Ninth Biennial Conference on the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills
Emory University School of Law, May 30, 2025
The Change from In-Person to Online
Although we hoped to hold our 9th Biennial Conference on the teaching of transactional law and skills in person, we know that many of our regular presenters and participants may not be able to attend in person due to budget cuts affecting professional development funds. By holding the conference online instead, we can make it possible for everyone to attend.
Therefore, we now extend you this invitation to join us online on Friday, May 30, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (EST), to address our theme: "Integrating Doctrine, Practice, and Pedagogy to Prepare the Business and Transactional Attorneys of the Future." We still expect to offer you an excellent program, with each presentation followed by a robust discussion.
We also look forward to capping off the day with a virtual cocktail reception announcing and celebrating the winner of the Tina L. Stark Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Transactional Law and Skills.

Call for Proposals
We are accepting proposals from now through 5 p.m. on Friday, April 18, 2025. Please prepare to give a 60-minute presentation on any aspect of business and transactional law and skills education as long as you view it through the lens of our theme. How do we bring the three pillars of doctrine, practice, and pedagogy together to help students become competent business and transactional attorneys?
Publication of Selected Materials
As in prior years, some of the conference proceedings as well as the materials distributed by the speakers will be published in Transactions: The Tennessee Journal of Business Law, a publication of the Clayton Center for Entrepreneurial Law of The University of Tennessee, a co-sponsor of the conference.
Conference Registration
Because the conference is being held in a virtual setting, we can charge a much smaller registration fee than for an in-person conference. While we will miss sharing meals and informal conversations with you, we hope to make your virtual participation easy, enriching, and enjoyable. And we will enlist some technical help to make that possible.
The registration fee is $50 per person. Both attendees and presenters must register and pay this fee.
If you have questions regarding any of this information, please contact Kelli Pittman, Program Coordinator, at kelli.pittman@emory.edu or 404.727.3382.
We look forward to seeing you virtually on May 30, when we will be joining you from our new suite located in the William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law.
