Description
Chapters give detailed definitions and examples of core contract concepts including representations and warranties; covenants; conditions; discretionary authority; and declarations. Exploring complex issues such as ethical negotiation, cross-border transactions and the impact of technology on contracts, it presents a nuanced syllabus that can be adapted for courses that focus exclusively on contract drafting as well as those that contain other elements. The book provides tested examples of exercise sets, grading rubrics, sample contracts and peer-to-peer activities, focusing on engaging students in the dynamics of a client interaction. It turns to neuroscience and learning theory to identify effective pedagogical approaches, giving concrete recommendations for how these can be implemented in the classroom.
Professors and instructors teaching contract law, as well as any form of transactional practice will find this book invaluable in developing their courses, with expert guidance on how to boost student understanding and engagement.

Reviews
'As soon as the book arrived, I paged through it. It's first-rate. It does a terrific job of teaching professors how to teach contract drafting. It's a much needed resource given the number of professors who teach drafting despite not having a transactional background.' -- Tina L. Stark, Emory University School of Law, US
