2Ls - Online registration will begin on February 16th at 12:45 p.m. Online registration for all students will end on Friday, February 26th. After February 26th at 5:00 p.m., you may update or change your schedule by emailing the Registrar, Ms. Law ([email protected]). If there are updates or changes to the attached schedule, these will be e-mailed out as soon as possible. Most elective courses have enrollment caps and minimum enrollments. If a student attempts to register for a class and receives a message that the class has reached its cap, the student should email Ms. Law, to be placed on a wait list. If a class fails to meet the enrollment minimum, the enrolled students will be notified as soon as practical and allowed to register for other classes.

If you are scheduled to do your Residency during the Spring trimester, you must register for one additional course of either 2 or 3 credits, bringing students up to a full academic load for the term. Students are encouraged to take an accompanying course related to their Residency and one that does not conflict with work hours. Some courses will be offered through distance learning technology, so that students have the possibility of completing a residency and the accompanying course away from the law school. The residency experience takes priority during the residency trimester. Thus, any student (either local or non-local) who elects to take a residency accompanying course during normal working hours (8:30am – 5:00pm), must obtain consent from the student’s on-site supervising attorney or judge confirming that the student will be allowed to miss residency-related work during times that the accompanying course meets. An MOU for this purpose is available on the Registrar’s website and must be completed, with signatures, and returned to Professor Conner, preferably by registration and no later than the first day of Spring term. If the student’s work schedule will not permit the taking of the student’s chosen course, the student will have to enroll in a different accompanying course that does not conflict with work hours. The Law School’s in-house clinical residency placements have their own accompanying courses, and students in residencies there will be preregistered for those courses.

Some 2L classes are offered online and some in person. 2L students will be expected to

attend in-person classes, absent an accommodation or modification. 2L students who were granted a modification for remote-only instruction in the fall or winter do not have to submit another modification request for the spring; the modification applies throughout the 2021-21 academic year. Students who received a modification for Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 but who would like to return to in-person instruction for the Spring 2021 Term need to email the Registrar at [email protected] to inform her of the change.

Any 1L or 2L students with documented disabilities, whose health condition or age falls within one of the CDC High Risk Categories, or who have other special health circumstances, may seek a class format adjustment to remote-only (exclusively online) instruction (or other reasonable accommodation) through the reasonable accommodation process initiated through the reasonable accommodation process initiated through the Office of Disabilities Resources.

The drop/add period for all courses (other than clinical courses) ends on Friday, April 2 at

4:00 p.m. Students must seek permission from the clinic director to drop a clinical course after the online registration period ends.

Students will register for courses by going online to OnTrack -

https://ontrack.elon.edu/WebAdvisor/WebAdvisor?&TYPE=M&PID=CORE-WBMAIN&TOKENIDX=7485788338. 2L students are reminded that they must register for at least 10 hours to remain enrolled as full-time law students in the law school. Students may not register for

Required Courses for First Year Students Introduction to Legal Studies, 1 credit (Dean Scott) LAW605 This intensive “immersion-style” course is designed for entering first year law students. It introduces students to the analysis and reasoning necessary to understand legal materials. By taking this course students should achieve the skills necessary to understand cases and statutes and how to craft legal arguments from these materials. The principal topics will include: sources of law; structure of the American legal system; analysis of a case; the concept and use of precedent; progressive evolution of common law doctrine; emergence of new doctrine; analysis of a statute; approaches to statutory interpretation; relationship between statutes and case-law and between statutes themselves; and presumptions in statutory interpretation. Small section meetings will supplement large section lectures. Small section instruction will include case briefing, development of study skills, and professional writing practice. First-year students are automatically registered for their Spring Trimester ILS course. Lawyering, Leadership and Professionalism, 1 credit (Professors Duncan, Leupold, and Mencarini) LAW684 This course considers three aspects in the development of competent, leading lawyers: exercising problem-solving lawyering skills, developing a professional identity that guides students’ selected career paths, and exhibiting professionalism as an active member of the bar and officer of the court. Together, these three components coalesce to provide a sound foundation for the acquisition and refinement of legal skills and support development of a competitive legal career. This approach enhances the learning experience for students while reinforcing that excellence in knowing the law and basic exposure to expert application of the law are essential personal priorities and critical outcomes from legal education. First-year students are automatically registered for their Spring Trimester Leadership course. Legal Method and Communication III, 2 credits (Professors Atkins, Dineen, Elyse, Liemer, Wasson, Zboreak) LAW674 This course builds and expands on the skills taught in LMC I & II, as students hone their analytical and legal writing skills. Students will learn additional techniques for persuasive advocacy. They will write a brief to the federal Court of Appeals, and will prepare and deliver an appellate oral argument. In addition, students will learn to research legislative history and to include policy arguments effectively in their written and oral advocacy. First-year students are automatically registered for their Spring Trimester LMC course.

