Description

This course is specifically tailored to meet the needs of experienced students in their last year of law school.

These components, presented longitudinally, will require students to negotiate and structure a transaction, avoid or resolve production problems, and manage various clients' interests as a troubled deal heads toward litigation or arbitration.
