Number	Title	Credits

Description of course 916 :	This course will focus on key drafting principles and provisions found in standard transactional agreements. Students will review key provisions found in Letters of Intent, Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality Agreements, Purchase Agreements, Independent Contractor/Employment Agreements, Technology Agreements (Software License, Maintenance Agreement) and Service Agreements. Students are graded based on in-class participation and several written assignments, either transaction documents or client memos highlighting issues and recommendations based on real contracts.
930	Mentor Externship	0
Description of course 930 :	Each year of law study, students are paired with respected lawyers and judges in the community. Mentors introduce students to a wide range of lawyering tasks and judicial activities and share with them the traditions, ideals and skills necessary for a successful career. Second and third year students participate in an academic credit pro- gram that combines fieldwork with a contemporaneous seminar component. The seminar fosters the habit and skill of reflective lawyering and draws upon student/ mentor experiences to examine the law school's mission in a practical setting. Class topics are designed to bridge the gap between student learning and life as a lawyer. Each student is given the opportunity to individualize learning goals specific to his or her unique path of professional development.
