This course will further develop and strengthen students' legal analysis and problem-solving skills. Using a practice-oriented approach, the class puts students in the position of new associates at a law firm working with a senior partner (the professor). The course focuses on enhancing fundamental lawyering skills such as reading comprehension, rule mastery, issue spotting, outlining, the mechanics of legal analysis, and strong writing. Throughout the course, students will have multiple opportunities for hands-on practice of these skills through focused drills, group exercises, and workbook activities. The course enhances learning by providing students with individual feedback to learn how to evaluate their work and see a clear pathway for consistent improvement. Evaluation will be based on (1) Good faith completion of a Diagnostic Exam; (2) Timely completion of all quizzes, in-class assignments, and homework assignments; (3) Class Participation; (4) Compliance with Attendance Policy; (5) Midterm Exam; and (6) Final Exam.
