Position Type
Part-Time

Boston University School of Law is seeking to hire a part-time lecturer to teach a section of Contract Drafting during the Fall 2026 semester or Spring 2027 semester. The three-credit class has a maximum of 12 students and will meet once a week (13 classes total) for two hours, in person, on the BU Law campus.

Contract Drafting

This course is the foundational skills course within BU Law's Transactional Law Program. It teaches students basic principles and skills of drafting and analyzing commercial and transaction agreements, with a focus on recognizing, and addressing through contractual provisions, key business issues in transactions. While the course utilizes lectures to introduce various contract concepts and techniques essential for drafting and reviewing commercial and transaction agreements, it requires that students complete both in-class exercises and out-of-class assignments as a means of building basic drafting skills and a solid understanding of the structure and operation of contractual provisions in a business transaction. The course utilizes a textbook, Tina L. Stark and Monica L. Llorente, Drafting Contracts: How and Why Lawyers Do What They Do (3rd Ed., 2024), but substantially all of the course materials, including power point presentations, lecture notes, graded drafting assignments and grading rubrics, have been developed by the Transactional Law Program and are used in all Contract Drafting sections.

Required Skills

A JD degree, plus significant experience drafting and working with contracts, preferably in a transactional practice setting, are required. Prior teaching experience, or other experience training or mentoring students or other attorneys, is preferred.

To Apply: Applicants should email a letter of interest and resume to Boston University School of Law, Transactional Law Program, Attention: Emily Robichaud, Associate Director of Academic Administration, at lawappts@bu.edu.
