| 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 problem, think
about the unassigned problems and be prepared to fully participate in
the class on all the readings. You are NOT prepared for class unless you have three copies of your assignment with you. |

- How do you feel a lawyer should be acting in these
circumstances and why? Is there a tension or conflict between what you feel a lawyer
should do in this situation and what the black letter rules
seems to say a lawyer must do?

YOU SHOULD BRING THREE COPIES of YOUR PROBLEM ANSWER to CLASS. Two copies
will be turned in during class. Fold one of the problem vertically in half and
put your name in bottom right corner, put the problem number on the
second line. The second problem should be folded as well, DO NOT PUT
your name on the second problem. Instead, put your problem number. Problem
answers will be collected during class. No problems answer will be
accepted late (That is after class); No exceptions!
Your problem answer should
reflect a good faith attempt to answer the question. No credit will be given if you are not in class. That
is, you cannot turn in problems if you are absent from class.. |

answers BEFORE CLASS. Those answers should be turned in at every class. To be prepared for class, your problem answer should
reflect a good faith attempt to answer the question. Good Faith
