10 Hour Law School
First three Chapters of Bus Law (for Law 1/10/19)
Introduction to the Paralegal Program
Logging in to your Online Class for Spring 2010 - You cannot login and start work on your online paralegal classes for Spring 2010 until Sunday, 2-07-10 at 6 pm . You can now login to class by using your Student ID and Month/Day of Birth. Our Spring 2010 semester runs for 15 weeks from 2-08-10 to 6-06-10. (Sunday) All assignments and work are due on Sunday evening by 11:55 pm. See the duedates for each week assignments and duedates (http://duedates.pbworks.com). You must be registered for the class at Mission before you can enroll in any of our online classes, and you must be registered for each law class you wish to login to at our moodle website. You must login to your moodle class and complete the the first week of class (no later than Sunday 2/21/09 or you will be excluded from the class. You can login to your online classes at the moodle website - http://moodle.lamission.edu
Look at the duedates for your class and the general syllabus and your syllabus and textbook for each class. Due dates (same as a list of assignments) are updated a few days before each semester or session (and are used by students for information only) - all actual classwork is submitted at our L.A. Mission website (moodle.lamission.edu)
West Business Law - 11th edition now required
Our paralegal program is now moving over to the 11th edition of West Business Law starting 1/01/09. If you use the 10th edition or the 9th, you do so at your own risk.
Starting Spring 2009 semester we will have two versions of West Business Law, customized for our students.
If you are just taking Business Law I as a business student and do not intend on taking the remainder of the law classes in the Paralegal Studies Program, then order wBL 11th edition - customized version - ISBN # 1424058570 - $110.65 - You can order this at our College Bookstore at http://www.lamissionbookstore.com/ and they will send it to you by mail.
If you are taking the entire Paralegal Studies Program and Certificate with all 12 law classes then order the complete customized version and that is ISBN # 142405897X - $153.05 - Again you can order that from the College Bookstore at http://www.lamissionbookstore.com/
We provide these customized textbook editions to save you money. You will save money ordering the customized versions of both textbooks from our campus bookstore.
Many students email about using the 9th edition as it is much cheaper. The answer is as follows: if you plan on only taking Bus. Law 1 as a transferable class, then you should probably just download (at $2.99 per chapter) the 10 or so chapters we cover in that class from Ichapters- WBL If you take Law 1,2, 10 and 19 for the paralegal certificate, then it would be better to just purchase the entire book and use it for the four (4) classes. If you decide to use the 9th Edition, you do so at your "own risk". The quizzes in each one of the four (4) classes is will be converted over to the 11th edition. If you currently have purchased the 10th edition and taken classes, and have a few more to use the WBL 10th edition, the change over to the 11th probably will not affect you greatly (probably a few missed questions on the quizzes). You may get differing text and answers to the law quizzes in each class, and again you do so at "your own risk". If you purchase the 11th edition from the bookstore, you can re-sell it back to them for 50% (I believe). Contact the LAMC Bookstore about their "sale back" book policy.
If you are waiting for your textbook, you can use the first three chapters of the textbook -
First three Chapters of Bus Law (for Law 1/10/19) - see disclaimer inside the link
Our Semesters & Sessions
Our Fall semester (15 weeks) runs from the first week of September until the 2nd week of December, our late start classes start a few weeks after the semester starts and run for 12 weeks instead of 15 weeks - and they are the same content and classes as our full length (15 week semester classes), Winter session starts right after New Years and is 5 weeks and is accelerated, and covers the same content and materials of a 15 week class (do not take more than two (2) classes during a 5 week session - 2 classes in a 5 week class are equivalent 4 classes in a 15 week semester). Winter 2010 for the entire LACCD District were canceled and so we have no Winter 2010 law classes. Our Spring semester (15 weeks) runs from the second week of February until the second week of June. Our Summer Session starts in the first week of July and runs six (6) weeks.
