Student Experience
The Transactional Law Clinic offers students experience performing transactional work for nonprofit and entrepreneurial clients. Students work under the supervision of clinic faculty and apply their lawyering skills when performing transactional work, including client interviewing and counseling, reviewing and drafting contracts and other documents, and assisting in other legal matters. The classroom component involves a weekly two-hour seminar that provides the theoretical and practical foundation necessary to perform transactional legal work.
