This course will focus on developing legal analysis skills, as applied to course material that students commonly will have learned throughout their law school education. While the focus of much of students’ legal training is on learning to appreciate legal ambiguity and argue both sides of different cases, this course focuses on the essential skill of being able to identify and apply core legal rules from a variety of domains, such as business associations, civil procedure, criminal law, criminal procedure, evidence, constitutional law, contracts, property, and torts, so that students are able to identify and assess the merits of possible causes of action for clients prior to conducting further legal research. The course aims to prepare students for professional life after law school, including both the bar examination and legal practice. Sessions in class will focus on addressing legal problems, typically represented in multiple choice questions, essay questions, or questions combining both modalities. Class sessions will not include reviews of substantive law, but students will be expected to review substantive law and take practice questions in preparing for class. This course is not intended to be a replacement for a traditional bar review course. Mid-term and final examinations (multiple choice), in addition to numerous ungraded assignments.