Adding classes (if classes are full) - Students should try to register early for the online classes as they are very popular. If you wish to add the class and the class is full, email Prof J. and explain why you need the class, and why you are registering late, and then provide the following information: Your name, your email address, your student ID, name of class, section number and semester. This is not, however, a guarantee that you will be added to the class.
Make sure that your email is the same as the one you have listed in the Student Information System. To create a valid electronic signature, you must log onto the *Student Information System (SIS)* Once you log in, you will see your SIS email address on the Main Menu page. If your SIS email address does not match the email address from which you are sending your request, click "Edit" and change your email address so that it does match.
Updating your email at the Student Information System (SIS) - If you do not update your email address under the Student Information system you will not receive class "mass emailings" when your instructor uses the SIS system to email the entire class. Also if you want to add the class when it is full, and you email Prof J. and he agrees to add you, then you must email from the same email address as you have on the SIS system so Admissions can authenticate aqnd verify you are, in fact, the student requesting to be added through email registration. Click here for instructions on how to update your SIS email.
Logging into class
Students are now automatically uploaded to the law classes they have registered for. Students no longer will use their old username and passcode. Now students will use the Student ID (88xxxxxxxx) as their username, and their Month/Day of birth as their password. Once they login they will see on the left side of their moodle page all of their registered online classes which they can click on to take them to that class.
If you use your old username and passcode it will not take you to your online class. So remember to use your Student ID/Month/Day of birth to login to your online classes.
Order of Taking the Classes
You should take Law 1, and 10 first, and you should wait until the end of the program to take Law 16,17, and 34. That is because 16,17, and 34 are more difficult and build upon what you learn in the other classes. Other than that order you can take the classes in any order. It is not like Math where you must take the classes in a sequence otherwise you will not understand the later courses.
Syllabus & Textbooks
Read the Syllabus-General for all law classes in our program. Then you can find the Syllabus for your class at http://missionlaw.pbwiki.com/syllabus. The textbooks for the class can be found at http://lamission.edu/law/textbooks
Reasonable Accommodations: If you are a student with a disability and require online class accommodations, please see Prof. Jordan an email to discuss arrangements. The sooner we are aware that you are eligible for accommodations, the quicker we will be able to provide them. If you have not done so already, you may also wish to contact the DSP&S Office in Instructional Building 1018 (phone 818/364-7732 TTD 818/364-7861). There website and resources are located at http://www.lamission.edu/dsps/
For students requiring accommodations, the DSP&S Office at Mission College provides special assistance in areas like: registering for courses, specialized tutoring, note-taking, mobility assistance, special instruction, testing assistance, special equipment, special materials, instructor communications, community referrals and job placement.
We started using a a new course management system called "Moodle" starting in Summer 2007. The moodle classroom is where you will submit your online course assignments and quizzes.
You may decide to not make your email avaiable to anyone (if you would like to maintain your privacy). You can do this once you have logged into moodle, under "edit profile" on the left side. We would recommend allowing other students in class to see your email so that you can form online study groups, or communicate with others in class. You can get a free email account at yahoo.com or hotmail.com just for your moodle classroom and then configure that email to forward emails to your home account. That way you only have one email account, your home email to check for emails
Please make sure you are registered for the online class before joining the moodle classroom. If you are not registered for the moodle class you will not be able to login to it.
Here is "How to Change your Passcode" in Moodle. Here is "How to Set your Profile" to not receive so many emails every time a student posts to the forums.
Logging in during first week of class is mandatory
It is mandatory to login to your online moodle classrooms during the first week of class. Thereafter, enrollment will be locked, and you will not be able to add yourself to the moodle classroom. You must then contact the Director of the Program, Prof J. and only after providing a valid reason for "not logging" in during the first week, will you be allowed to enter the classroom.
Duedates
Print out your duedates for each class - http://duedates.pbwiki.com/. The Due Dates are equivalent to your "Assignments" If there is a difference between the dates under "due dates" and your moodle classroom, the dates under the moodle classroom are more accurate and apply. Do contact Prof. J. (the webmaster) to correct any difference in dates between the Due Dates and the Moodle classroom dates for work.
