This course examines the legal constraints that apply to
business organizations with an emphasis on how the law
addresses the problem of the separation of ownership from
control in publicly held corporations. Alternatives to
the corporate form, including partnership and the limited
liability company, will also be addressed, although
primarily as a comparative tool for achieving a more in-
depth understanding of the corporation. Topics will
include fiduciary law, shareholder voting, derivative
suits, executive compensation and control transactions.
These issues will be most relevant to those students who
plan on representing business entities in transactions or
litigation, however, it is difficult to overstate the
importance of a general knowledge of these topics
regardless of the area of law in which one plans to
practice. Materials to be announced. No background in
business, accounting or finance is required.
The final exam will be a take-home exam administered
through ExamSoft.

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.
A study of constitutional criminal procedure with major
emphasis on the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel, the
Fifth Amendment's right against self-incrimination, and the

through ExamSoft.
Students may take the seminar for two or three credits.
Students who select the three-credit option will register
for a one-credit independent study with Professor Demaine
after the spring semester begins, and write 25 additional
pages during the semester.
This 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 U.S. government's newly aggressive regulation of international business transactions, for these and other policy reasons, has made this a field in which U.S. and foreign companies are hiring thousands of attorneys and other risk and compliance management professionals. The U.S. government is also hiring in this field.
As part of enforcing these new laws, the U.S. government has imposed billions of dollars in fines on U.S. and foreign companies. Such companies are vastly increasing their hiring of attorneys in this arena both to avoid further penalties and under pressure from various non- governmental advocates in the growing corporate social responsibility movement.
The course will be taught by Professor Orde Kittrie, an expert on these topics, online from Washington, DC. The DC venue will facilitate guest presentations by several of the U.S.’s leading practitioners in this arena, including persons who have led these issues for the U.S. government.
The course will address U.S. laws on specific issues including the following:
-- U.S. trade restrictions designed to promote health, product safety, child labor, and environmental protections overseas;
The final grade will be based on class participation (to include any assigned in-class presentations) and a paper on a topic regarding U.S. regulation of international business transactions.
Accordingly, the College will normally recognize a
maximum of 12 credit hours for law school externship
work in partial fulfillment of the J.D. degree under

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.
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.
This course will introduce and reinforce bar examination study and test taking skills. It will provide a review of the most heavily-tested areas of substantive law on the bar exam, an in-depth exploration of each part of the bar exam (multiple choice, essay and performance test), and weekly practice opportunities to build students’ skills regarding each part of the exam. Through regular self-assessment and graded feedback, this course will provide students with the opportunity to hone the skills necessary for effective bar exam study and success on the bar exam. The course includes four mandatory in-person sessions on 1/24/24, 2/7/24, 3/21/24, and 4/4/24 from 9:00 a.m. to Noon; the remainder of the class will be completed asynchronously via Canvas.

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

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 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.
In depth discussion of the Court’s opinions with focus on the importance of the case, the quality of the Court's reasoning, and the judicial philosophies of the individual Justices.
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.

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. 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.Spring 2025

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Gubler
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This seminar will explore various issues in corporate law, including discussions of securities fraud and the securities disclosure regime. In considering these questions, we will take a broadly economic approach to our analysis, although no prior experience in economics or finance is required or expected. We will begin by familiarizing ourselves with the agency cost framework for analyzing the corporation, whereby law is viewed primarily as a tool for reducing the agency costs that result from the corporation’s separation of ownership from control. We will then ask how well this agency cost theory does in explaining the structure of corporate law and raise the possibility that the law is not exclusively focused on minimizing agency costs but might be doing something more in addition. We will consider the jurisprudential nature of corporate law doctrine, including how we might make sense of fiduciary duty law’s tendency to develop complex doctrines while at the same time largely rejecting sanctions. With respect to insider trading law, we’ll consider how Rule 10b-5 has been interpreted in the past and how it should be going forward. Reading assignments will draw largely from law review articles, and students will be expected to submit 1-2 page response papers discussing each assignment’s readings. There will be no exam, but students will be required to complete a paper that meets the upper-level writing requirement.

Instructor(s): Gordon
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Antitrust Law (or competition law, as it is known outside
the United States) represents the most basic form of
economic regulation in market-oriented national economic
systems. These laws regulate business relationships
between competitors, the range of permissible conduct by
large or dominant firms, and relationships between firms
at different levels in the chain of distribution, all
ostensibly to protect consumers. Potential offenses
include monopolization, collusion and other agreements
(including mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures) in
restraint of trade. In recent years, the antitrust laws
have become particularly important in industries
involving health care, network technologies, the
extensive use of intellectual property and generally the
question of concentration by the likes of Amazon and
Facebook. After an extended time of modest antitrust
activity, one of the central questions faced by the new
administration is the extent to which it will embrace
“hipster antitrust” to these new challenges. This course
will explore all these issues.

