Attorneys play a variety of roles.
They are planners, policymakers, troubleshooters, litigators, dealmakers and dispute resolvers. Attorneys must determine the relevant facts in a given situation, find the applicable law and prepare documents that synthesize all of that information. This course enables students to practice those skills by preparing documents lawyers commonly use, based on client files and closed libraries of authorities, modeled on the performance section of the California Bar Examination. To give students an understanding of the time constraints under which attorneys may work, some of the document preparation will occur in class under timed conditions. This course is helpful to upper division students because it not only provides some insights into the performance part of the California Bar Exam, but the ability to grasp facts and synthesize authorities quickly should carry over to other law school courses.
