This book has been revised substantially for 2021 and beyond. Each chapter in the book has been updated and this second edition includes a new chapter on employment issues. The book continues to be dedicated to the work of a full array of transactional clinics and serves as the basic introductory reading material for the seminar component of a law school transactional clinical course. The book includes chapters addressing:


Skill issues as they relate specifically to transactional practice, including interviewing, counseling, negotiation and drafting;
Ethical and professional role issues arising in that type of work;
Issues specific to remote and virtual interactions with clients and others;
Community group representation and economic development; and
Substantive law topics that students typically encounter in transactional clinics.


The book also has relevance to simulation-based courses focusing on transactional practice.