Instructor(s): Smith
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
From Big Tech to Big Pharma, antitrust enforcers are currently taking aim at some of the world's largest companies. Antitrust agencies' novel monopolization theories, revised merger guidelines, and aggressive enforcement reflect an increasingly popular "anti-bigness" attitude. While the contemporary fervor is new, the debates it has unearthed are not. Scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers have been debating the objectives, standards, and economic implications of the Sherman Act since its enactment in 1890. In this seminar, you will explore those debates, from both contemporary and historical perspectives, and examine their impact on the current antitrust landscape.

Instructor(s): Reed
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course will expose you to contemporary issues at the intersection of law, culture, and the arts. Among other questions, we ask: how does the law regulate artistic practice? How does it engage with the way we produce culture? How does our shared culture impact what art is protected? And, when does culture become ownable under intellectual property and other laws? The course will necessarily ground students in core copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property doctrines that govern the creation and use of art and culture. But we will also explore other key areas of the law, such as speech protections, cultural resources laws, and privacy. In this course, students will grow their knowledge and hone their skill at applying art and culture law to some of the most challenging issues affecting contemporary society while also developing a number of critical lenses for assessing the relative strengths and weaknesses of these legal regimes.

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.

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course provides a detailed introduction to the law of copyright. It emphasizes the basics of traditional copyright protection for art, music, and literature and but also considers the application of those basic principles in an age of digital technology (music sharing á la Grokster, internet hyperlinking, protection of computer programs and user interfaces, and similar current issues). Copyright law is now important well beyond the entertainment industry, although many of the decisions we study derive from that genre. (Humphrey Bogart, Cole Porter, George Harrison, J.D. Salinger, Superman, Mickey Mouse, and many other luminaries make cameo appearances in our cases.) Copyright (and copyright-like protection schemes) have become an increasingly important element of a general law practice as a result of the explosive growth in economic value of information-based products, like computer software and digital networks and databases. The lawyer ignorant of basic copyright principles will be increasingly handicapped in many areas of practice, such as negotiating technology transfers, drafting contractual rights, developing schemes of protection and privacy, distinguishing criminal from noncriminal behavior, and in litigation. But more important than all that, the cases and materials are lots of fun!

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

SLN #: 18768

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.

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.

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.

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

Instructor(s): Michaels
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This seminar addresses the health insurance marketplace from a legal perspective, with a focus on how access to health care services is impacted by the manner in which this marketplace is financed and managed. Topics to be explored include (1) the Affordable Care Act’s insurance reform provisions and how the expanded role of federal subsidies in this marketplace facilitates consumer access to coverage; (2) Federal laws and regulations that address increased health care price transparency to consumers from both hospitals and health plans, while also protecting consumers from unanticipated health care costs; (3) How the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) affects health care coverage offered by employer group health plans and whether this law operates as a barrier to meaningful State health insurance reforms; (4) Changing provider health care payment systems and their relationship to costs, quality and consumer satisfaction with health care services; (5) The role of private health insurers in providing coverage to Medicare beneficiaries and Medicaid recipients on a full risk basis, and whether there is sufficient accountability to ensure access and quality of care while managing program costs; (6) Prescription drug pricing, including the prescription drug price negotiation provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and the pending legal initiatives taken by the pharmaceutical industry to delay or defeat their implementation; and (7) The role of the Supreme Court in determining consumer access to certain health care services, such as preventive health services and contraceptive benefits, as well as potential discrimination claims related to health care coverage. Course requirements include a seminar paper on a topic directly related to seminar content and of potential interest to a prospective employer in the healthcare sector.

Course Description:
This class will provide an overview of the international
human rights law system. We will examine the primary
substantive standards that comprise the core of
international human rights law, such as rights to a fair
trial and to be free from genocide, torture, summary
execution, arbitrary arrest and detention, and
discrimination. We will also examine so-called “second-
generation rights,” such as economic, social, and
cultural rights. We will study the primary institutions
and processes for the enforcement of such rights: treaty
monitoring bodies, the regional human rights courts and
commissions, the United Nations institutions, including
the Human Rights Commission and the Security Council,
domestic implementation through legislative and judicial
mechanisms, as well as through inter-governmental
diplomacy, reporting, and the mobilization of shame by
non-governmental organizations. And, we will examine the
explosion of international criminal tribunals, beginning
with an examination of the Nuremberg trials, then a look
at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for
Rwanda, and the new International Criminal Court.

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 #: 13184

Course Section: 1020
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.

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.

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 Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The protection and preservation of the public health are quintessential goals of government. Equally critical is the need to respect individual rights and morals 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, Public Health Law and Ethics, explores the inherent tensions between promoting the public health and protecting the legal and ethical rights and interests of individuals.
Public health law and ethics require a careful balancing of collective and individual rights and interests. The objectives of this course are to: (1) better understand the structure and functions of the public health system; (2) define public health through an examination of public health 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 legal and ethical conflicts between governmental interests in public health and individual interests in liberty or other protected rights in multiple contexts. These conflicts will be examined through critical facets of public health theory and 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 for the public’s health. While protecting the public’s health has global dimensions, which will be explored to some degree, the focus of the course is on public health law in the United States.

