W74 LAW 612FArbitration Law Theory and Practice3.0 Units
Description:Enrollment limit: 24. Prerequisite: Negotiation. Drop Deadline: Monday, August 21, 2017. This course introduces students to the law, theory, and practice of Arbitration. The course will address the interplay between the jurisdiction of the courts and the authority of the arbitrator, examining common law, the Uniform Arbitration Act used by most states, and the Federal Arbitration Act. The course develops legal and theoretical frameworks through case studies and articles, in which students examine and extrapolate lessons from both practitioners and theorists. The course also focuses on the analytical and interpersonal skills necessary for attorneys to be successful in arbitration, whether as an advocate or as an arbitrator. The course mixes the case-study approach with simulations in multiple contexts, including consumer, commercial, financial, and employment disputes, which allow the student to work through an arbitration from the initial arbitration agreement to details of the actual arbitration hearing. Students undertake several written assignments, including drafting an arbitration agreement, Arbitration Claim, Motion to Compel Arbitration, Motion to Confirm Award, and Motion to Vacate Award, as well as solving ethical problems. Students present oral arguments on the motions and participate in two mock arbitrations. Student grades are based on written and oral assignments throughout the semester, preparation for and participation in class discussions and simulations, and a take-home final paper. Students are graded according to the standard numeric grading scale. Due to the ongoing writing assignments which are reviewed in class discussions after each assignment is turned in, and due to the small size of the class in which writing styles become very apparent, this course will not be graded anonymously. 3 units.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
