LAWS 6639 Senior Trial Team
This pass/fail course is designed for students returning to the mock trial team after competing in a prior academic year. Students will be required to dedicate a minimum of 127.5 hours, thus earning 3 academic credits, under the supervision of Prof. Van Dyke and Prof. Buszuwski. As there is no official seminar component, this course will not count for experiential learning credit pursuant to ABA standard 304. In addition to the requirements of the Trial team (including competition preparation and 16 hours of volunteer work), this course will include a writing and teaching component. Specifically, students will draft and finalize at least two motions in limine relating to the case problem assigned for the current years competition. They will also lead a class discussion on issues relating to the teams work.