Posting your Introduction to class, "How to Study Law", "Good Legal Writing", "The Uses of Argument", Analytic Thinking and The Six Pillars of Character - General Forums
The first thing to do in each class is to post to General Forums - your introduction, "How to Study Law" and "Good Legal Writing", etc. (this does not apply to the Law 2 class taught by Prof. Morinaka). We require this in each one of your online classes. If you are taking more than one online class you can use the same posting for each in each class you take. To post click on the discussion link, and then post your response. Remember to respect "other students" and be courteous, even if you disagree with their opinions. This is your "class participation". The discussion forums constitute 10% of your grade. Individual discussions are not graded. You will receive a "one time" grade at the end of the semester or session for your class participation. You need to post three posts to each forum (an original, and two comments to other students" work).
Learning Forums - Discussion Forums
Once you post to the first week's forums - General Forums, you will be required to post by Thursday, and respond to two other students by Sunday. see below. (a total of three (3) posts to each forum).
Discussions - these are open ended questions that are posted on a forum. They are in the nature of a "classroom discussion". Your participation is required, and you will recceive a total of 10% of your grade for your participation in these forum discussions (which will only be entered by your online instructor at the end of the session). Please be courteous in any of your postings and responses to other students. "Reasonable Minds" can differ, but please be polite.
New requirement for postings to Learning Forums (starting Winter 2009 session) - initial posting due by Thursday of every week, and at least 2 responses to class mates by Sunday
You will be required to post an entry to the class forum by Thursday of each week and you must respond to at least 2 of your class mates by Sunday of each week. Your grade on discussions and your 2 responses to each forum discussion is based upon the following: - "avoid responses like "me too" or a response that is irrelevant or adds nothing to the discussion, or does not provide support for your position expressed, and shows minimal reflection. Your postions taken in your responses to other students should be articulated with good support and demonstrate reflection.
Active participation in each forum is required. Your grade in forums will not be posted until the end of the session. It is 10% of your final grade, so it can make a difference between an A and a B, etc. grade if you do not post at least 3 times to each forum, an original post on Thursday and two comments to other students by Sunday evening.. (note: Law 2 forums may differ from the above.)
How do I reduce all of the emails I am receiving when students post to the forums? My email in-box is filling up quickly? Help. - click here.
Removing "student posts" from forums
The purpose of the discussion forums and "Question" Forums in our online classes is to inquire about "content" questions, or clarify primarily content questions about the class such as clarification of assignments, or questions on cases, the law, etc. Students are requested to use the same "etiquette they would use in an on campus classroom. It is not a "forum" or place to complain about how the class is run, or complain about how the website is constructed, or complain about other students. Also we encourage "robust" debate in our forums. Reasonable minds differ, and we ask that you show tolerance to other students' opinions. However, again students should use reasonable and appropriate language in their forum postings, and should show respect to their fellow/sister students. Students are encouraged to read apply the "Six Pillars of Character" when they post their work.
Our online law faculty may, in their discretion, remove "student posts",or even remove the entire forum (with all of the student posts), if in their sole discretion, a student or students are behaving badly, acting inappropriately, failing to show proper respect to other students or the classroom as a whole, and abusing the privilege of expressing their opinions in the forums.
Moodle Classroom Work
The posting of all of your work, assignments, quizzes is done under our moodle classrooms - located at www.moodle.lamission.edu - You cannot start work for any semester or session until a few days before the session or semester. Please learn more about moodle by reading information at http://1moodle.pbwiki.com
Please note that all weekly assignments during each session are due on Sunday evenings at 11:55 pm (Law 2 may be different - check that class for its due dates). Please no late work. Late work is not pemitted.