SLN #: 18828
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 1028
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Marchant
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
The objectives of this seminar are to train future
lawyers in developing, selecting and implementing private
standards, soft law and self-regulation by your clients.
Every company utilizes private standards, soft law and
self-regulation to some degree, and this reliance is
particularly substantial in cutting edge industries such
as those in the technology sector. Although there is an
emerging strong need for attorneys with expertise in
standards, soft law and self-regulation while the
traditional law school curriculum does not address these
forms of self-governance in any detail. This seminar
seeks to fill that gap. It will address the advantages
and disadvantages of soft law approaches and discuss the
contexts and industries in which it is most and least
relevant. It will discuss the various types of soft law
used by companies and will examine case studies to study
where such programs succeed and fail and the contributing
factors. It will discuss the various legal issues raised
by building soft law programs, including antitrust,
intellectual property, corporate governance, contract and
insurance implications. It will examine criticism of
industry self-regulation and potential tools for making
soft law programs more credible and effective through
greater accountability. It will also discuss the various
ways in which soft law and hard law inter-relate and
interact with each other. The skills that will be taught
include factual and legal analysis, issue spotting,
ethical evaluation, and legal writing. Students will also
emerge with greater career readiness and preparation to
advise clients with a deeper knowledge of soft law
governance mechanisms that apply to them.

Instructor(s): Green
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course is about the tools that judges in our tradition use to interpret written sources of law, like statutes and regulations. What are those tools? Why do judges use them? And how do they work in concrete cases? Alongside these basic questions, we’ll consider (1) debates about the relationship between the statute’s text, it’s context of enactment, and the apparent purposes or intentions of its authors; (2) the “grammatical canons of construction,” and the so-called “substantive canons”; (3) the role of legislative history; (4) how federal statutes interact with one another, and with prior judicial precedents construing them; (5) the circumstances in which a federal court may (or must) defer to an administrative agency’s interpretation of a statute; and (6) when federal statutes preempt state law.

Federal Income Tax is a pre-requisite for this seminar.
This seminar examines tax policy from a variety of
perspectives: legal, philosophical, economic, social, and
political. The course concentrates on the income tax but
considers other taxes as well. General topics include
individual, business, and international taxes. Specific
topics may vary from year to year but deal with basic
issues such as: the role of taxation; the definition of
fairness, the tension, if any, between fairness and
efficiency, the rate structure (flat vs. progressive),
tax expenditures, tax simplification and tax reform.
Students will write a series of three page position
papers over the course of the semester and will lobby
Senator Kyl twice in support of or opposition to specific
reform proposals. At the end of the semester, students
will write a 5 page reflection paper discussing how their
views on tax policy have changed (or not) as a result of

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.

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.

Instructor(s): Kokanovich
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This class will focus on the process and practice of white collar and corporate criminal prosecution, defense and case resolution mainly in the pre-charging phase. It will not be a class that focuses on the elements of substantive criminal offenses, although we will analyze at least one federal substantive crime. Rather it will attempt to examine the process the government uses to investigate and prosecute what are commonly referred to as white collar crimes and the process and methodology defense lawyers and corporate counsel use to respond to these investigations, to avoid prosecution, and to resolve cases. We will also look at prosecution policy and discretion, the process of plea negotiation, the issues confronted in parallel criminal and civil proceedings, the collateral consequences of a criminal conviction, and the ethical issues that arise in these contexts.

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Writing Assistants work closely with the Legal Writing Professor to whom they are assigned and provide guidance and mentoring to first-year students. Writing Assistants help with problem selection and generating model answers, hold office hours to assist first-year students with research, help create and grade research and citation exercises, occasionally help with class preparation and/or presentation, and assist with oral argument in the spring. Writing Assistants generally do not play a major role in teaching and grading first-year students. Writing Assistants are expected to attend the Legal Research and Writing Course to which they are assigned and meet with the Professor weekly. Writing Assistants are expected to be available to first-year students and to work well without intensive supervision. Writing Assistants can expect to spend an average of six to eight hours a week fulfilling their duties, although this may vary from week to week. Writing Assistants receive 2 Pass/Fail credit hours each semester (for a total of 4 credit hours). Some positions are for the year; others are for one semester only, depending upon the professor's teaching schedule.

Course Description:
This course will examine the laws and policies that
punish, surveil, or impose other forms of social control
on youth across various carceral systems. While primarily
focusing on the juvenile and criminal legal systems, it
will also explore similar mechanisms in family
regulation, crimmigration, and the education system, such
as foster care, immigration detention, and the school-to-
prison pipeline. Additionally, the course will
incorporate critical analyses of how the unique
developmental traits of children, adolescents, and
emerging adults impact, or should impact, the legal
frameworks that apply to them. Course materials will draw
from a variety of sources, including judicial opinions,
statutes, scholarly articles, and popular media content.
By the end of the course, students will develop a
critical understanding of the systemic challenges facing
youth in these contexts and explore potential avenues for
transformative change.
