DAY 1: LOGIC AND ARGUMENTATION FOR LAWYERS

Do you reason logically? Can you build a compelling argument? All lawyers have to convince someone of something sometimes, whether in contract negotiations or litigation, but some lawyers are more convincing than others.

DAY 2: CONTRACT DRAFTING ERRORS THAT CAUSE LITIGATION

What types of contractual provisions get litigated most frequently? Which drafting errors appear most often in ambiguous contract cases? Our speaker conducted a methodical survey of 50 state and federal ambiguous contract cases decided in 2021 to determine the answers to these questions (and others).

In this fast-paced and imminently practical program, using data and examples distilled from recent cases, you learn which provisions are more likely to be litigated when a breach occurs and which errors cause the most litigation.

From this program, you also learn how to avoid the most common errors and how to draft leases, contracts and agreements more confidently.
