Administrative agencies impact much of the public's
wellbeing. In addition, a large portion of federal law
comes from administrative agencies. This class examines
the institutional role and legitimacy of federal
administrative agencies. Topics will include: --the
source of administrative authority --the rationale for
delegation of authority to administrative agencies --
constitutional constraints on agency power --the
different forms of agency rulemaking/policymaking --
agency adjudication of facts and law --the scope and
purpose of judicial review of agency action --the degree
to which administrative agencies exercise--for better or
for worse!--executive, legislative and judicial powers.
The course will have an ILP focus
There will be weekly research assignments and three short
quizzes.
Limited to JD students only
This course explores various ways that lawyers use their
writing skills to create legal change beyond just
advocating for their client's goals. It will explore
theories about when legal change occurs and various roles
lawyers can play in creating change. It will also cover
options for creating legal change, such as clarifying the
law for non-lawyers, use of amicus briefs to bring
additional voices into litigation, advocacy for
regulatory changes through rulemaking, and use of ballot
measures to create direct change. Assignments will
include both revising existing sources and writing
documents for change.
Although taking secured transactions or another
bankruptcy course is recommended, there is no
prerequisite for this seminar.
In this course, students will review commonly tested document types, assess legal authorities and litigation documents, learn how performance tests are assessed, and write multiple performance tests throughout the semester. Feedback will be provided in a variety of modalities, including self-assessment, rubrics, and individual assessment from the professor.
The final grade will be based on group in-class
presentations, a final exam, and class participation and
attendance.
We will then look at state anti-cruelty laws including affirmative acts of cruelty, neglect, animal hoarding, and cruelty in activities such as hunting, rodeos, and animal racing. We will then look at animal trusts, including pet trusts, and how the use of trust law may lead to animals actually owning property. From there, we will look at guardianship arrangements, not only in the United States but also in other countries.
We will look at whether animals have standing to sue as well as other constitutional issues such as due process, the First Amendment, as well as whether zoo-bound chimps and elephants are entitled to file writs of habeas corpus or have the right to their own freedom.
We will then look at puppy mills, housing laws related to pets, service animals, and tort claims.
We will move away from domesticated animals and look at issues related to the wildlife trade, animal research, and whether a monkey and other animals can own a copyright. Next, we will look at one of the more important animal rights laws, the Endangered Species Act.
Finally, we will look at the laws related to farm animals, “humane” slaughter laws, and Ag-Gag laws. To wrap up, we will conduct a brief review of the origins of animal law, its current state, and its future trajectory.

This course describes how the laws governing business organizations impact the work of all lawyers. A basic understanding of the organization and management of business enterprises, and the law of agency, partnership, limited liability companies, corporations, and securities, is routinely needed across a diverse range of legal specializations.
Enrollment in all clinics is determined through an
application process.
The first class will be a lecture/demonstration on how
creative writing can aid and abet legal writing. The
remaining seven classes will consist of a lecture-
discussion
session and a writing workshop. Each student will write
and
post seven writing assignments on the class web site. We
will critique one another’s writings every week (both on-
line and in class). All students must write. Students
afflicted with writer’s block or unreliable Internet
connections should not take this course. Reliable email
service is essential. The class web site will run on
Canvas.
All students should be familiar with the usual process of
accessing, reviewing, and posting material to a Canvas
site.
The course will examine federal immigration laws, such as
the Immigration and Nationality Act, and their impact on
state and local criminal justice systems. It will also
cover the role of immigration enforcement agencies, such
as ICE or HSI, in the criminal justice system and the
impact of criminal justice policies, such as "sanctuary"
policies and 287(g) agreements, on immigrant communities.
Lastly, the course will examine the role of the courts in
interpreting and shaping crimmigration law.
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.

This course is designed to teach students legislative
lawyering and advocacy skills. These skills include
identifying and assessing issues susceptible to being
addressed by legislation; analyzing and selecting
legislative options for addressing such issues; drafting
statutory and other legislative materials; and developing
a coalition-building and media strategy for advocating
adoption of the proposed legislative solution. Readings
and guest speakers will focus on advanced and problem-
focused discussion of such topics as Congressional
powers, legislative process (including the functions of
legislative committees), relevant ethics issues
(including the regulation of lobbying), Presidential
vetoes and signing statements, statutory interpretation,
as well as case studies in successful legislative
advocacy campaigns.
Students will be required to draft a set of written
materials which will include a final paper containing
analysis of a problem susceptible to being addressed by
legislation, discussion of potential legislative options
for addressing it, selection of a preferred option, and
strategies for advocacy (including coalition-building and
media). Students may also be required to draft and submit
some or all of the following: proposed statutory
language; draft legislative history (report language,
colloquies, Congressional Record statements); talking
points; fact sheets; and testimony.

