The AALS Section on Transactional Law & Skills is pleased to announce a session at the 2025 AALS Annual Meeting in San Francisco, C.A.

Pedagogy Panel on Experiential Exercises in Business Law

We invite submissions for a panel that highlights experiential exercises in business law. Exercises might include, for example, contract drafting, transactional research, mock negotiations, or other exercises that would fit into a law school course. We invite speakers to share exercises with the panel, to discuss how they facilitate and/or grade the exercises, and/or to teach a short mock version of their exercise during the panel.

Please submit a short proposal and/or a draft of the exercise you would like to present to Professor Benjamin Edwards (Benjamin.Edwards@unlv.edu) on or before Friday, September 20th.  Authors should include their name and contact information in their submission email but remove all identifying information from their submission.  Please include the words “AALS – Transactional Pedagogy” in the subject line of your submission email. Papers will be selected after review by members of the Executive Committee of the Transactional Law & Skills Section. Presenters will be responsible for paying their registration fee, hotel, and travel expenses.

Please direct any questions to Benjamin Edwards.
