The first four hours of class meetings will address the mechanics of opinion writing as well as the ethical rules and practical considerations that guide judges in negotiating with one another, deciding cases, and communicating with the public through opinions. Students will consider the Rhetorical Situation of an appeal from the judge's perspectives as both audience for appellate arguments and as author of judicial opinions. After the initial classes, students will be divided into "courts" that will be assigned pending Louisiana Supreme Court or United States Supreme Court cases to decide. Students prepare for each class session by reading the briefs assigned in one case per week. They will rotate the role of Chief Justice to give each student an opportunity to lead the discussion and assign the majority opinion. Students may write concurrences and dissents to supplement a shorter majority opinion or to be considered for extra credit.
