Teaching Transactional Lawyering
As someone who occasionally teaches, I enjoyed reading this paper entitled “Teaching Transactional Lawyering” by Drexel Prof. Karl Okamoto.
If you are involved with teaching mergers & acquisitions, either internally in your firm or at a college (or wish to do so in the future), I strongly recommend reading Karl’s work as I believe there is no better way to learn than to actually experience the topic at hand (or watch a deal lawyer at work). As the paper notes, to learn transactional lawyering is to learn the “craft” of it, rather than black letter law. Hear, hear!
