Fall 2015
Daniel Gustafson

This course focuses on pre-trial advocacy skills. Practically every lawyer interviews and counsels clients and engages in negotiation of transactions or resolution of disputes. Theoretical and practical exploration of these topics and other topics including fact development and case planning, alternative dispute resolution, discovery and motion practice form the basis for this course. Each topic will be explored with readings and simulated exercises. Specific topics may vary from year to year.
