Jurimetrics, The Journal of Law, Science, and
Technology, published quarterly, is the journal of the
American Bar Association Section of Science and
Technology and the Center for the Study of Law, Science,
and Technology of the ASU College of Law.
The process of jury selection is an important and
fundamental part of trial practice. This course surveys
the bounds of voir dire practice in state and federal
courts and addresses variations in jury size and
unanimity requirements between state and federal courts.
Statutory and case law discussion will focus on the
nature and number of preemptory strikes and important
narrow issues such as utilization of race as a factor in
the jury selection process. Appellate review of jury
bias, jury misconduct, and the like will also be a focus
of the course.
This seminar provides students with an overview of
classic and modern research in the field of law and
psychology. Students should obtain an understanding of
how psychology has been and could be used to inform
law and social policy in a variety of civil and
criminal domains.
No background in statistics or experimental
methodology is required.
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 fall semester begins,
and write 25 additional pages during the semester.
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.
A general introduction to patent law and policy. A patent
is a federally-granted bundle of entitlements that
include, most importantly, the right to prevent others
from making, using, selling, or importing the patented
invention for a defined period of time. The course will
cover a little history of patent law; the policy
rationales for granting or withholding patents; and a
detailed consideration of the patentability requirements
(patentable subject matter, utility, novelty,
nonobviousness, and disclosure), patent infringement,
defenses and limitations to patent rights, and remedies.
Grades are based 70% on the final 30% on in class
participation.
Students require no technical background for this
course. Students are encouraged, but not required to
take the patent law course or IP survey course prior
to taking this class.

The course also necessarily addresses substantive areas
of trademark law, which often provide a basis for refusal
of registration, including that a mark is generic, merely
descriptive, misdescriptive, geographically descriptive,
contains scandalous matter, or that a mark is likely to
cause confusion with an existing mark or prior
application. Therefore, a basic understanding of
intellectual property law is recommended but not
essential.

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.
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.Fall 2026

Course Books: View List of Books
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.

practice. Materials to be announced. No background in

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.

Evidence covers the basic rules that govern the

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 primarily
taught by the problem method, with a focus on the
practical application of the rules in a trial setting.
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.
Students should make every effort to take Evidence before
taking Trial Advocacy or clinical courses.

Instructor(s): Weinstein-Tull
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course examines the power of federal courts to shape
American governance—and the doctrines that limit that
power. Federal courts stand at the center of our
constitutional system: they enforce federal rights,
oversee the actions of state and federal officials, and
mediate disputes between sovereign governments. Yet their
authority is tightly constrained by doctrines defining
when federal courts may act at all.
The course explores three core doctrinal areas: (1) the
limits on federal judicial power; (2) federal court
oversight of state, federal, and tribal governments; and
(3) the relationship between federal and state courts in
a system of divided sovereignty. In exploring these
doctrines, we will cover some of the most contentious and
interesting issues facing the courts today: what is the
nature of the rule of law and how is it enforced by the
federal courts? What is the status of civil rights laws
in this country and how are they succeeding or failing?
What is the place of the federal courts in our system of
laws?

Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
From the 17th-century coffeehouses of London to the high-
frequency algorithms of Silicon Valley, insurance has
always been the bedrock of global commerce. This course
charts how the industry is moving from traditional
customs and paper records to the modern era of generative
AI, Big Data, and sophisticated predictive modeling.
Students will examine the unique U.S. regulatory system
and the "Insurtech" revolution, exploring how non-human
algorithms now challenge established doctrines of
underwriting and the duty to defend. We will analyze how
cultural values and public policy influence regulators as
they grapple with the shift from human-led risk
assessment to autonomous machine learning.
To bridge the gap between historical doctrine and future
disruption, the course features intensive in-class
participation and direct engagement with the instructor
and guest speakers, including entrepreneurs who are
currently disrupting the analytics landscape. You will
not just study the law; you will practice it. The
semester culminates in a final oral simulation where
students are paired as opposing counsel to negotiate a
settlement in a complex coverage dispute. By applying
statutory law to the technological frontiers of tomorrow,
such as algorithmic bias and autonomous liability,
students will master the legal mechanics required to
navigate the next century of insurance practice.

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. Co-teaching: Lucy Tournas

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.

"Plea Bargaining" is a hands-on, practical course
designed to enrich students' understanding of how
defenders and prosecutors negotiate guilty pleas in
criminal cases. Because most criminal convictions are the
result of plea bargaining, it is an essential skill for
anyone looking to practice criminal law. We will explore
guilty plea jurisprudence, client-centered
representation, victims' rights, the ethics of plea
bargaining, collateral consequences of guilty pleas, and
best practices for working with clients and opposing
counsel. We will also discuss negotiation theory in the
context of criminal practice and simulate the pre-trial
processes necessary to reach a plea agreement.

SLN #: 63447
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 1007
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Charlton
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.

Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Cloar;Patel
Course Books: View List of Books
Course Description:
This course will focus upon the valuation of interests in
real property and closely-held businesses. The valuation
principles to be examined apply in business and economic
damages litigation, private property rights disputes,
eminent domain proceedings, family law disputes,
securities and insurance actions, and almost every other
type of litigation which involves a determination of the
value of, or damage to, an interest in real property or
in a business enterprise. The same principles apply in a
wide range of business transactions including mergers,
acquisitions, financing and estate planning. This
introductory valuation and damages course is specifically
designed for prospective real estate, land use,
corporate, tax and trial attorneys who anticipate
practice in the real estate or business law fields. With
respect to real estate valuation, the entire appraisal
process will examined, including the provisions to the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice
(USPAP). The three methodologies for valuing interests in
real property (cost analysis, sales comparison analysis,
and income analysis) will each be explored. Special
issues, such as the valuation of leasehold interests will
also be discussed. With respect to business valuation
(including the valuation of professional practices), the
course will examine the different standards of value, the
compilation and analysis of necessary financial
information, and the different methodologies available to
assist in the valuation process. Among the specific
methodologies which will be discussed will be the
guideline publicly traded company method, the capitalized
excess earnings method, and capitalized economic income
methods. Discounts for lack of control and lack of
marketability will also be discussed. One class session
will be devoted to a demonstration courtroom examination
of a prominent business valuation expert. No prior
accounting or mathematics training is required.

Course Description:
The successful lawyer will be presented with moral and

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.

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.

Course Description:
Transportation policy plays an outsize role in important
areas of the economy and society, including housing
affordability, urban vitality, public safety, and carbon
emissions. Law, in turn, plays a central and
underappreciated role in shaping transportation policy.
This course will introduce students to the law and policy
of transportation.
The course will emphasize the evolving purposes and
history of transportation policy, with readings and
discussion of economic, social, spatial, technical, and
other factors. We will focus on surface transportation
modes. Each of these modes is regulated to varying
degrees by federal, state, local, and even international
law in diverse fields, including local government law,
land use, administrative law, environmental law, and
traffic law. No background in these areas is required,
only an interest in the subject and an openness to
reading work from varied academic disciplines.

Instructor(s): Rapp

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.
