Clinical, Externship and Practicum Course Notes Spring 2017

Clinics Students receive credit for the scheduled, required class sessions and for work in the clinic under faculty supervision. In the Legal Aid, Low Income Taxpayer, Special Education, and Ninth Circuit Appellate Advocacy clinics, students and professors will determine the work schedule for students in the clinical practices off campus. The Community Justice Clinic, the Special Education Advocacy Clinic, and the Restoration and Justice Clinic meet and work primarily on-campus in the clinical suite. For the Ninth Circuit Appellate Advocacy Clinic, students must apply and register only with approval of the professor, and students must commit to working two terms in the clinic. In the Legal Aid and Low Income Taxpayer Clinics, students will work primarily at the Union Rescue Mission in downtown Los Angeles. In the Ninth Circuit Appellate Advocacy Clinic, students will work primarily with the professor at his firm in Burbank. All classes will be at the School of Law. The Fair Employment and Housing Mediation Clinic will be housed in the Mediation Division at California’s civil rights enforcement agency, The Department of Fair Employment and Housing. This class requires a special application. Anyone interested in participating should speak with Professor Stephanie Blondell in the Straus Office. In the Mediation Clinic students have the opportunity to mediate actual disputes. The Mediation Clinic will require 2 hours of class time weekly (scheduled) and approximately 8 hours of fieldwork per week. Students are advised to leave two time blocks (2 mornings, 2 afternoons or 1 of each) in their schedule to accommodate mediations at various courthouses throughout Los Angeles County. All clinical courses fulfill the Pro Bono Service Requirement and are graded as High Pass/Pass/Credit/Fail. Practicums For the Veterans Law Practicums in Ventura County and in Los Angeles County and the Employment Law Practicum, students must meet the minimum requirements outlined in the course description. Students must also submit a resume, letter of interest and writing sample for lawyers at the field placement to review and rank their preferred candidates. Students will be selected and notified of their selection in the practicum. These Practicum courses satisfy the pro bono requirement. Practicum courses are dedicated field placement courses with collaborating agencies. Students apply to the placements through the Clinical Program office as directed and will commit to the required days of work in the designated practice areas.

Clinical, Externship and Practicum Course Notes Spring 2017

Externships Students interested in participating in an externship should contact Professor Peterson, Director of Externships, at [email protected] or Donna Brabec, Clinical Program Manager, at [email protected]. Students may not register themselves for externship courses but must complete the requisite paperwork and must receive approval from Professor Peterson to register for an externship. Students must register for an externship by the deadline for add/drop. Students who secure a field placement after the add/drop deadline may only enroll for up to 2 units of credit and must secure a faculty advisor. Each unit of externship credit requires 52.5 hours of work at the student’s field placement, and students must register in advance for the number of units for which they will work. Students may earn up to 10 units. Students must also attend mandatory, bi-weekly externship workshops during the term of their first externship, and the time spent in workshops may count toward the students’ required time in the field. Students may choose from the offered workshops to best fit their schedule. Students who are taking externships for the second or third term are not required to attend the workshop but must participate in on-going, contemporaneous, faculty-guided reflection as designated by the Director of Externships.

The Director of Externships must approve all field placements in advance of registration. In general, field placements qualify for externship credit if the student is engaged in legal work, under the supervision of a licensed attorney, in judicial, governmental, public interest or public service law offices. Field placements in in-house counsel offices in entertainment and other corporate offices may also qualify. Work in private, for-profit law firms does not qualify unless the student’s work is exclusively on pro bono matters or if students are paid for their work. Externships count towards the upper division skills requirement and the experiential learning requirement. Qualifying externships count toward the pro bono requirement. All externships are graded as High Pass/Pass/Credit/Fail. Washington, DC Externships Students completing an externship as part of the Washington, DC externship semester must enroll in 9 or 10 units of externship. Professor Nancy Hunt must approve all Washington DC externship placements via email at [email protected]. All Washington, DC externship students must attend the bi-weekly Washington Externship Workshop.

