Product Description
Many great features ensure the value and reliability of this text: - Emphasizes the nexus between the business deal and the contract, throughout: i. PART 1 introduces the building blocks of contracts and teaches the analytic skill of "translating the business deal into contract concepts" so that students learn how and why a drafter chooses a specific contract concept ii. PART 2 sets out the framework of an agreement and works through it from the preamble to the signature lines, discussing the business, legal, and drafting issues of a contract iii. PART 3 turns to drafting rules for good writing and to techniques for enhancing clarity and avoiding ambiguity iv. PART 4 details how to look at the contract from the client's perspective -- what does the client want to achieve and what risks does the client want to avoid v. PART 5 shows students how to integrate everything they have learned: how to organize a contract, how to use precedents, and how to review and comment on a contract vi. PART 6 addresses ethical issues that arise in drafting vii. PART 7 provides additional exercises - presents a five-prong framework for considering business issues that appear in almost every transaction: money, risk, control, standards, and endgame - includes plentiful examples of well-drafted provisions - provides exercises for use in or out of class, individually or collaboratively, including contract mark-ups, new drafting, and both combined into a single exercise - integrates a single fact pattern throughout many exercises in the book -- the purchase of a jet by a ne'er-do-well with significant financial problems -- and varying fact patterns relating to employmentrelationships and to assignment and delegation provisions - accompanied by a Teacher's Manual that includes notes explaining the answers to each exercise and answers to questions that students commonly ask - also accompanied by a website that provides all mark-up exercises that can be projected and walked through during class, a template for formatting, and multiple versions of one of the culminating exercises so that professors can use the version best suited to their classes

One of the best texts I have used in law school, 2008-05-27
This is one of those rare useful law school texts. I could see myself keeping this and going back to it after I graduate and get out into practice.

A Must-Have for Every Transactional Attorney and Business Professional, 2008-01-10
The majority of law books on the market today add more confusion and fog to understanding basic legal principles. "Hide-the-ball" as opposed to "this is how you solve this type of problem" seems to be the status quo. As my first year property law professor once said, "the moment you solve a legal problem for you client is the moment you stopped getting paid." So, you can understand why most attorneys and "legal experts" play hide-the-ball. Also, one major reason for the large quantity of litigation clogging our civil courtrooms is due to poor legal drafting.
In "Drafting Contracts," author Tina L. Stark provides the best "How To" guide on the market today for drafting and understanding contracts in the United States. Ms. Stark has checklists, examples, and step-by-step instructions of how to draft a preventive legal document.
Highly reccomended.
