LAW - 849A Legal Drafting: Contracts

(2 hrs)

In the practice of law, clients look to their attorneys to be not only an authority regarding legal interpretation, but to also understand and anticipate the nuances of complex transactions. When properly analyzed and crafted, a legal agreement will clearly allocate and describe legal responsibility and risk and, at the same time, articulate the obligations of the parties for future action. Combining discussions of relevant laws and legal scenarios, along with drafting and negotiation assignments, this class continues the academic introduction of contracts and offers essential skills for success in practice.  Prerequisite: LAW-516 Legal Research & Writing I and LAW-517 Legal Research & Writing II.
