| During most classes we will
work on problems, in fact the
primary focus of the class will be on problems. You should work
out an individual answer to the assigned problems and be prepared
to fully participate in the class. All problems should
be formatted and answer as if you were providing an answer to your
immediate supervisor. That is, unless otherwise noted by the problem or
by Professor Randall, your answer should constructed as a memo to senior
partner and should be appropriately footnoted Formatting
Convention: Problem
answers should be typed, single spaced, 1 inch margins, 12 pt.
Times Roman. Length should be appropriate to answer the problem; as a guidance
that generally mean between 750 to 1500 words.
YOU SHOULD DROP THE PROBLEM BEFORE CLASS IN THE TWEN DROP BOX AND YOU
SHOULD BRING TWO COPIES of YOUR PROBLEM ANSWER to CLASS. One copy
will be turned in during class. The other copy is for your use during
class. At the top of the page in the right
hand-corner place your name on the first line and on the second line
place the problem number and name. Problem
answers will be collected during class. No problems answer will be
accepted late (That is after class). For
each problem you should prepare your own answers BEFORE CLASS. Those
answers should be turned in at every class . Your problem answer should
reflect a good faith attempt to answer the question.
No credit will be given if you are not in class.
Problems will be evaluated using the following: |

Response is accurate but cursory, and does not meet the minimum
requred for completeness, some inaccuracies or reasoning flaws, response is
too general, lacks specific evidence. Position is stated, but is not maintained consistently throughout work.
A
few of the key issues are stated but many are missing. Mostly mistates the law
applicable to the problem; Some attempt to structure the argument has been
made, but the structure is poorly developed. Tones does not
contribute to persuasiveness. |
