Description:

Description: Today, many businesses engage in commercial transactions, ranging from the purchase and sale of goods to leasing to financing agreements. This course will focus on developing an understanding of how commercial law documents are created, negotiated, revised and finalized. It is intended to be a "hands-on" class, with all participants having the opportunity to experience what a transactional attorney does in practice. This will be accomplished primarily through simulated exercises that help develop the skills of interviewing, negotiation, counseling and drafting. Over the course of the semester, each participant will be required to prepare a number of transactional documents, such as domestic and international sales agreements, promissory notes, guaranty agreements, and letters of credit. In drafting a document like a sales agreement, emphasis will be placed on the drafting of particular provisions, such as representations, warranties, and covenants. Students may also prepare a short research memorandum on a commercial law topic, such as issues that arise from a client s use of an electronic payment system. Student taking this course may NOT also take Contract Drafting. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
