Contract Drafting

Catalog description

A lawyer once said, "Legal drafting is legal thinking made visible." The drafter's work not only makes explicit the parties' understanding of the deal but also (1) fills the gaps sometimes left in contract negotiations, (2) anticipates problems that might arise in the future, and (3) creates a document that is clear and unambiguous. Through a series of readings, problems, and exercises, you will review the substance of contract law and learn techniques for analyzing and drafting contracts that meet the particular needs and objectives of a client.
