Client conflict of interests, and Duty of Confidentiality

Feeling pretty damn good on all areas, expect third party assignments, delegations, and novations.

This list is actually not-- bad.

Maybe take out defeasible estates since that stuff is dumb and no one needs to know it, especially if there's RAP involved.

Replace with landlord tenant stuff if necessary.

I'm on board with your FED civ pro choices as well. If it's Cal Civ Pro, I'm just going to use fed rules, and maybe cut the deadlines in half (or double it) and call everything a "cross complaint."
