Emory Law’s Center for Transactional Law and Practice is delighted and proud to host its first national conference: “Teaching Drafting and Transactional Skills: The Basics and Beyond.”

Conference Objectives

This conference offers those who teach drafting and transactional skills the knowledge and tools they need to comprehensively train students who are studying these areas of law. The conference includes sessions for beginning, experienced, and potential teachers of drafting and other transactional skills. Conference participants will have the opportunity to learn new substantive material and to explore methods of teaching that material. Panels will explore how to create contract drafting exercises, the impact of information technology on contract drafting, and how to teach transactional skills in clinics, in simulation courses, in first-year and upper-level doctrinal courses, and in first-year writing courses. In addition, panels will cover the basics of contract drafting, due diligence, and third-party opinion letters. Finally, the conference will offer those at the forefront of developing these new courses a forum in which to exchange ideas about teaching, and promoting the teaching of, transactional law and skills.
