LAW-2489 Fundamentals of Law II
Building on the skills developed during the Fundamentals of Law 1 course, this course, also two credits, is designed to provide a substantive review in three additional areas that are also heavily tested on the bar exam (Torts, Evidence, and Contracts) and to continue developing the skills necessary to apply the substantive law to answer bar exam multiple choice and essay questions. Similar to the Fundamentals of Law 1 course, with a strong emphasis on systematic problem solving, this course is intended to assist students in: (1) Tackling multiple choice questions tested on the bar exam; (2) Critically reading and writing essays on the bar exam; and (3) Reviewing the substantive law that many students have not studied since their first year of law school. Fundamentals of Law 2 will have both a midterm exam and a final exam (both of which will be in-person exams). Both exams will be a combination of multiple choice and essay questions. In addition, students will be required to complete multiple ungraded assessments (both multiple choice and essay assignments) throughout the semester, and students will receive frequent individualized feedback from the instructor.
