LAW 0517:
Civil Procedure II
Spring 2018 • Section 21
• CRN 8174
Course Description
This section of Civil Procedure II is part of the Integrated Trial Advocacy Program (ITAP), a two semester, ten credit course package. Civil Procedure II will permit students to focus on discovery and motions practice with both written and oral advocacy components--as complimentary to trial practice. Through the use of a single file in which a female professor brings an action against her University and individual administrators for discrimination in the denial of her tenure with pendant defamation claims, students will be called up to draft and argue a range of pre-trial discovery and procedural motions, such as emotions for a preliminary injunction, dismissal for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted, dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, for compelling discovery and for a protective order, for summary judgment, and for sanctions pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The course will also cover: pleading, complex multi-party litigation (class actions, necessary parties, inter-pleader, intervention, multi-district litigation); discovery practice; pre-trial conference; trial and post-trial procedures; fundamentals of appellate review, securing and enforcing judgments; and problems of judicial administration.
