This program will examine the
role of finance in business transactions from various perspectives with the
goal of inspiring more deliberate consideration of finance in law school
teaching and legal scholarship. From structured finance to real estate, from
mergers and acquisitions to capital markets, finance plays an important and
fundamental role in transactional law. The intersection of transactional law
and finance is dynamic, providing academics, practitioners, and the judiciary
with both challenges and opportunities. First, a panel will focus discuss
financial literacy pedagogy, which may include teaching methods, teaching
business and finance basics joint degree programs; learning how to communicate
with business/finance people, small group work, and courses with non-law
students (such as courses with business school students). The second part of
the program will consist of scholarly presentations selected from a Call for
Papers.
