From the Prof

Beginning in November, we will do several simulation exercises in the Yvonne Skanars case: an interview, three drafting exercises (a complaint, an answer and a summary judgment motion), and an oral argument of the summary judgment motion. This page contains links to the materials you will need for these exercises.
