Neg & Doc Drafting in Comm Tra

Catalog description

Elective Course My general approach will be to work with and train each student in the same professional manner that I would work with and train a first-year transactional associate. There will be an emphasis on being realistic and practical, and on achieving commercially acceptable outcomes. This course is designed to strengthen students? skills in two areas of fundamental importance to any transactional lawyer?negotiation and drafting. Specifically, students will learn how to develop and most effectively deploy their own negotiation style, understand the bargaining process, and then develop what they have learned to draft negotiated agreements with counterparties. The course is experiential, and it will rely largely on simulations and mock exercises to assess student progress in realizing the course objectives.