Word Processing
Some students encounter problems when "copying and pasting" from their word processors (MS Word or Word Perfect) into the moodle "submission" of assignments box. The moodle program is not really set up to maintain complicated formatting from a word processor. We focus primarily on "content" in our law classes. if formatting is important or required, you will be notified in the particular assignment. It is recommended that you use a simple word processor, such as "wordpad" which is found under "start/accessories/wordpad" in your windows program. Using this simple word processor will allow a simple "copy and paste" into the moodle posting "boxes" under assignments, under "submit" or "save changes".
Computer Crashes
In our online classes it is essential that students have a "working computer" to submit their work. From time to time computers "crash", lock-up, or have problems. The moodle program is very solid and most problems are with either the students' computers or their internet connection. It is the sole responsibility of the student to ensure prompt and timely submission of their assignments even when there is a computer crash or bad internet connection. Students should not procrastinate and attempt to submit work five minutes before it is due. Here are three hints to avoid this problem. One, make sure you have a backup computer resource, either a friend, family, or outside source that you can use at the last minute. Two, do a tuneup of your computer. Many of the computer connection problems can be resolved by downloading the new firefox browser, since many of the problems arise with the browser connection to the internet and moodle. Another problem is your computer set up with cookies, your cache, java, etc. so make sure you have set your computer up correctly, including "tuning up" your computer. Finally if none of these work, you can email yourself a copy of your assignments, answer to quizzes, etc. and as long as you do it prior to the expiration of the deadlines, you will preserve a record of your work, and faculty will accept a copy of your saved email as long as it has a date and time "prior to" the duedates.
Save Changes
Please do not use the "save changes" when submitting an assignment under the moodle program, as if it were a word processor. Every time you click on "save changes" it submits your work to the online instructor. DO NOT DO THIS. Do it only once when you are complete. Instead word process your work in a word processor, you can click to save on your word processor many times, then go ahead and copy and paste your work from your word processor over the the "save changes" posting box under your moodle assignment age and click on "save changes". The other problem is that you can spend a couple of hours working in the posting box in moodle, and when you click "save changes" it times out, and you lose all of your work, because you did not use a word processor, saving your work as you edit your document, you have nothing saved and you have "lost" all of your work, and have to do the assignment again.
Improving your grades on Quizzes
The quizzes under Law 1, 2, 10, 19 and 13 are taken fro the West Bus. Law Textbook. The questions are formulated by the authors of the textbook, and not any of the LAMC law faculty. The quiz questions generally require application of your materials, and "critical thinking". You may find these difficult. If you receive lower scores than you are accustomed to receiving, then look at this information - http://profj.us/26w/law1/improvemc.htm on how to improve your scores. You can also contact your online tutors for suggestions. A few other ideas you can do it to get a "study partner". This is how you do that. You look under the forums, the introductions and postings on the other questions and see who you might like to partner up with. Then go to "participants" in upper left corner of your moodle classroom, and email the student. and ask them if they want to partner up. You can work on quizzes and assignments. Remember, though, on assignmets you must post, in your own language, your answers to the assignments. Do not copy your partners work. This is plagiarism and "cheating". You can discuss the quiz questions and argue back and forth until you come to a better understanding of the answers, and then post the answers to the quizzes. Generally you should be spending a fair amount of time studying. If your scores and grades do not improve after increasing your efforts and time spent studying, then you will need to make changes. Contact your tutors or online instructors for ideas, suggestions and comments.
The quizzes are not timed but do have deadlines. This means you can go to each quiz, and click on "attempt quiz now" to first open up the quiz. You will get a statement, "this quiz is limited to (1) attempt. you are about to start a new attempt. do you wish to proceed" you may go ahead and click "ok". This then opens up the quiz. You can then go ahead and "copy and paste" the quiz into a word document, or your word processor and save, and print it out" so you can review the questions while you are reading the chapter in your textbook. You can then come back, reopen the quiz, answer each question, and then click on "submit all and finish" - you can only submit your answers "one time" and click on "submit answers" button one time since you only have one attempt to "submit the quiz". you must also do this before the deadline expires for each quiz.
