- Intermediate Analysis Course
This small-group course will provide second-year law students with comprehensive instruction, guidance, and feedback to develop analytical and communicative skills necessary to engage in effective legal analysis. The course will stress legal analysis skills utilizing inter-subject cases and materials concerning Information Privacy Law (an intriguing field of law exploring the abilities of individuals to control personal information within an open and free society). In particular, the substantive content of the course will focus on developing analytical and communicative strengths using both first-year subjects (such as privacy torts, contracts, criminal law, and constitutional protections against privacy invasions) in addition to expanding students’ abilities to analyze legal problems into novel areas (such as statutory schemes for privacy protection and criminal procedure issues raised by informational searches). The initial class meetings will be devoted to diagnostic testing of analytical abilities in both written and multiple-choice formats. Subsequent class meetings will require submissions of practical writing assignments with periodic in-class presentations of written work. The final grade will be based on a final exam given during the exam period. In addition, the course can satisfy the upper-level writing requirement with a required writing assignment.
