KARL S. OKAMOTO, Drexel University -
Earle Mack School of Law Law
schools are giving more and more attention to transactional lawyering. Once
relegated to a single course on "business planning," law school
curriculums at every level of law school are being pushed to include a new
focus on teaching future practitioners how to do deals. In doing so, law
schools are discovering that the skills required to be a proficient transactional
lawyer are often different from those needed by litigators or judges. Therefore
the curriculum that teaches students how to "think like a lawyer"
falls short when the goal becomes to teach them to "think like a deal
lawyer." This article describes a novel transactional lawyering course
designed to serve as the "keystone" course in a transactional
lawyering curriculum.
