You will write three 1000-word essays. And you will talk about the law throughout the semester, in class and during arguments. Although I do not care about formal bluebooking in writing, I care about your writing and analysis. And I care about how you talk and write about courts and procedure, that you do so properly and not with the (inaccurate) informality you often see.
Please review and follow this. I will take points off.
After the jump are tips on both.
At our first meeting on Monday, August 17, there will be a stack of tent cards on the table in the front of the classroom. When you come to the room, please find the card with your name on it and place it in front of you at your seat. You are responsible for keeping that card and having it with you at every class throughout the full semester.
We will not have assigned seats. Panelists will sit on the sides, when assigned.
After the jump are the additional materials (statutes, cases, readings,
etc.) assigned throughout the semester, as indicated in the Syllabus. You will return to this post for those materials; it may help to bookmark, so you do not have to scroll through the entire blog when a document is assigned.
