LAW 207P - Advanced Torts and Insurance Practicum.

This practicum will embrace torts of the first year variety, products liability, relational harms (the field of tort injuries affecting relationships), and insurance. There are no prerequisites. The course will likely be structured around an imaginary family, subject to a fiendish array of legal difficulties. As in any family, issues may arise involving accidents, work injuries, health insurance, and the occasional detonation of ordinary household items. Students will work in teams alternately representing the family, or its legal antagonists. This is a litigation-oriented course, and students will do a significant amount of writing, including memoranda, briefs and other litigation documents. There will be some role for client counseling and planning.Five hours.ScalesNot offered in 2010-2011.
