Federal Litigation in a Global Context: Methods and Practice (224B): This course continues with the winter simulation with students representing the plaintiff or defendant in a global torts case. Students submit and orally argue one persuasive brief on a motion in federal district court. Students build on their writing and oral advocacy skills with more emphasis on the lawyering practice. Students lead strategy sessions, conduct legal writing by email, meet and confer with opposing counsel, research, bluebook, peer edit, moot, judge, and orally argue a motion. This course depends on participation; attendance is mandatory. Spring grading reflects all non-written aspects of the work, including research, strategy, peer review, moots, and oral argument (including your roles as a judge and colleague), and professionalism. This course is open to first-year JD students only.
