The IRAC methodology is aconcise way to answer hypothetical questions in legal analyses. IRAC is an acronym that standsfor Issue, Rules, Application and Conclusion. We will discuss this further in class. At thebeginning of our regularly scheduled class, I will provide a topical or hypothetical sports lawissue. You will have 75 minutes after the topic has been posted to analyze the issue (regularlyscheduled ending of class) These are considered individual exams, which means you may notconsult with anyone during this 75 minute period. The response will be limited to 2 to 3 pages,depending on the issue(s) presented. EACH of these exams will be worth 15% of your grade.(total 45%)Exam dates:February 11March 18 - on lineApril 10Class Attendance and Participation 10%This is an interactive class therefore, attendance and participation, are expected for all classes,along with an on time arrival. Recognizing that we meet times, it would be unrealistic to thinkthat something will come up in your lives that does not allow for perfect attendance. Therefore
every student will receive 1 excused absence and one unexcused absence (the “not today”absence). Otherwise perfect attendance and quality participation is expected. This will accountfor 10% of your grade.TechnologyYou may bring a computer to class for course note taking/ activities only. The computer MayNot be connected to the internet at any time during class. Cell phones and pagers must be silentduring class. No unauthorized use of computers, cell phones, texting, pagers, etc. will bepermitted or tolerated, Unauthorized use will result in a complete forfeiture of the 10% gradefor participation.January 9Review of SemesterJanuary 14 - 16“What is Sports Law” DavisI.
