Enhance Negotiation Skills<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p>The Transactional Law Competition Team conducts a variety of trainings, exercises, and mock-negotiations to help develop the negotiation skills of members. Members who excel at these trainings are selected to compete at the regional Transactional LawMeet in timed negotiations.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Learn How to Draft and Interpret Business Law-Related Documents<\/h4>\r\n<p>The Transactional Law Competition Team trains its members through workshops and lectures on the intricacies of business law and practice. All members are involved in drafting provisions of designated business documents for the regional Transactional LawMeet and review drafts from opposing teams.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Feedback from Top Transactional Law Practitioners<\/h4>\r\n<p>Members of the Transactional Law Competition Team compete in a number of MiniMeets via webcam submissions. Member submissions are viewed and ranked by law students across the nation. Top submissions receive personalized feedback from esteemed transactional professionals. Further, members chosen to compete at the regional meet will be judged by practitioners throughout the day and will have an opportunity to speak with the judges after the negotiations to review their score sheets.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Ability to Grow A Program In Its Infancy &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h4>\r\n<p>The Transactional Law Competition Team members are in a unique position to grow an organization supported by faculty and staff members and recognized nationally by <em>US News &amp; World Report<\/em>. The team is student run with all members participating substantively and administratively.<\/p>\r\n<h4>Unparalleled Practical Experience<\/h4>\r\n<p>The Transactional Law Competition Team is the first of its kind at Delaware Law. It focuses on a type of legal work historically overlooked in mock-competitions: transactional work. Transactional law is one of the most prominent activities in which freshly minted attorneys are likely to engage. The Transactional Law Competition Team will give you experience above and beyond your colleagues, will prepare you more fully for practice, and set you apart in interviews.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Executive Board Members<\/h5>\r\n<p>Jay S.
