AS TRANSACTIONAL SKILLS I

|
Course Description
|
This interactive, practice-oriented course is a prerequisite to Transactional Skills II and introduces students to the fundamentals of transactional lawyering, including deal structure, documentation, negotiation, and client management and billing. Students work individually and in groups to translate business terms into contract terms through simulated transactions. Although the class will focus on certain provisions common to all contracts, students will negotiate and draft documents which may include a term sheet, a publishing agreement, entity formation documents, a client memorandum, and an opinion letter. Students will learn about the proper selection and use of form agreements, ethical duties associated with transactional practice, and concepts related to billing and redlining, while building proficiency in Microsoft and Adobe tools and generative AI tools similar to those used by practicing lawyers, disclosing their use and prompts. A required common lecture is scheduled on Mondays from 9:30am-10:30am.
