LAW 652LEC - Handling a Personal Injury Case: Intake to Appeal

This course teaches students the practical aspects of handing a personal injury case, both for plaintiff and defense. We will work from a fact pattern and develop our case from start to finish. Students’ grades are based on five written assignments (including pleadings, motions, and discovery documents), participation in live exercises (like mock depositions, jury selection, settlement conferences, and arguing motions), as well as in class participation. Assignments and exercises are designed to mimic assignments that new associates will work on in law firms.
