AW LEGAL WRITING METHODS: SANCTIONS & SETTLEMENTS
|
|
|
Course Description
|
Sanctions & Settlements is an upper-level writing course focused on the numerous ways attorneys can end a litigation without the traditional motion to dismiss, motion for summary judgment, or trial verdict. The first several weeks of the course will be devoted to students writing a motion for case-ending sanctions. Students will write this motion in pieces, allowing for detailed professor feedback. The course will then shift to settlement strategies and related writings. Class discussions will focus on writing techniques, substantive law, and persuasive advocacy. At the conclusion of this course, students should have a solid foundation on how to develop and implement any number of ways to end what is often time-consuming, costly, and stressful litigation for their clients.
