Description

The course provides a grounding in the skills needed to be an effective transactional drafter, from the basics of grammar, style, and clarity, to the structuring and organization of complex documents. The class consists of a number of increasingly challenging simulations, beginning with drafting or editing a single contractual paragraph and ending with a complex purchase and sale agreement. The course includes a critical look at the sources and uses of forms and precedents for the routine transactional work that occupies much of many lawyers' working days.
