This course will be a hands-on introduction to federal court litigation. The class will be taught around a hypothetical patent litigation. Through this hypothetical, the students will practice essential litigation skills such as brief writing, taking and defending depositions, and oral arguments. They will also explore the practical application of key patent law and procedural law concepts. The students will not only discuss relevant Federal Circuit and Supreme Court decisions, but will also advocate on behalf of the hypothetical plaintiff’s and defendant’s positions.
Attendance at the first two weeks of class sessions is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present during the first two weeks of class (without prior permission of the instructor) may be dropped without notice. The instructor can continue to take attendance throughout the add/drop period and anyone who moves off the waitlist into the class must continue to attend or have prior permission of the instructor in order not to risk being dropped without notice.
