Here are the subjects to be covered each week: 

• Week 2- Constitutional Issues, International Law issues or Administrative Agency issues
• Week 3- Torts, Product Liability or Environmental law issues
• Week 4- Contracts, Real Property or Intellectual Property issues
• Week 5 - Employment law issues
• Week 6 - Criminal, anti-Trust or debtor-creditor issues
• Week 7 - Dispute issues (such as meditation), business associations or securities issues.