New Course Descriptions Spring 2017

Advanced Constitutional Law – Supreme Court Seminar Professor Kmiec The course is of seminar size enrollment, ideally somewhere from 9 to 18 in number to accommodate the composition of one or two Supreme Court panels. The course involves several interrelated writing assignments (a doctrinal biography, typically 7-10 pages), a bench brief (typically 3-5 pages), outline of oral argument (also 3-5 pages), and judicial opinion) (approximately, 15-20 pages). First, each student is tasked with writing a doctrinal biography of the Supreme Court justice that the student has decided to role-play throughout the semester. Students are encouraged to select a justice of a different perspective than their own, but they are free to choose either way. Each student will be expected to participate actively in our simulated moot courts of the current docket and to present questions and responses consistent with the analytical approach of their chosen justice. If another justice believes the student has gone outside the boundaries of a given justice’s approach, the challenged student must explain or modify their response, anchoring an appropriate response in relevant precedent. Thus the student must become thoroughly familiar with their Justice’s expository and opinion writing and the general direction of that Justice’s approach to structural and independent rights issues. The student’s doctrinal biography is presented, discussed and critiqued in class. As an advanced constitutional offering, students are introduced to appellate argument approaches to complex matters by examining the continuing role of the Solicitor General and the high quality of advocacy associated with that office. In addition, each year, the best academic constitutional commentary is gathered and studied. Thus, the seminar serves as course instruction in written and oral advocacy as well as an opportunity to further understand contemporary constitutional development. Students will find their ability to prognosticate judicial outcome will be greatly enhanced. In this regard, the students will become familiar with the more subtle aspects of argumentation that are often requested by clients for purposes of business and strategic planning. Business plans and other environments requiring reasonably stable legal contexts. Student ability to prognosticate with respect to judicial outcome – the very type of prognostication often needed by clients. Students also select at least one pending case on the current docket to argue as either petitioner or respondent. In preparation for argument, students will prepare a bench brief identifying the salient procedural and substantive considerations of the case and situating it larger legal context. Finally, the major writing assignment is the preparation of a majority or dissenting opinion (the judicial alignment being determined by the students’ often very robust and interesting internal deliberations) under faculty supervision. Supreme Court rules and the Supreme Court's own opinions style is the framework student completion of this opinion writing assignment. Licensing – (Revised) Professor Gumer This course will consider the substantive law underlying intellectual property licensing as well as the practical aspects of the licensing process. Particular emphasis will be placed on the licensing of entertainment properties such as television, music, books, motion pictures and video games. The class will examine relevant case law as well as actual licensing contracts. Class discussions will focus on the practical applications of case law in connection with licensing agreements one might draft and otherwise encounter in practice. Therefore, the course will include exercises in negotiation of relevant contractual provisions and the subsequent drafting of such provisions.

New Course Descriptions Spring 2017

Practicing Law with Relational Intelligence Professor DeWalt This course is a fast-paced, dynamic, and challenging advanced study and practice of the relational skills and intelligence that set excellent lawyers apart. The course will focus on helping each student develop their leadership capacity, professional identity and become excellent in professional relationships, presenting themselves to potential employers, clients, lawyers and judges. The course will also focus on relational leadership skills with a primary emphasis on establishing “learning by doing” – students will actively participate in classroom exercises and receive feedback from the other students and the professor. This course fulfills the upper division skills requirement and counts towards the experiential learning requirement; Graded High Pass/Pass/Credit/Fail. Selected Issues in Dispute Resolution: Products Liability Professor Cupp

Products liability law has been highlighted in recent years as one of the few areas of litigation where the use of arbitration is expanding rather than contracting. Mediation is also on the rise in products liability; approximately 59 percent of products liability cases went through mediation in 2011, compared to only 39 percent in 1997. The Supreme Court of the United States has been particularly active over the past decade in addressing ADR in the context of products liability, and its decisions have doubtless been influential in expanding the use of ADR in this field. This course will focus on distinctive ADR issues related to this growing area of arbitration and mediation. Some examples of topics the course will address include the evolving enforceability of consumer arbitration agreements in a products liability context; policy implications of confidentiality agreements in settlements involving dangerous products or substances; how ADR issues might differ based on whether products liability claims are small and broad (such as a common defect in a consumer product that does not lead to personal injuries but that causes less significant harm to a large number of consumers) or large and more narrow (such as a major personal injury products liability claims that cause significant harm to few consumers); and international perspectives on the use of ADR in products liability lawsuits. The course will likely include presentations by practicing attorneys in the field, and will include at least one simulation exercise. This will be a paper course with no final examination, and the course will satisfy the upper-division skills requirement and will count toward the experiential learning requirement. Professor Richard Cupp is an internationally recognized authority on products liability law. An elected member of the American Law Institute and past chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section on Torts, he is a coauthor of a leading casebook on products liability. He has also published numerous scholarly and popular media articles addressing products liability issues.
