A series of litigation-related research and writing exercises will be assigned. These may take the form of office memoranda, pretrial motions and memoranda of points and authorities, appellate briefs, or court opinions in simulated cases. Depending on class size, oral presentations or trial or appellate practice simulations also may be part of the course. In addition, some written problem sets to test your understanding of relevant scientific principles may be assigned. Grades will be based on the written and oral exercises and answers to problems. These will be critiqued by the instructors, and there will be opportunities for rewriting. Judge Susan Ehrlich (ret.) may participate in teaching the course and evaluating the exercises.
