estate and land use
lawyers, and for others with an academic interest in
understanding the law and history behind the
headlines.
Regular attendance and preparation are required in
all courses. Attendance and class participation will be
factored into each student’s final grade.

Most notably, this course will highlight how race fluidly and adeptly adapts across geography, distinct areas of law, and time. Given the breadth of issues and subject matter germane to race and the law, this course is designed to provide students with an intellectual foundation in core areas, including: Critical Race Theory (CRT), the analytical bedrock for the course; citizenship and immigration; policing and law enforcement; the entrenchment and retrenchment of civil rights law; education; and other corollary areas.
As the past several years have lucidly indicated, the intersection between race and the law has been dynamic – and indeed, transformative on social, political and legal dimensions of American and international life. In line with this dynamism, this course will fluidly integrate timely readings, speakers, and discussions into our curriculum – which may invite us to deviate away from the syllabus at times.
In line with its critical legal framework, the reading materials for this class draw from a rich body of interdisciplinary readings. The law itself is interdimensional, which mandates that we examine critical works from the social sciences, humanities, media, and other spheres of knowledge that are salient to race and racial formation. Thus, in addition to reading case-law, statutes, law review articles, and traditional legal sources – our study will be comprised of other sources vital to understanding race and the law.
While organized into a cogent course, “Race and the Law” is immensely broad and layered, encompassing a range of legal areas that can, in truth, be made the subject of two or three separate courses. This course, as a standalone intervention, aims to provide students with a broad survey of Race and the Law and opportunity to delve deep into specialized realms that have significant historic, present-day and future importance.
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 Sustainability Law Research Seminar course enables
students to work closely with a full-time professor
and with peers on substantive legal academic research
projects in the area of environmental sustainability.
The students receive extensive professor feedback
throughout the research and writing process and
workshop their papers to their peers within the class
and give PowerPoint presentations of their projects.
The course seeks to help students produce
sustainability-related law articles worthy of
publication in legal academic journals. The class is structured so that all groups meets
together each Monday for a 90 minute class, and each
group of approximately eight students meets separately
for a longer period on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday to
participate
in litigation skills exercises supervised by experienced
trial lawyers from the community. The Monday lecture
session will focus on litigation topics related to the
performance exercises to be undertaken in the skills
sections conducted later that same week. Students will
engage in exercises involving Interviewing, Counseling,
Written Discovery, Depositions, Pretrial Motions, ADR,
and Trial Advocacy.
Evidence is a Co or Pre Requisite for the course.

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

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.Spring 2024

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 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.

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

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.

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, 2024, semester the topics will include the Court's recent holding invalidating race-conscious affirmative action and important cases that the Court will hear and decide during its 2023-2024 Term. 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 #: 26426
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.

Course Description:
The Decedent's Estates course will provide an overview of
the law of intestacy, wills, probate and non-
testamentary property transfers. This course focuses on
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.

This course will consider how the law has furthered the full participation of people with disabilities in employment, public accommodations, housing, governmental services (including education), and travel. We will analyze the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Fair Housing Act Amendments, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. As Disability Law is a rapidly evolving body of law, we will develop a foundation of the elements of the legal claims available under these statutes and study selected recent judicial decisions expanding the body of disability rights law.

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.

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): 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:
For the first several decades after the Sherman Act was passed, the U.S. and Canada stood virtually alone in modern competition law enforcement. With the establishment of the European Union in the years after World War II, the EU members took up the challenge of a comprehensive competition law regime and adapted it to their own political and administrative systems. As trade, and trade agreements, proliferated globally so did the demands for effective competition law frameworks. Today, there are well over 100 different national and multinational competition law agencies.

Course Description:
This course examines the law’s role in endorsing and advancing Islamophobia – the rising form of animus broadly understood as hate or fear of Islam. Recent political events have spurred mainstream fixation on Islamophobia, making it a primary subject of concern for advocates and activists, media outlets, law enforcement, and a subject of increasing intellectual investigation on the part of law scholars and academics within a range of academic disciplines. Islamophobia has emerged into a cognizable form of religious and racial animus, and a focal concern for many.

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.

SLN #: 14833
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1025
Credit Hours: 2
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): Winarski
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This is a skills-based intellectual property course
covering patent licensing and patent monetization
transactions. Patent licensing and monetization
represents the largest financial portion of the patent
economy. This practical course will focus on
negotiation skills, contract drafting skills,
presentation skills, and technical knowledge as used
in actual licensing and monetization negotiations as
well as integrating key subjects from patent law to
demonstrate real-world business transactions involving
patents. Students will conduct mock negotiations and
contract drafting for three separate patent
transactions: a mock patent sale, a mock licensing
engagement, and a mock patent portfolio transaction.
In particular for the mock licensing engagement,
students will be divided into teams representing
separate companies that each potentially infringe a
patent owned by the other company and: negotiate and
draft a Non-Disclosure/Standstill Agreement in order
to start a substantive licensing discussion, draft
claim charts showing infringement, develop a business
model for damages, conduct a technical presentation
showing their claim chart alleging infringement and
business case for licensing, conduct a rebuttal
presentation attacking the other team’s claim chart
for lack of infringement and invalidity of the patent
as well as rebutting damages, negotiate a term sheet
for a cross-licensing deal, and draft a cross-license.
Students will also receive lectures on core patent law
licensing and monetization issues, contractual patent
issues, portfolio transactions driving Mergers &
Acquisitions, patent consortiums, patent portfolio
market economics and other patent monetization
vehicles.

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.”

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): Hodge Jr.;Piatt
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 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.

Credit Hours: 2
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;Bales
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.
