Planning and Drafting Requirement

All students must successfully complete a substantial planning and drafting project that requires them (1) to anticipate problems and changes in circumstances and plan for their resolution in documents that govern future behavior and then (2) to draft those documents in precise language so that the effected persons understand their future rights and responsibilities.

The following courses satisfy this requirement: Contract Drafting (842), Corporare Finance (828), Estate Planning Seminar (937), Land Acquisition and Development Seminar (941), Legislation (822), Planning and Drafting Project (998), Representing Enterprises (833), and Transactional Tax Planning (978). In addition, the Dean may designate as satisfying the requirement other courses and seminars that meet this standard. The Planning and Drafting Requirement may not be fulfilled in conjunction with non-law courses approved for College of Law credit.
