ADR & Transactional

Not every case goes to trial! Practice your skills in alternative dispute resolution or transactional law to advance your skills outside the courtroom. Typically, ÃÛÌÒ½´sends students to the following competitions: ABA Arbitration, ABA Negotiations, a transactional law invitational each semester, and, typically, Baylor's The Closer competition.
