Registration Notes
Fall 2020: this course will meet in Paley Hall. This class will be a flex class, with half the class meeting in person on Tuesday and the other half online, and students will switch on Thursday. Students enrolled in this class may register for one additional pass/fail credit that will qualify under Temple’s skills/experiential requirement and will appear on transcripts as “Administrative Law Appellate Argument.” Participants will be assigned in four-person groups to a pending court of appeals case. Using the actual briefs filed in the case, students will participate in a practice argument for other members of their group, and they will also deliver a final argument before the professor. In Fall 2020, all of the practice and final arguments will occur online.
