The abstract:

This Essay is based on my remarks at the “Teaching Writing and Teaching Doctrine: A Symbiotic Relationship?” conference at Brooklyn Law School, February 2006. The Essay discusses the benefits and challenges of integrating the teaching of contract drafting skills and doctrine. The Essay then discusses some ways I have accomplished this integration.
