W74 LAW 658YPretrial Practice and Settlement3.0 Units
Description:Enrollment limit: 12 students per section. Drop deadline: Monday, August 19, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. Prerequisite: Civil Procedure. Course work in Ethics, Evidence, Employment Law, and Employment Discrimination may be helpful if taken before or simultaneously with this course, but are not prerequisites. Pretrial Practice and Settlement will focus on developing the skills necessary for effective client representation at the pretrial stage of litigation, from the initial client interview through settlement negotiations. Several sections of this course are offered, each of which meets at a different time with a different instructor. In this course, students will litigate two civil cases. Successful completion of the written and in-class exercises will require mastery of basic lawyering skills and the ability to analyze factual situations under the appropriate substantive laws. Students must complete legal research throughout the semester in order to learn and correctly apply the governing rules. There will be weekly reading assignments and regular written assignments, including pleadings, discovery requests, motions, and settlement documents. Students will also participate in simulations of the lawyering process in class each week. Attendance and preparation are required. A STUDENT WHO MISSES MORE THAN TWO CLASSES OR WHO MISSES ANY CLASS WITHOUT FIRST INFORMING THE INSTRUCTOR IS SUBJECT TO REQUIRED WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COURSE - this includes partial absences and absences for school activities (e.g., moot court, mock trial, etc.).

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.