The reason we do not time quizzes is we like students to study the textbook carefully and learn from taking the quizzes. Please note that the software is set up to "randomize" the order of questions each time you "reopen a quiz" so make sure when you come back after studying the questions and getting your answers to mark the appropriate questions with your selected answers".
Also note there is an appeals process if you disagree with certain answers - see http://profj.us/appeals - please send your appeals to our Paralegal Tutor, Kelly at kps70@hotmail.com - you can only appeal 3-4 questions each quiz, and you must do so within a week following your submission of the quiz (for a regular 16 week semester) or 2 days (in a winter or summer session of 5 or 6 weeks due to the abbreviated format), otherwise the statute of limitations runs.
Assignments and Quizzes
To submit Assignments and if your class has Quizzes then click on the left side of your moodle class, click on "assignments" - read the instructions carefully, and click on "edit my submission", and "copy and paste" your work in the box, and click on "save changes". You can confirm whether your assignment was submitted by again clicking on the assignment and you will see your submitted work. Quizzes may be opened, and then copied for you to study and then submit at a later date. Read moodle notes for more information.
Important Dates
Make sure that you follow the important dates during the session. They are found at the main college website - www.lamission.edu. Our main law page is located at lamission.edu/law
Costs, Duration, History, Accreditation, Classes
The program consists of 12 law classes. Each class is 3 units, and it costs $20 per unit, or $60 per class, or $720, and you pay for each class as you enroll and take it. The 12 classes normally take 12-18 months to complete. Your first few classes should be Law 1 and Law 10, and your last few classes Law 16, 17, and 34. Otherwise you can take the classes in any order. There are no prerequisites for taking our classes, nor is there an entrance exam. However, you should be an excellent reader and writer since you will undoubtedly do a large amount of reading and writing in our legal program. Upon completion of the 12 classes or 36 units you will Petition for your Paralegal Certificate and then qualify under California State Law to be a paralegal.
For almost 20 years we have been graduating paralegals since, and have graduated more than a 500 paralegals. We have a rich history and tradition.
We are accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), an institutional accrediting body recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Post-Secondary Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education. The Los Angeles Mission College Paralegal Studies Program Certificate has been approved by the Board of Governors of the L.A. Community Colleges (since 1987), and our curriculum is continuously updated to ensure that we are a quality paralegal program. Our program is an institutional member of the American Association for Paralegal Education (AAFPE)

Contact your Online Faculty
If you have any questions contact your online faculty. They are excellent instructors and are very helpful - http://lamission.edu/law/faculty.html
We have excellent Law Faculty who are experts in their respecive legal fields and who have taught in our program for many years. Your online instructor faculty information, biography, phone and email is located at http://lamission.edu/law/lawfaculty.htm. Our online law faculty will attempt to return emails within 72 hours of receipt. Pleasea be patient, and send a second email if you do not receive a response within that period. If a law faculty does not respond to your second email then please contact Prof. Jordan, the Director of the Program.
Your Textbooks
You can purchase your textbooks at http://lamission.edu/law/textbooks - Not all classes have textbooks. Law 12, 13, 17 and 34 have all the materials online and no required textbooks. Law 1, 2, 10 and 19 require WBL 10th Ed. login in to duedates - at http://duedates.pbwiki.com/ . If you cannot purchase the textbook at first, and you are waiting to save up the money, you can purchase individual chapters of the textbook, one at a time, while you wait. You can order them at Ichapters- WLB
Law Dictionaries
I have found that students who use "law dictionaries" do much better in class, and understand difficult legal concepts much easier. I would recommend two, one is "hardbound" and one is online. The "hardbound" is a small pocket law dictionary, very reasonable at $10. It is Gilbert's Pocket Law Dictionary. The second is the online dictionary at Law.com - http://dictionary.law.com
Our Tutoring Progam
Tutoring Program - In the Fall 2005 semester, we piloted a new program - the "tutoring program" - see program guidelines at http://paralegaltutors.pbwiki.com We have an excellent team of tutors who can help you with any questions you might have. Please take advantage of contacting them. They were all excellent students in our program who graduated from our program and who have encountered all of the same problems you will face with our law materials.