This class 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 the semester apply
what they are learning to the investigation, pleading,
discovering, negotiating and ultimately presenting a
hypothetical medical malpractice case.

In light of the interactive and practice-focused nature of this course, it will rely on student participation to a greater degree than in the typical law school course. For this reason, evaluation of the student performance will be based in part on participation. The precise grading criteria will be provided to students in the course syllabus prior to or at the first class session.
The bulk of this class is interactive and practice- focused, and therefore attendance is of particular importance. The instructors intend to give appropriate weight in grading to unexcused absence, tardiness, inadequate preparation, and poor class performance. Withdrawal for excessive absence will be recorded as a failing grade or as a withdrawal, at the instructors’ discretion.
20% of the grade will be determined by a paper presented at the end of the course. 80% of the grade will be determined by class participation, completion of the reading and weekly writing assignments.
1. the student writes a minimum of 3,750 words of a

practice oral arguments; and
3. the student rewrites the brief (or his/her portion
of the brief) under the supervision of the faculty
supervisor, following the competition.

The focus of this course is not on morality versus immorality, but on leadership, moral decision-making, and action. The course is comprised of three modules: (i) Moral Challenge, in which students explore fundamental moral problems and the strategies used to come to terms with them; (ii) Moral Reasoning, in which students are introduced to methods and modes of "moral reasoning" that help in justifying, or not justifying, decisions made in complex situations; and (iii) Moral Leadership, in which students confront examples of moral leadership per se.
In 13 sessions each two hours long, with readings in a multiplicity of settings ranging from ancient Greece to contemporary America, students learn to identify moral problems, to address them systematically, and to develop skills that aid them in their professional and personal lives.
Forty percent (40%) of the grade for the course is based on class participation and sixty percent (60%) on a paper, roughly 15 pages in length.
The roots of the Office of State Attorney General run
deep in American jurisprudence. All thirteen American
colonies had an attorney general and today all fifty
states provide legal services to state government
through an office of state attorney general that
possesses extraordinarily broad jurisdiction. In all
states but Hawaii, New Jersey, Wyoming and Alaska, the
Office is independent of the governor.
This combination of sweeping jurisdiction and
constitutional independence has produced a unique
American legal institution of growing importance.
Although most often discussed in the context of the
largest and most controversial of legal issues, the
real task of attorneys general and their staffs is to
deliver high quality legal advice that will guide
state government in a constitutional and ethical
manner. Although each state is unique, there is a
remarkable similarity between state attorneys general
when addressing similar challenges and issues.
This course will examine the unique nature of the
office of state attorney general, the limits of
jurisdiction, unique powers under consumer protection
laws, the ethical implications of representing the
public instead of an identifiable client, Supreme
Court practice, multistate advocacy, the decision not
to defend a state action, relations with private
attorneys, public corruption prosecutions, nonprofit
governance and other areas of interest (such as border
crime, polygamy, mortgage prosecutions, the states’
role in immigration reform, and marijuana and tobacco)
as time permits.
This course will be taught by two current federal prosecutors who handle international criminal investigations. One leads the Department of Justice’s charge for war crimes accountability in Ukraine and the other leads a task force whose aim is to disrupt and dismantle global human smuggling and trafficking organizations. In this course, students will examine the development of international criminal law and the various models of accountability for atrocity crimes (e.g., war crimes, crimes against humanity, the crime of aggression, genocide, torture) that have been utilized or that could be developed concerning criminal accountability processes. This will include the political and policy context in which these mechanisms are created and operate; the elements, theories of criminal liability, procedural and evidentiary requirements and required mental state of these crimes; and the jurisprudence that has developed in the various institutions. Although the focus will be on those institutions established since the 1990’s, which represent the modern era of international criminal justice, students will also study the origins of international criminal law, beginning with the immediate post-World War II era and the Nuremberg trials from which much of the modern international law regime developed. Students will also explore the development of new frontiers in international criminal law, using current and recent armed conflicts as discussion platforms or case studies. Novel areas of international criminal law and institutions, such as the establishment of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression (concerning Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine) will be addressed, as will key developmental phases in international criminal law associated with recent