NEW COURSES LW 859 Fundamentals of Oral Argument. The course will build on the skills introduced in LARW II and allow students to further develop their oral advocacy skills in the context of civil or criminal appellate practice. After the first class session, students will be assigned to take a civil or criminal track for the remainder of the course. Criminal and civil students will then meet separately during the course. The students will learn how to advocate for their client by highlighting their arguments strengths, learning to distinguish opposing cases, and, importantly, how to present the best argument in fifteen minutes or less. The course will focus on the preparation needed to succeed at oral argument. The course will be taught primarily through practice drills but will also include classroom instruction on organizing the argument, preparing for questions, and researching your opposing party s strongest cases. The course will end with a graded oral argument. Prerequisite: LARW II, satisfies Skills and ULOR requirements, Graded, 1 credit hour. LW 883 Leadership for Lawyers. As lawyers advance in their careers, they often find themselves in leadership roles with responsibilities beyond traditional legal work. The numbers also bear out that Washburn Law graduates find themselves as leaders in private practice, government positions, and in the corporate world. Therefore, the concepts surrounding the topic of leadership are issues all law students could benefit from giving further examination. This class intends to provide a thorough introduction to leadership topics encountered in any setting but with a focus on how the legal world handles these many layered issues. For this two-credit class, we will focus on topics including motivating employees, generational differences in the law firm, dealing with conflict, diversity, working in teams, and making a difference in the legal profession. This class will rely heavily on case studies to discuss relevant topics, along with background readings and guest speakers, to cover the concept of leadership. Prerequisites: None, satisfies Perspectives requirement, Graded, 2 credit hours. LW 851 Comparative Constitutional Law Rights. This course is a seminar that explores how different rights are enshrined, interpreted, and enforced in different constitutional systems. It will be limited to an examination of a few systems, and only a few specific rights. The emphasis will be on comparing the systems of the United States with those of Canada, Japan, and both the E.U. and in some cases certain specific European countries. Some reference will also be made to systems such as South Africa. The analysis will focus on equality rights, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and security of the person an autonomy. The course will begin with a theoretical exploration of the different understandings of the nature of rights, the role of the judiciary and judicial review in a democracy, and how the limitations on rights and justifications of infringement are, and ought to be, analyzed. Prerequisites: None ( desirable), satisfies Perspectives requirement, Graded, 3 credit hours. COURSE ANNOUNCEMENTS Students should take note that a number of required courses are being offered during the summer sessions (Criminal Procedure I, Professional Responsibility, Civil Procedure II, and ). It is possible that when a required course is offered during the summer that is may be offered only once the following year. Students should examine the 2018-2019 schedule closely when it is released during the Spring 2018 semester to ensure that they can fulfill all graduation requirements. Students who have a GPA under 2.6 after their first two semesters of law school will be required to take two Multiple Assessment Courses as soon as practicable, one of which must be Multistate Legal Analysis. Multiple Assessment Courses are foundation courses that are open to all students, which include exercises, quizzes, or other activities that are designed to provide students, and the faculty members teaching the courses, opportunities for feedback throughout the semester. Additionally, students who have a GPA under 2.6 may not enroll in more than 16 hours per semester until they raise their GPA over 2.6. 2

UPPER-LEVEL REQUIRED COURSES Civil Procedure II Evidence Professional Responsibility One perspectives on law course Six credit hours of skills courses Upper Level Oral Requirement Upper-Level Writing Requirement UPPER-LEVEL ELECTIVE CURRICULUM RECOMMENDED FOUNDATION COURSES The faculty strongly encourages enrollment in the following foundation courses. These courses are foundations for other advanced electives and are considered part of the core of a well-rounded legal education. Students are urged to enroll in these courses, along with the required courses in, Evidence, Professional Responsibility, and in the second year of law study. Enrolling in these courses in the second year will not only lay the foundation for more advanced courses in the third year, but also result in fewer conflicts in scheduling classes and exams in both the second and third years Administrative Law Business Associations Decedents Estates and Trusts Family Law Pretrial Advocacy Civil Pretrial Advocacy - Criminal Public International Law Real Estate Transactions Secured Transactions Taxation of Individual Income ADDITIONAL COURSE SUGGESTIONS The following additional courses are not as universally considered a part of the core curriculum, but they are nevertheless important classes for many students for the reasons described below. They are also commonly tested on state bar examinations. Thus, while these are not classes that all students would typically take, they are classes to which students should give careful consideration in planning their upper-level curriculum. Remedies and Conflict of Laws are courses best studied in the third year of law school. The others are feasible in either the second or third year. Conflict of Laws The heart of the Conflicts class is the problem of choosing the law to apply to a transaction or occurrence that crosses state lines. Many transactions or occurrences are entirely local. Often, when a transaction or occurrence touches more than one state, the laws of the involved states happen to be in agreement. But a growing number of multi-state transactions or occurrences involve conflicts between the potentially applicable laws. When this happens, the resulting problems are often quite difficult to resolve. For students who may engage in a practice representing clients involved in activities on a multi-state or multinational basis, Conflict of Laws can be a very important class. Payment Systems - This course often appears on bar exam subject lists as Commercial Paper or Negotiable Instruments. It covers Uniform Commercial Code articles 3, 4, and 5, concerning negotiable instruments, bank deposits and collections, regulation of other payment devices such as credit cards and electronic fund transfers, and letters of credit. Remedies - Although the Remedies class looks at legal, equitable and restitutionary remedies, the most important reason to take the class is that it is the only opportunity in law school to obtain a broad exposure to equity practice and the underlying doctrines of equity that apply to equitable remedies such as injunctions and specific performance. Knowledge of Remedies is important in all areas of practice. Prerequisites One factor students should consider in course selection is whether a desired course requires a prerequisite course. Prerequisites are listed at the end of course descriptions on the web site course descriptions. 7
