General Course Descriptions for Terms: Construction Law
940 - Construction Law, Contracting, and Negotiation
This course, generally offered in the spring every other year, will study a broad array of legal and practical issues encountered with interdependent transactions focused on, but not limited to, the construction industry, including contracting and dispute resolution strategies and tactics, with in-class drafting exercises addressing key provisions of such process-oriented transactions. The course will also examine the use of artificial intelligence in contract drafting and review and in arbitration and litigation of construction disputes. Course materials will include an extensive, easy-to-read ABA textbook, a comprehensive set of PowerPoint slides, and various other supplemental items. A former student evaluation characterized the course as being "taught...in a way to make it applicable to all fields of law, not just construction."
