Course Notes Spring 2020 Course Content and Requirements: If you have questions about the content or requirements of a particular course, please contact the instructor. If you need the email address of an adjunct instructor, please contact the Office of Student Records. Torts II: The primary way by which the Law School will offer Torts II in Spring 2020 is through the Section 1 and Section 2 courses that will be taught by Professor Jamie Abrams, an experienced instructor who will be using a hybrid in-person/online method of instruction designed to maximize student learning. The enrollment caps in both Sections 1 and 2 are 60 students per section. In response to student requests, the Law School is also offering a Section 3 of the course, which will be taught by an adjunct professor in a solely in-person format. In order to offer Section 3, it will be limited to 35 students, the maximum capacity that the adjunct instructor can accommodate. Students who are in Section 1 and want to take Professor Abrams’ Section 1 Torts II class should register for LAW-803-01. Students who are in Section 2 and want to take Professor Abrams’ Section 2 Torts II class should register for LAW-803-02. 1L students are not allowed to switch between Sections 1 and 2; you have to remain in the same section you were in during the first semester. Students in either Section 1 or 2 who want to take Section 3 may register for LAW-803-03 on a first-come, first-serve basis. Registration for 1Ls begins at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 5. Clinics and Externships: Details about clinics and externships, including how to apply for them, appear on the separate document, Live Client Courses (ELC Courses) Master List (aka ELC Master List). ELC is the Law School’s online platform for ELC courses. ELC should be used to gather information about, and to pre-register for, all clinic and externship courses. The link to ELC is: https://law-louisville-liveclients-csm.symplicity.com . Distance Education (Online) Courses: The American Bar Association recently adopted a standard allowing students to earn up to 30 credits towards their JD through distance education (including up to 10 credits during the first year of law school). Please note that the New York State Board of Law Examiners currently deems ineligible applicants who earned distance education credits during their first year of study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only jurisdiction with such a restriction. All students are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners. The following courses will be taught partially or totally online and fall within the ABA definition of distance education courses. Therefore, they count towards the 30-credit maximum of distance education courses that students can take towards their 90 credits for graduation.

Torts II – Section 1 (3) (Abrams) Torts II – Section 2 (3) (Abrams) Decedents’ Estates and Trusts (4) (Lewis) Products Liability (3) (Hall) Advanced Civil Procedure (3) (Cross) Employment Discrimination (3) (McNeal) Urban Revitalization and Law (2) (McNeal)

Experiential Courses: The following courses count towards the 6-credit hour Experiential graduation requirement. At least 2 of those 6 credit hours must be in live client (ELC) courses, for which only clinics and externships qualify. Only ELC courses count towards the live-client experiential credits required. The remaining 4 credits can be satisfied with Experiential-Simulation and/or ELC courses.
