Temple Law School

Introduction to Transactional Skills (ITS) is an innovative three-week course that introduces 1Ls to transactional lawyering. It’s their first chance at Temple Law to learn by doing, and to start seeing themselves as real lawyers.

Working in teams of two, students represent the partners in a small business. They interview their clients, then counsel, draft and negotiate on their behalf.

This year’s course by the numbers:
• 223 1Ls
• 21 upper-level students serving as TAs and clients
• 23 teachers
• 73 alumni who observe the final negotiations

Thanks to Prof. Andrea Monroe and to all who make ITS possible.
