The use of overheads or handouts is encouraged. Factors considered in grading include organization, content and completeness, and style of presentation.

Chapters and cases should have been read. All cases are important, but particular attention should be paid to the cases listed under the Topical Outline later in this syllabus. Each student should expect to be called on at least once during the semester. Additionally, the versions of the cases in the textbook are all edited. U.S. Supreme Court cases, which are published in the Supreme Court Reporter, and Indiana cases, which are printed in the North Eastern Reporter, can also be found on the shelves in the library.
