LMU

During 2007, session 1, LAWP was taught by Carolle Im, and the TA was Mari Crabtree. Carol was known for wearing a different pair of shoes everyday, she ownes over 250.

It is one of the more intesive courses offered at LMU, Carolle said to the class, that by the end of the three weeks, "At least one of you will cry." Very reasuring. LAWP covers Constutional Law cases; over 40+ of them. One writes briefs on about 17+ of them. Also, there is a debate on a Supreame Court case, and a 5+ page paper disagreeing on a Supreame Court decision. Cases include: Roe v. Wade, Garret F. v. Cedar Rapids Commuinty School District, Miranda v. Arazonia. The other major highlight is the Mock Trial.

This year the Mock Trial was Ian Fectious v. Tagen Burger, about a highschool student who claimed that he got sick from eating at Tagen Burger fast food chain. The Ethics class served as the Jury. Tagen Burger won the case, 15 to 0.

In 2006, the class was known as the Legal Eagles, in 2007, Carolle wanted to call the class the Legal Begeals, but the class wanted to be known as the Constutional Cows. (The Legal Llamas didn't go down well)
