Advance Assignments - Spring 2013
| Professor | Course Name | Assignments and Documents | Date Posted |
| Professor Anderson | Lawyering Process II |
Welcome back to Lawyering Process. I will be continuing with you where you left off with Professor Brewer last semester. Please register for the TWEN course page called Lawyering Process Anderson at www.lawschool.westlaw.com. For our first class on Monday, first watch the introductory video that I have posted on TWEN. You can access it by clicking the Web links to class videos button in the navigation bar within the TWEN course page. After watching the video, read these items posted in the TWEN course materials: Clinton v. Jones petitioner's brief and Clinton v. Jones respondent's brief. You may skim the briefs as a whole just to get a sense of how a brief is put together, but read closely the sections of both briefs entitled Statement (or Statement of the Case ) and Summary of Argument. We will discuss these briefs in class on Monday. Also, I inadvertently caused confusion at the bookstore about which books were required for this course. To be clear, you will not need to purchase Making Your Case for this spring, and may return it if you already purchased it. We will continue to use the Edwards text and the Oates writing style book that you used in the fall. See you Monday in Room 259. |
