Fundamentals of Legal Drafting
SLN #: 40305
Course Prefix: LAW-691
Course Section: 002
Credit Hours: 2
Instructor(s): Langenfeld
Course Description:
Are you interested in transactional practice? Do you anticipate drafting contracts, leases, or other kinds of agreements during your legal career? This Intersession course will teach students fundamental writing skills applicable to drafting normative legal documents. Our efforts will not be spent on learning the doctrinal law of any one area, but rather will be directed toward learning techniques applicable to all legal drafting. We will spend time learning how to determine a client's objectives and meet them in the resulting document. We will cover the steps of drafting, paying particular attention to the research necessary to determine the proper substance of the document, the organization of the document, drafting style and usage, definitions, legal consequences, and rules of interpretation. Finally, we will learn to draft documents with accuracy, clarity, brevity, simplicity, and proper tone. Students can expect a workshop-like, hands-on course with an intensive writing component that will require much of their attention during the intersession period. Students can also expect to complete graded collaborative assignments.
Course will meet May 18, 20, 22, 26, 27, and 29 from 10:00 am to 12:15.

Business Organizations
SLN #: 47173
Course Prefix: LAW-654
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 4
Instructor(s): Lynk
Course Description:
This course describes how business organizations impact the work of all lawyers regardless of the field in which they ultimately focus. A basic understanding of the organization and management of business enterprises, and the law of agency, partnership, and corporations, is routinely needed across a broad and diverse range of legal specializations.
We study how businesses make money and how lawyers help them. We study how businesses are regulated and why. We study how companies raise money, spend money, and pay taxes. We study the legal standard of conduct expected of companies and their owners and managers.
Special attention is given to a broad view of the course content to make it relevant to lawyers with various professional interests including for example, litigation, domestic relations, intellectual property, real estate, environmental, public interest law, trusts and estates, employment, entertainment, sports, commercial, constitutional, international law, and for lawyers in large and small firms, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and regulated industries, as well as corporation law departments.
The class focuses on a hypothetical business and the legal issues of formation, capitalization, operations, and merger. Our analysis follows this business as it might evolve through the various types of business organizations as a sole proprietorship, general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and corporation.
The major focus of the course is on the most popular form of business organization, the corporation, both public and private. We study how corporations are used to raise and manage capital, allocate risk, and divide ownership and management prerogatives. We focus on the responsibilities of boards of directors, the rights of shareholders, the issuance of stock, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance.
The course analyzes basic business and legal decisions faced by business people. We also examine broader policy questions such as how business needs shape laws and regulations in the United States and, conversely, how laws and regulations promote and impede business.
No background in business, accounting, or finance is required. This course is not open to students who have taken Business Associations I or II.
ATTENDANCE POLICY: Attendance and participation is expected. Points will be given for participation up to the maximum permitted under the law school grading policy. Students will be called upon to participate. Substantial information will be delivered in class lectures that is not in the written course materials.

Evidence
SLN #: 41322
Course Prefix: LAW-605
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 3
Instructor(s): Baier
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 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.
This class will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays from 1:30 - 4:30pm starting on Wednesday, June 3. The last class will be Monday, June 29. One make-up class will be necessary during the semester. Tuesday, June 30 will be a reading day and the final exam will be administered at 1:30pm on Wednesday, July 1.

