FALL SEMESTER: Students enroll in a class entitled “Advanced Criminal Procedure: Representing the Criminal Appellant.” [Three of the credits are listed in the Course Advanced Criminal Procedure: Representing the Criminal Appellant, Course #860, which qualifies under the 60 credit rule, and one credit (or two credits if appropriate) is listed as Course #854, Section 15]. The class has one weekly large group section (with all 18 students) and one weekly small group discussion section (with 6 students in each section). Each class meets for 80 minutes. In the large group, students study appellate procedure, the ethics of representation, issue spotting, and methods of persuasion. In the small groups, students discuss issues that arise in their individual cases. Grading is based on work on cases and assignments using S+, S, S- or U. There is no final exam or paper.
SPRING SEMESTER: Students enroll in a 3-credit class entitled “Appellate Advocacy II” with the option of additional credits if appropriate. Generally, students meet with their small 6-person group once per week. Most of the classes involve discussion of issues from students’ cases, presentation of student briefs for group editing, and mock oral argument. Each student writes at least one appellate brief, along with other writing, as required. Grading is based on work on cases and briefs using S+, S, S- or U.
