Description

This course introduces written and oral appellate advocacy. Each section studies a topic that the instructor chooses from real appellate or supreme court cases. Students research the law and write an appellate brief on behalf of one of the parties, complete a recorded practice of their oral argument, and perform a formal oral argument before a three-judge panel. LRW2 classes involve 30 minutes of asynchronous content in addition to regular in-person class time each week.
