Tell your big firm lawyers to take the night off because your next contract is going to be redrafted for free by Penn Law Students! Well, you have to be selected first but what do you have to lose? Their teacher is uberdrafter Ken Adams of adamsdrafting.com, so you will be in good hands:
“I’m looking for a company that would be interested in participating in a redrafting exercise that will form part of my Fall 2007 contract drafting course at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
Whenever I teach contract drafting, I have my students redraft a contract to make it comply with the recommendations in A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting. I generally use a contract culled largely at random from the SEC’s EDGAR system. But in my two most recent semesters at Penn Law, I tried a variation on this kind of assignment, in that I had my students redraft a contract submitted by a company expressly for that purpose.
The idea was that instead of doing an autopsy, we’d treat a live patient. My students and I would redraft the contract and submit it to the company. We’d then have a conference call with the company to discuss our changes and what worked and what didn’t. I thought that this would give my students a sense of the contract-drafting process and would add a dose of the real world to the course.”
