I will provide bibliographic and historical information for each author. I will also supply handouts of the California State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct as well as pertinent State Bar Court case law. Guidelines for written work will be handed out before each exam and for the paper at the start March. It is suggested that you begin reading Anatomy of a Murder early on in the course so as not to overwhelm yourself with reading assignments at the end. I have given assignments in A Time To Kill starting from the first class so if you keep up with the short reading, you will be on target when we arrive at the discussion of this novel.
Plagiarism is the unacknowledged reproduction of another's words, ideas or work.
Seriously, if you have trouble coming up with original ideas, see me. I am available at the time listed on page one and by appointment for those students whose schedules conflict with posted hours. Please take advantage of office hours to come by just to talk or discuss the class. I look forward to meeting each of you and sharing your ideas on Law and Literature. I will pass out a sign-up sheet the first night of class.
