Yale Law offers a diverse variety of simulation courses


Yale Law School offers a growing number of practice-oriented courses for its business curriculum, taught by leading practitioners in corporate and business law—many of them our own alumni, practicing in New York or Washington, D.C. These courses typically involve simulated negotiating exercises, document-drafting skills, and other practice-based activities under the supervision of experts in various fields.

Business simulation courses are offered in such areas as Compliance, Corporate Crisis Management, Negotiating and Drafting M&A Agreements, International Arbitration, IPOs, and Start-Ups and the Law.

Yale Law School also offers a live-client transactional clinic, the Ludwig Center for Community and Economic Development Clinic, in which students represent developers, small businesses, and community organizations in negotiating financing, real estate, and other business agreements.

Other simulation courses are offered in such areas as Appellate Advocacy and Civil Litigation.
