Introduction to U.S. Law and Methods

Save Cancel My Note:

This course is designed to introduce distinctive aspects of the U.S. legal system. The goal is to learn how law is found, made and changed in the U.S., rather than to focus on any particular area of law. The objective is to learn largely through assuming the role of a lawyer resolving a practical client problem with U.S. legal sources, methods and institutions. The course is organized by various sources of law: common law; statutes and regulations; constitutional law and case law; and interpreting and applied enacted law. In addition, the jury trial and the importance of procedure are covered. In each subject, the class formulates what appears to be distinctive in the U.S. system.

Legal Writing & Analysis

Save Cancel My Note:

This skills course introduces students to a variety of concepts related to the practice of law, including: gathering information and working with clients; researching and finding answers to legal questions by locating, reviewing, and synthesizing pertinent authority; performing a predictive legal analysis by employing analogical reasoning techniques; providing effective advice in a structured piece of professional legal writing; negotiating a settlement of a dispute with opposing counsel; working with legal forms and transactional documents; and performing a thorough critique of a third party's legal writing. Students will learn these concepts through a combination of live and asynchronous coursework, and students will also learn how to locate, update, and evaluate varied sources of law through complementary exercises in a major legal research platform. In addition to responding to written prompts in the asynchronous lecture series, students will complete four major assignments in the course: the aforementioned research module; a predictive research memorandum; a transactional document (settlement agreement); and a group presentation of a legal writing critique. The class will be graded on a modified pass/fail basis: HP (3.94), P, LP (2.98), F (2.50).

This course is designed to introduce foreign-trained lawyers to U.S. contracts. The course will be run using the Socratic method. Students are expected to participate in class discussions and will be called on at random. In addition to learning principles behind U.S. theories of contractual obligation, the course is intended to provide instruction in "how to succeed" in a US law school class. Each week will include one session per week of detailed review of the week in class, focusing on strengthening academic skills necessary for effective participation and course management.

Civil Procedure

Save Cancel My Note:

This course is designed to introduce foreign-trained lawyers to the process of U.S. civil litigation, focusing on such topics as the choice of court, the sequence of events in pre-trial and trial practice, and the effect of judgments. In addition, the course is intended to provide students with the skills necessary to read and analyze American judicial decisions and statutes. Besides lecturing, the instructor uses class discussions to teach the material, so students are expected to participate in the discussions and will be called on at random. As a result, students need to be fully prepared before each synchronous (live) class. Although the course is designed for foreign-trained lawyers, students in the MLS program who are candidates for the litigation concentration are welcome to take the course with prior approval. It helps to have some familiarity with litigation prior to taking the course, but that is not a prerequisite.

Professional Responsibility

Save Cancel My Note:

This course is part of the Online LLM curriculum. The goal of this course is to help students understand and resolve the ethical dilemmas that practicing lawyers face in the United States. Among the subjects that the course will examine are the nature and types of lawyer regulation, client-attorney relationships, confidentiality rules, conflicts of interest, duties to courts, adversaries and third parties, client solicitation and billing, and access to legal services. The course will use as its foundational rules the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct and will also consider ethical duties arising under common law and other sources of authority. Most of the classes will focus on the skills of identifying and solving the ethical dilemmas lawyers face in practice and on the professional values of providing competent legal representation, improving the legal profession, and promoting justice and fairness. Regular class attendance and participation are required.

Business Associations

Save Cancel My Note:

This course will serve as an introduction to the law governing business associations. State law typically controls the formation, operation, and governance of business associations in the United States. The course begins by analyzing the law governing the formation and operation of the most basic forms of business relationships: those between employer and employee and between partners. The bulk of the course will then focus on the law applicable to corporations: the most specific, detailed, and well-developed body of law applicable to a particular form of business association. The final week will consider the more recent form of the limited liability company and compare and contrast it to the more detailed set of rules applicable to corporations. In the United States, the state of Delaware is the leading source of corporate law. Thus, the course will focus primarily on Delaware law. However, we will also be looking at the Model Business Corporation Act, which serves as the basis for the corporate law in a number of other states, as well as court cases from a number of other states as well. Given the disparity in law across states, lawyers in the real world must carefully study the law of the particular state in which a business is operating before providing any advice to clients.

International Business Transactions

Save Cancel My Note:

Cross-border business transactions are the mainstay of the modern global economy, and very few transactions can be negotiated or performed without due consideration of implications that may arise in such an international environment. Accordingly, understanding of the legal aspects of private transactions carried out across national borders can be indispensable to the modern legal practice. This three unit course will provide a survey of such issues, including transnational sales, cross-border operations (including branch offices and subsidiaries), international business combinations (including mergers and joint ventures), and the role of international law (including treaties and international organizations such as the WTO and IMF). A series of problems will be used to explore the dynamics of planning, negotiating, creating and executing cross-border transactions. The course grade will be based on a final examination, which will consist primarily of short essay questions, and class participation. The final will be open book. Although not required, it would be helpful to have taken or be taking International Law.

Constitutional Law

Save Cancel My Note:

This course will examine federalism issues under the Constitution, including judicial review, the commerce clause, separation of powers, and intergovernmental immunity. We will address fundamental questions such as the nature of a constitution, the foundations of judicial power, the forms of judicial review, the role of courts in different types of political systems, the institutional design of constitutional courts, and the evolution of constitutionalism on a global scale. We will pay particular attention to the development of the Fourteenth Amendment's liberty and equality guarantees, and discuss the appropriate roles of text, structure, history, and prudence in constitutional interpretation. In discussing these questions, we will examine how political and social change has influenced the resolution of constitutional disputes and how non-judicial actors, as well as courts, have constructed constitutional meanings.

Corporate Compliance

Save Cancel My Note:

What causes companies to break the law? How do we incentivize them not to? Who should we blame when they do? These are the core questions of corporate compliance and the focus of this class. Rather than reading several court decisions, this class will work primarily from case studies of recent compliance failures. Our goal will be to study what went wrong at the company level and whether the relevant laws are effectively designed to prevent the misconduct. We will also cover theories of regulatory enforcement and punishment. This course will be interesting for those considering compliance positions as well as those interested in regulatory agency and corporate defense practice.

Federal Taxation of Partnerships

Save Cancel My Note:

***COURSE IS ONLY OFFERED TO STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE MLS/LL.M TAX PROGRAMS This course will cover the basic rules for taxing partnerships under the Internal Revenue Code. It will include lectures and problems addressing entity classification, formation, distributive share, allocation, distribution, inside basis, outside basis, liabilities, liquidations, transactions between a partner and the partnership, and acquisitions and dispositions of partnership interests. Preparation will be required prior to each session and failure to do so will almost certainly impair a student's ability to participate fully in successive sessions. Students should have taken Federal Income taxation prior to registering for this course. Students are strongly encouraged to procure the latest edition of The Logic of Subchapter K, Laura and Noel Cunningham.
