Case Studies:
These are case studies we will use in class. You are not responsible for all of them; we will assign case studies in our first class meeting. The case studies will be the subject of your motions arguments and settlement negotiations.
Here are the case assignments (captured from our whiteboard). The file is password-protected because it has your names. The password is the four-digit number of the classroom where we meet. The red line segments show co-counsel partners. (Updated June 4 with grid.)
