COURSE OBJECTIVES: The goal of this course is to help prepare lawyers to recognize and work with clients whose values or cultural worldviews are different from the lawyers, in situations where the differing worldviews matter to both the lawyer and client. This course is NOT designed to study any specific cultural group(s). Instead, we will focus on overall cultural worldviews which have been identified as having significant influence on people’s thinking and decision-making. In addition to legal materials, the course will draw on writings from a broad range of disciplines outside of legal study: (e.g. cultural anthropology, business, sociology, psychology, political science) and apply them to lawyer – client counseling situations. GRADING: There is no final exam. There will be a final paper, and several smaller assignments. More detailed information about grading of assignments is found on the last page of the syllabus. (For courses in which there are 25 or fewer students, the maximum mean grade may not exceed 3.6.) Professor: Calfee Course Summer 2012 Income Taxation of Estates & Trusts J.D.