Broken Links
If you find any broken links on this page or in your online classrooms, please contact Prof J. - the webmaster for the program. Please do not contact your online instructors, as Prof J. is the only one who can update the broken links. Also please do not post that a link is broken under "Questions" in your class. Prof J. looks at the questions only once a week. Whereas Prof J. looks at his email on an hourly basis, and notification through this method will result in updating and correcting "broken links" much more quickly.
Also a good way to find, and locate information from "broken links" is the use the WAYBACK Machine. Copy and paste the link which is broken into the wayback machine. There you can find the information saved and many times get access to it.
Links outside of moodle classrooms
In an effort to provide useful information and resources, we provide links such as classwikis, podcasts, and the like. We do our best to keep these current and up to date. If you find any information out of date or links broken please contact our webmaster, me, Prof J. Disclaimer: if any of the information, links, resources, etc. conflict with any of the assignments, and information, and links that are within our moodle classrooms, the moodle information is what you should follow and not the links outside of the moodle classroom. Any reliance of the links, information and resources outside the moodle classrooms that is in conflict with the moodle classrooms is taken at your own risk.
Facebook Social Network (beta)
Our program has set up a Facebook page ("Mission Law") and will use this social network to communicate with our paralegal alumni and current students. Joining this network is voluntary, and not required of our students.
Paralegal Court Internships
Our program has recently developed an excellent Court Internship program with the courts in Burbank, San Fernando, and Van Nuys. Please look at our new program at http://court-interns.pbwiki.com - You must have taken at least Law 11 - Civil Litigation or Law 18 - Family Law before you apply for the internship since the courts want you to have some minimal training on handling court forms both on the civil and family law side. Contact Prof J. for more information.
Grades
A note on grades: you can check your grades in moodle by clicking on "grades" on the left hand column. Also note that grades will be posted by your professor to show your progress in the class. You can be dropped from the class, without notice, if you are carrying an "F" in the class. It is not the instructor's responsibility to drop you from class. Some students are dropped from the moodle classroom, and think that the instructor has excluded them from the class roster. Being dropped from the moodle class is NOT the same as being dropped from the class. If you do not drop the class yourself, then you may receive an F for your grade in class. If you are not going to continue in the class, do not leave it to the instructor to exclude you. Go to the student information system - http://www.profj.us/student/ and drop yourself. This is the only way to protect yourself from not getting an F for failing to complete the class.
Availabilty and Access to your moodle classroom. (effective end of Fall 2009 semester) Students will have access 24/7 to their respective moodle classrooms during the semester.
Closing of Moodle Class after each semester - At the end of each semester, grades will be posted in your moodle class and filed with the District within two (2) weeks from the last day of class. You should check your grade both in moodle and with the Student Information System within those two weeks. The moodle class will then be closed for access. The reason for this is for security reasons. Faculty teach the same classes each year, and are in the process of updating their class materials for future semesters.
Accessibility to your student work - Students are required to save all of their moodle class work on their own computers, or "flash drives" and cannot use their moodle classroom to act as a repository for their classwork. Requests to "reopen" moodle will only be granted under "extraordinary circumstances", and not because a student forgot to "back up" their own classwork on their computer.
Incomplete
Students may request an Incomplete in class from their instructor with the following conditions:
1. At least 75% of the class has been completed by the student
2. The student is passing the class (70 or above) at the time of the request
3. The student contacts the instructor at the earliest time to request the Incomplete
4. The Incomplete is not based on the inability to complete the assignments but upon circumstances beyond the control of the student (i.e. death in the family, hospitalization, etc.)
5. Incompletes are rarely granted, and are not favored except in rare circumstances that justify and Incomplete grade.
6. The student must complete all assignments within a year from the entering of the Incomplete
