Course Description
|
Whether you are arguing to an appellate judge, a trial judge, or the senior partner in a law firm, you need to know how to make a strong legal argument. Rarely does this come naturally to people. This class helps students develop the skills to write effectively and argue under fire. The ability to anticipate questions, prepare and deliver answers to difficult questions, and weave back into your argument is so important. Through a series of mini-problems, lectures, and guest speakers, students will receive individualized, personal training that will be helpful in preparing them for the Gaubatz Competition (precursor to an invitation to the Charles C. Papy Moot Court Board). Note: Only students participating in the Gaubatz Competition are eligible to take this course.
