[Number] 7002 - 1 [Semester] 11482014 Fall [Description] Survey of Federal Courts: Who can bring an action or file an appeal in federal court? Who can sue a government official and for what kind of relief? What is sovereign immunity? Abstention? A successive habeas petition? In this 2-hour course held once a week, we will tackle all of these issues and others that commonly arise in federal court. In particular, we will begin by discussing the creation and role of Article III courts. We will then explore the contours of suits against governments and their officials, the relationship between state and federal law (including the law of preemption), and finally, the procedure for filing federal habeas petitions. This course should be of interest to students who are interested in litigating (particularly in federal court), practicing criminal law, or clerking for a judge. [Title]
