This e-seminar is divided into three sections and contains a number of interactive elements to help your understanding by engaging you as an active participant in the course. An open-ended question at the beginning of each section and questions posed by the lawyers throughout the course are designed to allow you to express your ideas and ask questions of fellow participants in the course. While this course is not for credit and your responses to questions are not required, we strongly encourage you to participate in the discussion.
There are no required outside reading assignments. At the end of the seminar, Johnson and Donnelly have listed additional Web resources and a list of books for those interested in further study. |
