Recent Cases

• Class number: 13169
• Term: Spring 2007
• Instructor:
  • Paul Chill

In this course, a different professor each week presents a recent case of special interest in his or her chosen field and leads a brief discussion on it. Class sessions are open to the entire law school community. The course is designed to expose students to a wide range of subjects and perspectives that might otherwise elude them in the course of their legal studies. It also functions as a survey of cutting-edge issues in the law, and underscores both the law's vibrancy and the advocate's need to keep current. Assessment of students will be based on two very short (3-5 page) papers submitted prior to any two classes, discussing the reading for those classes. Grading will be pass/fail only.
