Recognizing that the new ABA Standard 304 requires that law students complete six credits of experiential learning as a condition of graduating from an ABA-accredited law school, this interactive program will expose participants to a broad range of practical and experiential tools used to teach transactional courses from Corporations, Mergers and Acquisitions, and Business Associations to Transactional Lawyering Seminars and Clinics. Panelists will discuss and demonstrate experiential teaching methods to: integrate theory and practice in a Transactional Lawyering Seminar designed around a hypothetical merger and acquisition transaction; teach contract drafting as part of Business Associations; teach corporate document drafting in a “Skills Lab” as a supplement to Corporations and Mergers and Acquisitions courses; and integrate a modular instruction model of client interviewing and counseling that can be used as a course unit, part of a simulation, or as a unit within a course.
