Drafting Organizational Documents teaches clinical law students the indispensable skill of legal drafting by introducing them to the nonprofit and for-profit corporate documents they are most likely to create before graduating. Also appropriate for simulation and other skills courses, this book takes students through the process of identifying key issues, formulating provision options and crafting legal language. With chapters on the foundational documents for nonprofit corporation, limited liability companies, Delaware corporations and benefit corporations, this book enables students to draft documents from scratch in order to critically analyze and adapt forms.