armed conflicts. Additional novel areas of international criminal law relating to atrocity crimes will also be explored as an overview (e.g., ecocide, cyber warfare, cultural property crimes, particularly as a method of cultural genocide). Finally, students will, at various points, view international criminal law through a comparative lens between international institutions and international legal frameworks and U.S. domestic criminal law (e.g., differences such as those involving evidence/admissibility, liability theories, charging mechanisms, rights of the accused, mens rea, etc.). In addition to the classroom instruction and discussion, students will have various projects and presentations, including for example, drafting proposals establishing an institution to address the crime of aggression and the pros and cons associated with different models. At the conclusion of the course, students should have a solid understanding of what is required to allege and prove atrocity crimes, the international humanitarian law framework that forms the basis of many of these crimes, and the various systems of international, hybrid, and other judicial mechanisms that have been employed to provide accountability for atrocity crimes.
On March 13, 1982, Young was killed in a mid-air
collision while serving his country, piloting a National
Guard airplane. In memory of Young and in tribute to him,
his friends, and colleagues in conjunction with the
Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys' Advisory Council (APAAC)
and the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona
State University, established the Truman R. Young, Jr.
Prosecutorial Fellowship.
The fellowship is designed to annually offer one third-
year law student the opportunity to participate in the
type of internship program Young found so rewarding.
The program is sponsored by the Arizona Prosecuting
Attorneys’ Advisory Council and administered by the
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.
Recent elections in the United States have been the
subject of fraud and manipulation allegations that are
usually associated with elections overseas. As a
result, much needed attention is being placed on a
range of potential reforms to the “systems” for
electing government officials, to the legal framework
for elections, to the use of technology for election
administration, and to the conduct of election
campaigns. At the same time, elections overseas
continue to draw considerable attention as harbingers
of populist discontent, illiberal democracy, provokers
of conflict and instability, even as many elections
occur in environments where the electorate lacks
confidence in the legal framework and the election
administrators.
This course will address these issues by focusing
first on the evolution of election law in the United
States from the birth of the Republic through the 2018
mid-terms. The course will then shift to the
international setting, reviewing various international
instruments, the role of international observers and
examining several controversial elections that have
occurred during the past three decades. The closing
section of the course will focus on several
contemporary challenges, including the role of
technology and the rise of electoral populism. And
throughout the course, we will follow the legal
administrative issues that emerge in the context of
the unfolding 2020 elections in the United States and
what lessons the United States might learn from the
conduct of elections in other countries.
Victims in Criminal Procedure will explore the
historical and evolving role of crime victims in the
criminal justice process. The law and litigation of crime
victims’ rights at the state and federal levels will be
examined. Among the topics that will be considered are
constitutional and statutory rights for crime victims,
the effect of these rights on the rights of the defendant
and the criminal justice system generally. The question
of enforcing victims’ rights and case law developments
will also be considered.
This course focuses on an advanced topic of legal
writing, the writing done by judicial clerks and
judges. The course structure will incorporate (1)
lectures and short exercises, (2) multiple written
assignments (such as a bench memorandum and a judicial
opinion), and (3) occasional oral presentations or
questioning of advocates. We will examine and practice
the structure, analytical and rhetorical techniques,
and tone of both trial court and appellate court
documents. Through assigned readings and guest
speakers’ insights, we will discuss the experiences of
being a judicial clerk and being a judge, questions of
ethics and professional development, and “hot topic”
issues currently facing the judiciary. Although the
course has an obvious appeal to students who hope to
be judicial clerks, all students can improve their
writing abilities through this writing-intensive
course. Fall 2025

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:
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.

Course Description:
Federal courts are regularly asked to curb governmental power and state courts are also now objects of legal advocacy. These courts shape important policies like immigration law and sanctuary cities, voting rights, environmental law, and criminal justice. At the same time, local courts dole out justice in everyday contexts like traffic cases, housing cases, and debt collection cases. This class will explore judicial federalism—the division of judicial power between federal and state courts—with a focus on the administration and nature of justice in our smallest courts. Students will have the option to write either a single research paper or multiple shorter essays.

