Planning and Drafting Requirement

All students must successfully complete a substantial planning and drafting project that requires them to do the following:

  1. anticipate problems and changes in circumstances and plan for their resolution in documents that govern future behavior; and

  2. draft those documents in precise language so that the effected persons understand their future rights and responsibilities.

Note

Neither the Expository Writing nor the Planning and Drafting requirement may be fulfilled in conjunction with non-law courses approved for Law College credit.
