The main objective of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to improve their legal reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in English by reading and discussing, in oral and written form, various legal materials. Ancillary objectives of the course are for students to get a glimpse of what legal education and practice in the United States look like and to become familiar with various types of legal texts.
The course will take students on a journey from life as a U.S. law school student through to that of a junior associate at a U.S. law firm. We will begin by examining legal texts that U.S. law school students might encounter, and as we progress through the semester, we will examine legal documents that junior associates might draft or review. Each week, I will provide an overview of the reading for that day’s seminar and then ask for students’ thoughts on the readings.

| Reflection papers: From the third week, students will write short reflection papers (300 words or more) in response to questions I will provide. Reflection papers are due at least 24 hours prior to the seminar. As long as a student has completed the assignment well and on time, full credit will be given. If a reflection paper is received less than 24 hours before the seminar but by the time the seminar begins, 75% credit will be given. If a reflection paper is received after the seminar but within the day of the seminar, 50% credit will be given. If a reflection paper is received later than the day of the seminar but prior to the end of the semester, 25% credit will be given. If not a student does not submit all reflection papers by the end of the semester, this may be grounds for not receiving credit for the seminar. Quizzes: From the third week, at the beginning of each seminar, students will take a quiz that will cover the information we have discussed in the seminar. The two lowest scores will be dropped, and the remaining scores will be averaged. Participation: It is expected that this will be a small seminar. As such, students’ active participation will be required. Each student should speak multiple times during each seminar, but at a minimum two times. The final quiz will be an oral quiz that will cover information we have discussed during the semester. The grade for the final quiz will be based on how well students know, and are able to communicate, the material learned in the seminar. | ||

It is expected that students will attend each seminar. If a student is absent and there is a quiz on the day of their absence, the student will not be able to make up the quiz later. In addition, a student who is absent will not receive any participation points on the day of their absence.
If a student needs to be absent due to illness or an official purpose, the student should inform me as soon as possible prior to the seminar (unless circumstances make doing so impractical). In the case of approved absences, students will be able to make up quizzes and will not be penalized for failing to participate in class. However, it will be the responsibility of students to arrange make-up quizzes.
