The goals of the course are two- fold. First and most importantly, the course will assist you in developing your analytical and reasoning skills, especially as they relate to case analysis and statutory interpretation. Second, the course will provide you with the opportunity to master the substantive law of interstate and testate succession, with primary emphasis on the California Probate Code. I will take attendance at the beginning of each class. Additionally, if you arrive late or depart early without permission, you may be marked absent for the entire session.
Participation is required for all classes.
If you have legitimate reason for being unprepared, please notify me before class. The mean grade for this course will be between 2.3 and 3.0, in accordance with the WSU grading policy reprinted in the WSU grading policy reprinted in the WSU Student Handbook. Your course grade will be based upon your performance on the final examination in this course.
