796.01 Writing in Civil Practice: Sport Arbitration

This advanced writing seminar will help prepare students for the types of writing that are common to all civil litigation, while introducing them to written advocacy in an arbitral setting.  As access to courts becomes increasingly difficult due to overcrowding and budgetary constraints, and given the limited number of cases that make it to trial due to the cost of litigation, familiarity with the process of litigating in an alternative forum is critical for today's practitioners.  Writing assignments will arise from a hypothetical arbitration over the proper interpretation of a provision in a collective bargaining agreement between a sports organization and its players' union.
