Description: A practical "lawyering" course designed to develop and practice techniques for effective client interviewing and counseling (something lawyers do every day) under simulated law office conditions. This course also develops skills in providing preventive law advice and applying accumulated knowledge of substantive law to a client problem or objective. Emphasis is on intensive, individual student role- playing and critiquing. Grade based on individual skills evidenced in class, written assignments, and class participation and attendance. 50% of the grade will be based on class performance and 50% will be based on a final interview of and counseling session with the instructor in teams of two. As participation of all members of a group is necessary for the success of the simulated exercises, attendance is mandatory in the absence of permission from the instructor. Unexcused absences will affect the student's grade. All students who enroll for this course should be prepared to commit to full participation in all exercises. To hold a place in the Interviewing/Counseling course the student must attend the first class or notify the Professor in writing that he or she cannot attend, but that he or she wishes to accept the seat in the class. Any student who is on the class list, but does not attend the first class or notify the Professor in writing, will be dropped from the class and the seat will be given to the next person on the wait list. All students on the wait list who are interested in taking the course should attend the first class. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School

3.00 Credits
Description: This course addresses federal income tax problems encountered in general practice, particularly as they affect individuals and proprietorships. Students are introduced to the manner in which federal income tax law has developed, including policy issues, and engage in analysis of various Internal Revenue Code sections and Treasury regulations. Attention is given to the concepts and impact of gross income, deductions, deduction limitations, timing, and capital characterization. Analysis and application of these tax concepts occur in solving problems by applying both conceptual policy considerations and particular statutory language. The course provides an exploration of the tax law, as well as an understanding of why specific provisions exist, and how the tax law evolved into its present state. The course does not require a mathematics or business background, but students will necessarily learn business concepts as they come to understand the legal principles applicable thereto. The course involves some basic arithmetic, and calculators, though not necessary, are permitted. Please note that (1) student involvement in the course, and the expectations of the professor, reflect the realities of law practice, (2) the focus of the course is on problem solving and problem prevention, and (3) student pre-class preparation and post-class assimilation must be at a level consistent with a course in a graduate program, leading to a doctoral degree, in preparation for a professional career. The course is taught in three sections. In all three sections, grades will be based in part on a final examination and in part on semester exercises, such as take-home assignments, in-class tests, and/or mid-term exam, though the type and number of exercises and the weights given to them vary from section to section; because the course is designed to encourage semester-long student involvement and to discourage the end-of-semester-cram- from-old-outline-recite-black-letter-law-on-exam approach, students should carefully consider these course features when choosing to enroll. In Professor Maule's section, clickers are used for class participation, and for the in-class tests. 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
