Course Description
The goal of this seminar will be to apply substantive legal knowledge you already have to crafting an outstanding brief and argument. We will proceed through each step of reviewing, briefing, and arguing a complex business dispute. Students will work in pairs. We will discuss the substantive issues presented in each simulation in-depth, explore the dynamics of briefing a dispute in the context of a law office environment, and focus on crafting both a brief and an argument. Simulations will be drawn from current, pending business disputes and will be selected based on the courses taken and interests of the registered students. Possible subjects include regulation of securities transactions, commercial arbitral award enforcement, the commercial exception to sovereign immunity, bank liability for processing illegal transactions, and determination of secured status in bankruptcy proceedings.