Property, 5 credits (Professors El-Sabawi and Haile) LAW640 A study of property rights and interests in personal property and real property. Topics covered include the acquisition of rights in property, possessory and non-possessory interests, estates in land, concurrent ownership, landlord-tenant relations and land-use regulation. First-year students are automatically registered for their Property course. NOTE: 1L students will need to register for one of the two following courses. The course you do not take in the Spring 2021 trimester, you will automatically be registered for in the Fall 2021 trimester.

Page - 6 – 3/21/21

Business Associations, 4 credits (Professor Molony) LAW710 A study of basic corporate law, including formation, management, and dissolution of corporations, and the rights and duties of those involved with corporations. The law related to business organizations such as partnerships and limited liability companies (LLC) will also be covered. A final examination will be administered in this course. (This course has an enrollment cap of 80.) If you have an interest in business law, including either transactional work (meaning, assisting clients to enter into agreements) or business litigation (disputes between business entities), you may want to register to take Business Associations in the spring term. In Business Associations, we study the case law and statutes that govern the creation, operation, and dissolution of businesses. You will learn about how businesses make decisions and about the legal duties that those operating a business (managers or directors, for example) owe to those who own the business (shareholders, for example). Evidence, 4 credits (Professor Dunham) LAW730 The aim of this course is to develop familiarity with the techniques by which evidence of controverted facts is presented in litigation before judicial tribunals. The Federal Rules of Evidence, North Carolina Rules of Evidence, and common law rules will be examined. (This course has an enrollment cap of 80.) If you are interested in working with litigation or litigation-related topics in your professional future, including working in public service positions such as District Attorney or Public Defender offices, please consider registering for Evidence in the Spring term. Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, and Evidence are the foundational topics for lawyers who want to engage in litigation and advocacy. In Evidence, students learn the Federal Rules of Evidence, rules applicable in civil and criminal trials, which are tested on the Multi-State Bar Exam and form the basis for every state's rules of Evidence. By taking Evidence in the 1L Spring term, you will be prepared to take the Trial Practice and Procedure course, the basic advocacy course, in the Fall of your 2L year. Also, for students aspiring to a residency placement in litigation environments, such as DA or PD offices, Evidence is an essential course.

Required Courses for Second Year Students

Students must take the following courses before the end of their second year:

• Constitutional Law II (Students not registered for a Spring Residency will automatically be registered for Constitutional Law II).

• Residency-In-Practice (Students that have a Spring residency will be automatically registered for the residency).

Constitutional Law II, 3 credits (Professor Perkins) LAW 721 A study of the principles of American constitutional law. The course will examine the concept of judicial review, as well as other specific provisions of the Constitution, including the Due Process Clause and the First Amendment. Constitutional Law II is a continuation of Constitutional Law I. Students not currently registered for a Winter Residency will automatically be registered for Constitutional Law II. Residency-in-Practice, 7-8 credits (Professor Conner and Other Faculty) LAW890 The Residency-in-Practice course requires 2L students to work 32 or 36 hours per week for 10 weeks in an approved governmental, judicial, non-profit, corporate, or private law firm, earning 7 or 8 academic credits. This academic requirement promotes “learning from practice” by providing students with opportunities for substantial lawyering experience reasonably similar to the experience of a lawyer advising or representing a client or engaging in other lawyering tasks, under direct attorney or judicial supervision at the field placement. By stepping in the role of a lawyer, students deepen their legal knowledge acquired in substantive courses, sharpen skills needed to be a successful lawyer, and make the professional connections and observations important to career development. Residents are assigned a Faculty Supervisor, who provides orientation to the program and guidance through written assignments, Affinity Group meetings that include other students, and individual conferences. Students will be awarded a grade on a Pass/Fail basis. Students must register for one additional course of either 2 or 3 credits, bringing students up to a full academic load for the term. Students are encouraged to take an accompanying course related to their Residency and one that does not conflict with work hours. Some courses will be offered through distance learning technology, so that students have the possibility of completing a residency and the accompanying course away from the law school. The residency experience takes priority during the residency trimester. Thus, any student (either local or non-local) who elects to take a residency accompanying course during normal working hours (8:30am – 5:00pm), must obtain consent from the student’s on-site supervising attorney or judge confirming that the student will be allowed to miss residency-related work during times that the accompanying course meets. An MOU for this purpose is available on the Registrar’s website and must be completed, with signatures, and returned to Professor Conner, preferably by registration and no later than the first day of Spring term. If the student’s work schedule will not permit the taking of the student’s chosen course, the student will have to enroll in a different accompanying course that does not conflict with work hours. The Law School’s in-house clinical residency placements have their own accompanying courses, and students in residencies there will be preregistered for those courses. If you are fulfilling your Residency requirement during the Spring 2021 trimester, you will automatically be registered for either 7 or 8 credits based on the number of credits of your accompanying course, for a total of 10 credits.

