It’s that time again: I’m looking for a company that would be interested in taking part in a contract-redrafting project with my class at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
The idea is that I’ll select one contract out of those submitted by June 15. In the fall 2008 semester my class will redraft all or […]
Each semester that I teach, I inflict a series of drafting assignments on students in my Penn Law contract drafting class. This semester, the final assignment—the grand climax!—consisted of redrafting the first five pages of a master services agreement submitted to me by a major financial-services company in response to this invitation I posted on […]

I’ve contemplated making available online a complete set of teaching materials, but that will have to wait. In the meantime, though, I can make […]
A couple of items caught my eye in the most recent issue of “Business Law Today.”
One is an article by Susan J. Irion entitled “The New Classroom—Learning How to Draft Contracts in the Real World.” It discusses how law firms are using training in contract drafting to sharpen the skills of their business lawyers, and […]
Last Thursday I taught my first class of the new semester. It prompted the following unconnected thoughts.