Course Description:
Nearly every field in the practice of law now involves some interaction between law and science and technology - - whether it be litigation, administrative law, environmental law, constitutional law, telecommunications law, health law, corporate law, employment law, contract law, property law and many others. Lawyers who are knowledgeable and comfortable in dealing with the scientific and technological aspects underlying many legal issues are in great demand at law firms, companies, government agencies and other providers of legal services. This survey course is intended to provide the student with an introduction to the various ways in which the legal system interacts with science and technology, and the skills and knowledge necessary to address such issues. The course will examine the interactions and conflicts between law and science using a series of illustrative case studies addressing current issues such as the internet, cloning, air pollution, the Daubert standard for admission of scientific evidence, tobacco research, the Microsoft antitrust case, electric vehicles, digital copyright, genetically modified foods, nanotechnology, anti-terrorism technology, global warming and privacy. No special background or expertise in science or technology is required to benefit from this course. Students can elect to take a take-home exam or write a research paper (20-30 pp.) for the course. This course qualifies as a “core course” for the LS&I Certificate program.

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

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
Other than the authority given to a soldier in time of war, few in government have the power of a prosecutor. A prosecutor may methodically and intentionally seek to take the life of another. A prosecutor may seek to remove a person from society, put them in prison, and keep them there until they die. Society gives prosecutors broad discretion. Certainly a prosecutor must follow the rules of law and ethics, but is that all we as a society should ask of a prosecutor? Many decisions made by a prosecutor are guided by ethics, others decisions require that a prosecutor look beyond the rules of ethics. When the rule of law and ethics allow for the death penalty in a specific case, what other considerations may a prosecutor use when determining whether to seek the ultimate penalty? When thousands of crimes occur in a single day, how should a prosecutor determine which cases are deserving of the government's resources? This course will focus on how a prosecutor should exercise his or her discretion. We will begin with the rules of ethics and standard manuals such as the Justice Manual. We will then cover widely accepted guidance for prosecutors such as Justice Jackson's famous speech to U.S. Attorneys and Deputy Attorney General James Comey's writing on the courage to say no. The course will cover a wide variety specific prosecutorial decisions such as U.S. Attorney General Elliot Richardson's refusal to obey President Nixon's order to fire the Watergate Special Prosecutor. The course instructor was a career prosecutor for more than 16 years, serving at the Arizona Attorney General's Office as an Assistant Attorney General, and at the U.S. Attorney's Office as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. He was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona from 2001 to 2007, when he was fired for opposing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' decision to seek the death penalty in a homicide case. The format for the course will be lecture and group discussion. The course will be graded primarily on a multiple choice final exam. The course is recommended for any student who is considering a practice in criminal law.

Course Description:
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are rapidly evolving technologies that are already disrupting the practice and substance of law. The first blockchain, Bitcoin, has become an international sensation as it value skyrockets and plummets. But Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are just one small corner of blockchain applications – it is also being applied to supply chain management, financial and banking functions, stocks and bonds, property and land deed ownership, wills and estates, health data, and eventually even government functions such as taxation and voting. It is also changing the practice of law, as some new law firms exist wholly on the blockchain, employing a radically different business model for law. This course will familiarize students with the technology behind blockchain, and explore the legal and policy applications and implications of blockchains and cryptocurrencies.

Course Description:
Corporations and other clients of attorneys sometimes get involved in major scandals or crises as a result of misconduct or malfeasance. Examples are numerous and include Theranos, Boeing, opiate manufacturers, Enron, tobacco manufacturers, Facebook/Cambridge Analytica, and Uber (sexual harassment). In each of these scandals, inside and outside lawyers unfortunately played a contributing role in allowing and trying to cover-up the misconduct. This seminar will examine the factors that cause lawyers to engage in such unethical practices, and how attorneys can protect themselves from crossing the line into unethical conduct. In addition to protecting the attorney’s ethical position, the seminar will explore how attorneys can help prevent clients from engaging in misconduct. It will also examine the role of the attorney in discovering, investigating, disclosing, mitigating and resolving misconduct after it has occurred. The seminar will primarily use a case study approach that uses real world examples of misconduct by corporations and other entities to study the role of the lawyer in these high- profile incidents. The objective of the seminar is to help future lawyers identify and effectively manage risks of misconduct.

Instructor(s): Cabot

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.

Understanding the differences that separate state
attorneys general and the 13,000 lawyers practicing in
their offices across the country from the rest of the
legal profession is important, not only for lawyers
who wish to someday work for a state AG, but for all
who will be called on to negotiate or litigate either
in coordination with or against a state attorney
general's office. In other words, almost everyone who
practices law needs to understand the state attorneys
general!

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 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).

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.
