Course Description
This class will be targeted primarily to 3Ls to provide an experiential learning class to better prepare them for the practicalities they will face in their jobs immediately after graduation. It will begin with a small number of sessions dedicated to going over the nuts and bolts of contract provisions that they can expect to see as they enter practice in the hope that they will require less hands-on training at their law firms and corporate jobs. Beyond the basics, however, the main portions of the class will consist of review and markup of specific transactional documents accumulated from real life transactions, and then practice negotiations of small groups within the class, with feedback on substance and style. Finally, we will have 5-7 guest speakers/invitees for the class (some legal practitioners, some C-level execs) who will share their experience working through transactions and/or communicating with and consuming the legal function.
