LAW 7362 - Practice Foundations: Civil

In this course, students will learn the basics of civil litigation from case initiation to trial. Students will work in teams to draft and answer complaints, create discovery plans, draft trial briefs, and argue their cases to the class. The class will also discuss client interviewing, mediation, settlement, and trial. Students are required to take either Practice Foundations-Civil, Practice Foundations-Criminal Litigation, or Practice Foundations-Transactions prior to graduation. Students who take a second Practice Foundations course may use it to satisfy the practice-oriented writing requirement, or the experiential course requirement, but not both. Letter grade. 3 credits
