Professor Robin Boyle-Laisure has published her second book, this time on Teaching Contract Drafting. The publisher is Edward Elgar, based in the United Kingdom. Teaching Contract Drafting is a comprehensive guide covering every stage of organizing and teaching a course in contract drafting. It covers the core concepts of contract building blocks. The book includes experiential learning suggestions.
Professor Boyle-Laisure has been teaching contract drafting for two decades. Teaching Contract Drafting draws upon her classroom experience. Her book also reflects practice experience from when she worked as a transactional attorney in a large Wall Street firm, clerked for a Bankruptcy judge in the S.D.N.Y., and practiced bankruptcy in a large mid-town firm. She has gained further knowledge of contract drafting more recently by providing pro bono assistance for non-profit organizations.
Professor Boyle-Laisure will be presenting on October 6th at Emory Law School’s Biennial Conference on the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills. She is scheduled to present for one-hour on the topic of pedagogical techniques, a chapter from her book.
Professor Boyle-Laisure’s first book, Becoming a Legal Writer: A Workbook with Explanations to Develop Objective Legal Analysis and Writing Skills, with Christine Coughlin & Sandy Patrick, was published in 2019 by Carolina Academic Press.
