A.To be prepared for class means that all cases assigned for a class session must be briefed IN WRITING. 1.Written brief should contain the following: Facts; Issue(s), Rule(s) of law; Application; Conclusion.B. Assigned Problems - Writing answers to assigned problems is not required. However, written answers will be extremely beneficial in (1) assisting in answering the problem in class if you are called upon; and (2) preparing you for the essay examinations. To obtain the maximum benefit, your written answers to assigned problems should not be briefs but should be complete essays that would be understood by students who have not taken this class. Answers to problems should include the following information:1.identification of the issue or issues that must be decided and an explanation of why the issue or issues is/are important to the outcome of the problem;2.a statement of the applicable rules of law and definitions that must be used to solve the issue(s) (only explain rules and definitions that are needed to solve the dispute in the problem);3.an explanation of how all the relevant facts would be applied to the rules stated, giving the arguments that each of the parties would use;4.a statement of your conclusion and an explanation of how you arrived at it.C.If you are not prepared for class on any given day, you must inform me BEFORE THE CLASS SESSION BEGINS that you are not prepared.

This penalty will be earned following each failure to comply with the rule.D.