• Communications Requirement Each student must also fulfill a Communications Requirement after the first year. The Communications Requirement is intended to develop communication skills and provide the student interim feedback on those skills. The Requirement may be filled by completing a law review note under faculty supervision, competing on a Moot Court or Mock Trial team, completing a Leadership Fellow Capstone Project, or taking a course designated by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs as a “Communications Course.”

A student may not satisfy both the Communications Requirement and the Upper Level Writing Requirement with a single course or experience; each requirement must be met separately. For example, if a course is designated a “Communications Course” and the course includes writing a paper that would meet the Upper Level Writing Requirement, a student may satisfy either the Communications Requirement or the Upper Level Writing Requirement by taking the course, but not both. Communications courses offered during the Spring 2021 Trimester are:

Advanced Legal Research Bankruptcy Business Drafting Cause Lawyering Law Review (note-writing term) Moot Court (competition term) Mergers and Acquisitions Negotiations

• Bridge-to-Practice Courses (Optional, not required but recommended)

The Law School designates certain courses as “Bridge-to-Practice Courses,” or “Bridge Courses.” A Bridge Course is the culmination of the student’s transition from theory to practice and follows the student’s completion of a residency. Bridge Courses can be offered in any subject area, and students may choose the course that matches their area of interest. Bridge Courses may involve an extended simulation, a field component, or a live-client experience in the relevant practice area and could involve other educational approaches at the professor’s discretion. Bridge Courses will provide students opportunities to: (1) exercise professional judgment; (2) evaluate legal strategies; (3) build on and apply legal knowledge from other courses to novel factual situations; (4) synthesize legal knowledge from across doctrinal areas; and (5) practice advanced oral and written communication skills. Bridge Courses offered during the Spring 2021 Trimester are:

It will cover damages, including compensatory, punitive and statutory damages. Equitable remedies such as injunctions and accountings will also be covered, as will restitutionary remedies. This course’s asynchronous format is particularly well suited for Residency students who may find it difficult to attend class at set times during the day; it allows students to view recorded weekly lectures, do the course reading and complete weekly assignments on their own schedule, usually in the evening after their Residency or on weekends (subject to submitting them by the weekly deadline). The course format is as follows: Each week, students will be assigned chapters in the textbook to read and work problems. Dean Woodlief posts recorded lectures online each week, as well as review problems. The work is largely at students’ own pace during the week, though students will need to have listened to the lectures and completed the problems by the weekly deadline. There are online chat forums/office hours each week, so students can connect with Dean Woodlief and ask any questions they may have about the material for the week. Dean Woodlief is available other times during the week by appointment. Regular, weekly participation is an important part of the learning process in this course and is also a proxy for attendance (the law school’s attendance policy applies in full effect to online courses.) A component of the grade will be measured by participation (e.g., logging in and watching lectures, working textbook problems and answering review questions online and submitting assignments). There will likely be two quizzes in the course, as well as a final exam. (This course has a minimum enrollment of 10 students and a maximum enrollment of 25 students.) This course is Not available to satisfy the upper level writing requirement. * Wills and Trusts, 3 credits (Adjunct Professor Ervin) LAW770 This course explores the gratuitous transfer of property at death, including intestate and estate succession. It also examines the nature, establishment, management, and termination of inter vivos and testamentary trusts. (This course has a minimum enrollment of 10 students and a maximum enrollment of 40 students.) This course is Not available to satisfy the upper level writing requirement. Adjunct Professor Ervin is an attorney licensed in North Carolina and Florida. He is a partner with the firm of Johnson, Peddrick & McDonald, PLLC, where he practices estate planning, estate administration, and guardianship law. He completed a double-major in Business and French at UNC Greensboro, then went on to graduate cum laude from Elon University School of Law and earn an LL.M. (Master of Laws) in Tax Law from the University of Florida. While at Elon Law, he practiced estate planning in the Wills Clinic, externed for Guilford County District Court Judge Sue Burch, interned for the District Attorney in Rockingham and the Public Defender in Charlotte, as well as studied Chinese business law in Beijing and Spanish language and culture in Madrid. He continues to be involved with Elon Law, including mentoring law students throughout their studies, teaching as an adjunct faculty member, and occasionally guest lecturing and speaking on panels.
