I'm four weeks into my terrifyingly short 11 week quarter, and classes are going pretty well. I am taking:
Negotiation
with Baker
We discuss negotiation tactics, like considering creative third-way solutions that are win-win, and do mini-negotiations in every other class. I am loving this class so far and the skills are useful in real life.
Strategic Litigation
with Daynard, who I wrote about last year
We have done a TON of reading on tobacco litigation and class action cases, and a few cases that have to do with asbestos or faulty medical devices. Instead of an exam, I'm writing a paper and presenting to the class about the possibility of litigation against football/hockey/lacrosse helmet manufacturers. If anyone has any experience or knowledge in this field, let me know!
Family Law
with Pitchal
Family law is pretty interesting, but it doesn't hurt that our professor, who looks remarkably like Buster from Arrested Development, makes references to pop culture to keep everyone awake. We've read Britney Spears' divorce case and Barry Bonds' pre-nup, and the class is confirming my interest in working in family law. Hopefully I will be using some of the things I learn this fall on my winter co-op - I'm considering a bunch of child/family law placements.
Evidence
with Judge Borenstein
The professor worked as an attorney for 15+ years and as a judge for 20 years, so he has a ton of experience to share with us. He gives us real-life examples of evidence that he's permitted or not allowed in his court. Evidence has a lot of rules to memorize, but I'm sure I'll be using it for years to come.
