Adv Legal Writing:Legislative Advocacy

SLN #: 36380
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1003
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): McMahon
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
In this class, we will examine the inner workings of Congress and think through strategies for achieving policy goals through legislation. You will choose a bill that has been introduced in Congress and then, through a series of assignments, you will advocate for the passage of the bill. By engaging in this work, you learn not only how to solve complex legal problems in a legislative context, but also to think critically about the role of the legislative branch and of a lawyer within that branch.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cults & Alt Religions

SLN #: 19676

Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 2
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.

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.

Debtor/Creditor & Bankruptcy Law

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:
Lawyers and their use of the tools of lawyering have secured and now protect the civil rights of people with disabilities. 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 Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Miller
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This class focuses on a wide range of tribal and individual Indian economic development issues. Relevant federal cases, statutes, regulations, and case studies will be used. The primary purpose of the class is to describe and analyze the political, legal, economic, structural, and cultural issues faced by tribal governments and reservation communities when they develop their economies. Additional emphasis will be placed on how tribal initiatives may conflict with federal case law, state jurisdiction, and federal policies directed at tribal economic development. The focus will be on helping students identify and implement creative tribal-based solutions. Although relevant legal principles will be explained when necessary, having taken a course in Federal Indian law will be helpful. This is an experiential learning experience class. Students will be teamed with another student to negotiate a business arrangement between a tribe and a non-Indian businessperson, a contract to effectuate that agreement, form a corporation under a tribal code, and then write a confidential letter to their clients explaining the agreement and whether the client should sign the contract. No exams will be given and no papers can be written for this class.

eDiscovery and Digital Evidence

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Singleton
Course Books: View List of Books

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.

Education & the Law

SLN #: 12097
Course Prefix: LAW-721
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Millat
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
The American education system is at a watershed moment. From arguments over curricular content and parental control to disputes about the role of religion in education, continuing crises of racial segregation and educational inequity, and many other conflicts, schools -- and the students they serve – are at the epicenter of debates playing out on a national scale.

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.

Evidence

SLN #: 11178

Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Berch
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): Schon
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
NOTE: This course is limited to students admitted to the Washington DC Externship Program. Class will be held in the ASU Barrett & O'Connor Washington Center in DC.

This course examines selected advanced administrative law and regulatory policy issues relating to executive agencies. Through readings and case studies, students will gain an advanced understanding of how government agencies do what they do, and of the rules and institutions that control 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).

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.

Instructor(s): Weinstein-Tull
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
In today’s increasingly fragmented and also increasingly interconnected world, conflicts between governments take on new meaning. States and local governments can resist federal laws or they can strengthen them. Interactions between the federal government, state governments, and local governments shape policies like immigration law and sanctuary cities, same-sex marriage, voting rights, environmental law, and criminal justice.

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.

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.

Global Antitrust

SLN #: 16210

Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Bradish
Course Books: View List of Books

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.

This course sets out to cover a range of questions about the evolution of global competition law: What concepts unite these different frameworks? How has competition law been adapted to very different political and economic circumstances internationally? How has the rise of Big Tech led to changes in international dynamics among competition agencies?

No prior experience in antitrust is required. The basic concepts of antitrust law will be covered in a comparative way. Economic theories will be discussed, but no prior knowledge will be assumed.

Islamophobia and the Law

SLN #: 17437
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1002
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Beydoun
Course Books: View List of Books

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.

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.

Law & Psychology of Fraud and Corruption

SLN #: 14179
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1020
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Saks
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This seminar aims to cover a broad range of fraud and corruption in a broad way. We will look at numerous examples of fraud and corruption in a variety of domains: healthcare, science, law, government, sports, education, and business. These examples will range from state-level criminal fraud, through federal white-collar crime and public corruption, to foreign corrupt practices.

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.

Law, Litigation & Science

SLN #: 16130
Course Prefix: LAW-633
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Saks
Course Books: View List of Books

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

Litigation Ethics and Skills

SLN #: 14833

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.

Mergers and Acquisitions

SLN #: 30726
Course Prefix: LAW-659

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Miner
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This class will focus on mergers and acquisitions law, with a particular emphasis not only on applicable legal rules and doctrines but on the practical aspects of structuring, negotiating and memorializing transactions. To this end, the course will rely heavily on in-class simulations of the transactional lawyer’s role in the deal-making process.

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.

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 can encompasses a wide range of subjects, this seminar focuses on the legal issues involving protecting the United States from undue and improper foreign interference and from threats both here and abroad that requiring international cooperation.

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.

Instructor(s): Lisa;Winarski
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
Patent Law is a pre-requisite for this class

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.

Patent Licensing and Monetization

SLN #: 36369
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 1019
Credit Hours: 4
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.

Grades are based 70% on the final 30% on in class participation.

Private Property Rights

SLN #: 36348
Course Prefix: LAW-657
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Claus;Cloar;Patel
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
This course will focus upon one of the most controversial topics in the law and a subject which has received considerable attention from the United States Supreme Court in recent years: the conflict between private property rights and the right of the government to acquire private property for public use or to regulate the use of private property in a manner which substantially limits its economic potential.

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.

Public Health Law and Ethics

SLN #: 19682
Course Prefix: LAW-651
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 2
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.

Race and the Law

SLN #: 36350
Course Prefix: LAW-665
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Beydoun
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
Race and racism have been salient in the formation and enforcement of American law since the nation’s very inception. This course will critically interrogate the ways in which the construction of race, racial classifications, stratification, and shifting formulations of race have been deployed by American legal actors, most notably, the courts, law enforcement, and figures acting on behalf of the state.

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.

The Moral Leader

SLN #: 36352
Course Prefix: LAW-678
Course Section: 1001
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Cabot
Course Books: View List of Books

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.

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.

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.

White Collar Crime

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.

Writing for Judicial Clerks

SLN #: 36385
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1039
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Carter
Course Books: View List of Books

Course Description:
The class is limited to ASU JD Candidates

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.

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.
