Course Notes: (Synchronous Online) The UH registration system instruction mode for this course is listed in parenthesis. Contrary to the UH information, some student materials may not be available online, such as an assigned casebook. A physical classroom may be assigned for this course to give students a location in the Law Center to join the virtual class sessions. If the course has a final examination, the final and any other assessment for the course, such as a mid-term exam, will be conducted without the need to physically come to the Law Center, such as, for example, via the EBB portal as a take home exam or under remote proctoring.
Students taking this course must be prepared on a weekly basis to either attend a face-to-face class session with Judge Edison, or attend a zoom class session. The course will have a majority of its 14 regular class sessions occur on zoom as synchronous distance education. A Law Center room is assigned to the course as a place for students to join this zoom meeting, but on some weeks Judge Edison will notify students that the class session will be face-to-face in that same room. Such notice will be at least ten calendar days in advance. When class sessions are face-to-face, students should not count on remote presence being available.