Students enrolled in the Civil Justice Clinic represent clients in civil disputes and administrative proceedings with faculty supervision. The Civil Justice Clinic is primarily handling the following types of civil cases: predatory mortgage lending cases, tenants rights, equity squimming cases, housing appeals and fraudulent rent-to-own housing schemes. In addition, clients may include employees who have suffered discrimination in the workplace, children who have been denied benefits or services, employees involved in wage-recovery actions, persons who have been wrongfully denied unemployment benefits, consumers who have been defrauded in commercial transactions, and individuals facing the prospect of civil litigation. Students are responsible for handling all aspects of civil and administrative practice, including: representing clients in contested administrative hearings; drafting pleadings, motions and appellate briefs; interviewing and counseling clients; conducting discovery in civil litigation; representing clients in hearings, arbitrations, mediations and trials; and occasionally presenting oral argument in Arizona appellate courts and the Ninth Circuit. Most semesters, each student works on a written project, such as a motion, brief, or complaint.
The Civil Justice Clinic is a graded course (6 credits), with grading based on a number of established criteria, including diligence and thoroughness in representing clients, and classroom participation. Students are expected to spend approximately 300 hours in the Clinic during the semester. As a general guideline, students are expected to work 30 hours per week in the clinic. The Civil Justice Clinic includes a mandatory seminar that focuses on simulation exercises in such matters as: courtroom advocacy, interviewing, client counseling, fact investigation, civil discovery, and negotiation.

Students enrolled in the Criminal Practice Clinic are responsible for prosecuting defendants charged with crimes within Maricopa County. Students are assigned to one of several City Prosecutors' offices or the County Attorney's office. Students are responsible for a full range of trial-related tasks, including interviews with victims, witnesses and police officers, pre-trial discovery, motion practice, and trial preparation all of which lead to the actual trying of the case. Students can expect to spend the maximum amount of time actually trying cases in the courtroom. The Clinic is structured so that students are initially assigned simple cases without defense attorneys to try. As the student gains experience, the student will be assigned more difficult cases. By the end of the semester each student should actually try a case to a jury. Faculty associate, Hugo Zettler, provides supervision of the Criminal Practice Clinic. The seminar component addresses various advocacy problems encountered by the students in court. It also includes simulation exercises in trial practice. Attendance at the seminar is mandatory. Evidence is a pre-requisite for the Criminal Practice Clinic. Trial Advocacy is not a prerequisite, but if students have been through this course, the skills are beneficial to students’ cases. Students may not take trial advocacy and the Criminal Practice Clinic within the same semester. Prior to signing up for the class, students must attend a Clinic Seminar meeting.

Independent Study
SLN #: 40806
Course Prefix: LAW-781
Course Section: 001
Credit Hours: 1-3
Instructor(s):
Course Description:
A student wishing to pursue independent study or fieldwork for credit must obtain approval of the Associate Dean and the consent of a faculty member to supervise a proposed project and must submit a statement in detail, defining the area of study and justifying the proposal. The faculty member assigns the amount of credit that the proposal justifies. In awarding credit to a student for an independent study paper, a faculty member should require a quantum of work from the student which approximates the amount of work expected from students enrolled in a regular course taken for the same number of credits. Faculty members should set minimum lengths for independent study papers based upon the complexity of the subject, the existing volume of literature on the topic, the number of redrafts required to complete the assignment, and the originality of the student's work product. Although exact guidelines cannot be formulated in awarding credit, past practices indicate that a paper of at least 50-75 pages, which has been redrafted one or more times after review by the faculty member, will be required for three credits. Papers of roughly 35-50 pages (with one redraft) should be required for two credits, and a minimum of 25 pages (with one redraft) for one credit.
An independent study can be either graded or pass/fail at the discretion of the supervising professor.

Post-Conviction Clinic
SLN #: 47132
Course Prefix: LAW-791
Course Section: 004
Credit Hours: 6
Instructor(s): Popko
Course Description:
The Post-Conviction Clinic is the newest of the live-client clinics at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. Students work to exonerate wrongfully convicted defendants and correct other manifest injustices such as convictions involving ineffective assistance of counsel and disproportionate sentencing. The Clinic may also review cases once actual innocence has been proven in an effort to understand how the wrongful convictions were reached, and to suggest ways to avoid the risk of such convictions in the future.
During the Spring 2009 Semester, the Clinic will focus on claims of factual innocence in murder, other non-negligent homicides, and forcible rape convictions where DNA evidence has the potential to exonerate an inmate. While doing so, the Clinic will work closely with the Arizona Justice Project, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, and the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission in implementing a million-dollar federal Department of Justice DNA Testing Assistance Grant. Thus, students will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with inmates, defense lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement, and investigators to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals.
