Tulane University 2006-2007 Catalog
Course:
300 Introduction to Law, Lawyers, and Law School (3)
Introduces students to basic building blocks of law (civil procedure, torts, contracts, and criminal law), legal research, and legal writing. In addition, it deals with important ethical issues facing the legal profession. Taught by law professors in the same manner as a first-year law school course, this course also allows students considering law school to determine whether law school is for them, and students committed to going to law school a chance to begin to learn key skills for law school success, such as briefing cases, legal research, legal writing, and exposure to law school style examinations. The course is taught in two time blocks, the first dealing with substantive law issues and the second, conducted in smaller break-out sessions, focusing on the research and writing component. The course is open to students who are juniors or seniors, and may be taken by graduating students on a noncredit basis. Enrollment is limited and no credit is earned toward a law degree.
