This is a writing course focused on corporate investigations and white collar crime. The goal of the class is to expose students to the fundamentals of a DOJ investigation and to improve research and writing skills though drafting documents required at each step of the investigation. The course works with one fact pattern throughout the semester and uses a method that is interactive and collaborative. Students will produce several written assignments, including (but not limited to): a case chronology, research emails, and a report of investigation. The final writing assignment will involve an initial draft, instructor feedback, and final revisions. The course builds on the skills learned in the first year in Legal Research and Writing and Written and Oral Advocacy by exposing students different types of legal writing and expecting more independent work.
