Description
This course will cover the fundamentals of prison law and litigation. It will consist of a course component and a quasi clinical component of writing briefs/memos and strategy discussion on complex, actual federal prison litigation.
This course has been flagged as a distance education course. This means this class is one in which students are separated from the faculty member or each other (other than specially accommodated students) for more than one-third of the instruction and the instruction involves the use of technology to support regular and substantive interaction among students and between the students and the faculty member, either synchronously or asynchronously.
This is a hybrid course where some classes (more than a third) are remote, and some are in person.
