LAW-412 - Contract Drafting

Semester Credits: 2 Weeks: 10

The focus of this course will be on the basic building blocks that are common to most contracts: the types of clauses and the specific language that make up the most common agreements. There will be small assignments along the way, including two writing exercises, with a final assignment to draft a simple contract from start to finish. In addition to the specific skills of reviewing, drafting, and negotiating contracts, this course provides hands on practice with some of the fundamentals of being a good lawyer—including organized thinking, clear writing, risk assessment, client management, and business judgment.
