Abstract
When I came to law teaching after several years as a practicing corporate lawyer, I was struck by two things. First, by the disdain in which - generally speaking - legal academics hold law practice and legal practitioners, especially corporate lawyers. Second, by the almost complete absence of "lawyering" courses focusing on the work of transactional attorneys, nonlitigators. I view both these things as shortcomings of law faculties and law school curriculums. It is my purpose here to suggest how both may be corrected.
