Legal Drafting: Law Practice (Professor McBurney)

Tuesdays 6:40 – 7:40 P.M.

This course covers some of the key instruments that you will be drafting in the actual practice of law.  Students will begin on a simulated case by drafting a research memo.  From there, students will draft a client advice letter, and a demand letter or response.  The case will culminate with a settlement negotiation, the results of which students will memorialize in a settlement agreement.  The course will also cover related topics such as email drafting and etiquette, oral presentation of research, and client counseling.
